A total solar eclipse swept across the vast Indonesian archipelago Wednesday, marked by ecstatic sky gazers cheering the spectacle.
The moon began to move between the Earth and sun at 6:19 am (2319 GMT Tuesday), and about an hour later a total eclipse became visible in western parts of the country.
The sun then went entirely dark in a broad arc right across the country, to the eastern Maluku Islands, before the eclipse swept out across the Pacific Ocean.
Here are some the photos you must see:
