WASHINGTON/NEW YORK (Worthy News) – A solar eclipse wowed millions across the United States, Mexico, and Canada on Monday.
The phenomena, dubbed the Great American Eclipse for its long path over North America — was visible in the sky over parts of Mexico, 15 U.S. states, and eastern Canada on Monday.
Mexico’s Pacific Coast was the first location in North America to see a total solar eclipse.
It then continued into the U.S. state of Texas and along a “path of totality” spanning more than 100 miles (160 kilometers) across the continent’s width.
The sun was entirely obscured by the moon for a few minutes in 15 states from Texas to Maine, but the eclipse was at least partially visible in 49 states.
Alaska was the only state where the eclipse wasn’t visible.
U.S. space agency NASA began tracking the total solar eclipse over much of North America and Mexico on Monday, saying the “sky will darken as if it were dawn to dusk.”
