On Monday, droves of people donned protective eyewear and headed outdoors to catch a glimpse of the total solar eclipse.
In the United States, the sun was fully covered across 15 states along the “path of totality.” For 49 states, a partial eclipse was visible. The partial eclipse began near Mazatlan, Mexico, at 12:51 p.m. ET and crossed the U.S. at 1:27 p.m. CT. The partial eclipse ends in Caribou, Maine at 4:40 p.m. ET.
