Total solar eclipse hits Texas before arcing across rest of US, Canada

Description

A rare total solar eclipse plunges the city of Ingram, Texas into complete darkness at 1:33 pm local time (1833 GMT). The "path of totality," where the Moon completely obscures the Sun's light, will streak across the United States, before returning to the ocean over Canada's Atlantic coast, in a celestial spectacle witnessed by tens of millions of people.

    The 2024 solar eclipse begins in the city of Kerrville, Texas, which is in the path of complete totality for the astronomical phenomenon. The maximum extent of the Moon's shadow will land on Mexico's Pacific coast at 11:07 am local time (1807 GMT), then speed northeast across a 15-state swath of the United States and on to Canada, exiting the continent over Newfoundland just under an hour-and-a-half later. The next total solar eclipse that can be seen from a large part of North America won't come around until 2044. IMAGES
