This amazing event lasted for just about five minutes, as predicted by astronomers. People in various cities across Mexico, Canada, and the United States had the chance to witness its beauty.

The eclipse started in the Pacific Ocean near the Kiribati islands and then moved towards Mexico around noon local time. Later, it crossed over Texas skies after 1:30 pm and journeyed through other US states such as Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York State, Vermont, and Maine. Finally, it was visible along the Canadian border.

One of the reasons this eclipse was so special is that in some cities, the moon completely blocked the sun, allowing us to see almost all the planets that can usually only be seen with the naked eye.
