The island, which is only 63 square miles , is located 2,300 miles from the Chilean coast, making it the most isolated inhabited landmass on Earth.
Organized eclipse-viewing tours include Sky & Telescope, TravelQuest and AstroTrails. All are experienced eclipse tour operators that are headed to Rapa Nui/Easter Island.

That's much longer than the 4 minutes, 52 seconds possible in the U.S. during the last annular solar eclipse on Oct. 14, 2023.
