Total Solar Eclipse Brings Darkness To Mexico

MEXICO – A total solar eclipse had millions of people across North and Central America gazing toward the heavens today as the moon completely blocked the sun for more than four minutes in some areas.

The astronomical event was visible from Mexico and extended into Texas and across 14 other U.S. States. It culminated in Quebec and four additional provinces in Canada.

Eclipse fans gathered in places along the “path of totality”.

Parts of Mexico were briefly plunged into darkness, attracting locals and tourists who equipped themselves with special glasses, telescopes, and filters to witness the event.

The solar eclipse was visible across Arlington, Texas, for the first time since 1878.

On average, total solar eclipses occur somewhere on earth every 18 months.
