Solar Eclipse Mania Grips North America<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Solar eclipse<\/a> mania gripped North America on Monday as the breathtaking celestial spectacle captivated tens of millions of people.<\/p>\n

The Moon’s shadow plunged the Pacific coast of Mexico into total darkness at 18:07 GMT and then swept across the US, returning to the ocean over Canada’s Atlantic coast just under an hour and a half after landfall.<\/p>\n

According to NASA, the path of totality was 185 kilometers wide and home to nearly 32 million Americans.<\/p>\n
