"2017 Total Solar Eclipse: A Visual Journey Through Maps and Photos"
The last total solar eclipse in the United States occurred on August 21, 2017, with its path of totality stretching from the West Coast to the East Coast. Eclipse-watchers across the country, including those outside the path of totality, were able to witness at least a partial eclipse. The event drew crowds to viewing parties in cities and towns along the path, as well as national parks. Photos captured the eclipse's effects on Earth, and astronauts aboard the International Space Station also observed the celestial event.
