A rare total solar eclipse plunged the Pacific coast of Mexico into complete darkness at 11:07 am (1807 GMT).<\/p>\n
The “path of totality,” where the Moon completely obscures the Sun’s light, will streak across Mexico and the United States, before returning to the ocean over Canada’s Atlantic coast, in a celestial spectacle witnessed by tens of millions of people.<\/p>\n
NASA tweeted saying: “We’re getting our first views of the 2024 total solar #eclipse as its shadow makes landfall in Mazatl\u00e1n, Mexico.”<\/p>\n
The next total solar eclipse that can be seen from a large part of North America won’t come around until 2044.<\/p>\n
Festivals, viewing parties, and even mass weddings are planned along the eclipse’s “path of totality”.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“A total solar eclipse is one of the most emotional events one can experience,” Jane Rigby, the senior project scientist for the Webb space telescope, posted. “You’re a part of the universe.”<\/p>\n
The eclipse offers a golden opportunity to study the Sun’s corona, the outer layer of its atmosphere which is normally hidden by the blinding light of the surface.
