in the east on April 6, the beginning of this annular eclipse could be seen.

The path over which the ring may be seen goes northeastward to Perth, Australia; then traverses that continent to Cape Melville on the northeastern coast; crosses the Pacific Ocean, and Guadalcanal and San Cristobal in the Solomon Islands.
