"Live Updates: Partial Solar Eclipse Commences in Mexico"

A total solar eclipse passed over North America, casting parts of Mexico, the United States, and Canada in darkness, with about 31 million people living along the path of totality. The eclipse reached its last U.S. state in northern Maine, with peak totality shining over New Hampshire and a partial eclipse captured behind the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor. A stunning view of the total solar eclipse was also captured at Niagara Falls State Park in New York, with daylight plunging into a blue twilight as skywatchers experienced totality.
