The sun fully disappears behind the moon during the solar eclipse. The light behind the moon is white and bright.

The highly anticipated 2024 total solar eclipse spanned its path across North America. It made its way across the continent on Monday, April 8, spanning from Mexico to Canada.

Mashable has all the info on its path of totality, which began in Mexico around 11 a.m. ET and continued to make its way north throughout the afternoon. The further north the location, the later the eclipse took place.

Lots of folks — more than 30 million — live in the path of totality, making it a pretty special eclipse. Plenty of others traveled to get a glimpse of the jaw-dropping phenomenon. People who’ve chased eclipses in the past have said it’s a once-in-a-lifetime, truly perspective-changing experience. And, thus far, the images have been fantastic. Just look at these images.
