A few hours back, North America witnessed a total solar eclipse for the first time in 99 years, where up to 14 states were masked in complete darkness.

It is being called the ‘Great American Eclipse’, where the Sun, Moon, and Earth are in perfect alignment. It is a once in a lifetime awe-striking celestial display very few get to witness in their lifetime.


Millions of Americans marveled at that breathtaking sight wearing protective eclipse glasses. Everyone in parts of South America, Africa, and Europe- have seen at least the partial solar eclipse where the moon covered a part of the sun.

Literally Day-turned-Night 

It was 113-km-wide and 4000 km long in the US and was drawn for one of the largest audience to witness this spectacle in history.

Last time it was seen in 1918, from the Pacific Coast to the Atlantic Coast and last total eclipse witnessed by the United States was in 1979.

This Great American Eclipse will be remembered as one of the most iconic celestial events in world’s history.
