Solar eclipse chasers descend on tiny Western Australian town to experience 'wonders of the universe'

Eclipse chasers from all corners of the globe have descended on a tiny Western Australian town to watch the sun disappear behind the moon.

Among them are the Solar Wind Sherpas, an international team of scientific adventurers who have tracked solar eclipses across the Sahara and Mongolia, in Svalbard and Antarctica.

Now, they're joining about 20,000 people who will see the total solar eclipse from Exmouth, population (normally) about 2,800 – the gateway town to the Ningaloo Reef and its famous whale sharks.
