Earth Re: PhOtOs=Total Lunar ECLIPSE >Monday, 21 August 2017

Millions Watched Eclipse as Totality Swept Eastwards Across the US in Celestial Event-of-a-Lifetime

  • Eclipse has finished its trajectory, traveling from Oregon to South Carolina some 90 minutes later
  • The deepest part of the shadow, or umbra, cast by the moon fell over a 70-mile-wide, 2,500-mile-long 'path of totality' traversing 14 states
  • The first total solar eclipse to sweep across America from coast to coast in 99 years
  • Experts advised people to wear proper protective eyewear or risk lasting blind spots during the eclipse
  • Many in the Midwest missed the eclipse as rain, cloud and even fog is predicted over several states

A total eclipse of the moon: A composite image of nine pictures shows the progression of a partial solar eclipse near Banner, Wyoming, U.S





Darkness swept across the US on Monday as the eclipse traveled from coast to coast, ending just before 3pm EDT in South Carolina (pictured, the total eclipse in Oregon)





At one point, a plane was highlighted against the darkened sun, illuminated only by the solar corona





Within a couple of minutes the sun began peeking out from behind the moon as it carried on its trajectory over Oregon





The total solar eclipse is the first to sweep across America, stretching from coast to coast, in 99 years





Oregonians caught its first glimpse of eclipse this morning. Pictured is the eclipse taken from Depoe Bay, Oregon, this morning





The International Space Station can clearly be seen in front of the sun, and moon, in this stunning image






A partial solar eclipse is seen near the Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island in New York, Monday





People gathered near Redmond, Oregon, to view the sun as it neared a total eclipse by the moon on Monday



The temperature dropped and birds quieted down as the line of darkness raced across the continent. In Boise, Idaho, people clapped and whooped, and the street lights came on briefly in the middle of the day, while in Nashville, Tennessee, people craned the necks at the sun and knocked back longneck beers at Nudie's Honky Tonk bar.

This is the first time America has experienced a coast to coast, total solar eclipse in 99 years.

'The show has just begun, people! What a gorgeous day! Isn't this great, people?' Jim Todd, a director at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, told a crowd of thousands at an amphitheater in Salem, Oregon, as the moon seemed to take an ever-bigger bite out of the sun and temperature soon dropped noticeably.

Thousands of festival goers also traveled to the Oregon Eclipse Festival at Big Summit Prairie ranch in Oregon's Ochoco National Forest - a seven day international gathering celebrating the total solar eclipse.

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) had warned drivers that the eclipse could cause some of the worst traffic jams in the state's history. And traffic along many roads did grind to a halt this morning as many traveled to the state's national parks to try and get an unobscured view of the natural phenomena.

With 200 million people within a day's drive from the path of totality, towns and parks saw big crowds. Clear skies beckoned along most of the route, to the relief of those who feared cloud cover would spoil this once-in-a-lifetime moment.





The lunar shadow of the total solar eclipse entered the United States near Lincoln City, Oregon at 9.05am (PST) and totality began at 10.18am (PST). The eclipse ended in Charleston, South Carolina at 2.48pm (EST), and the lunar shadow left the country at 4.09pm (EST)





The eclipse began on the West Coast in Oregon at 10.19am (PST) and made its way across the country to South Carolina at 2.41pm (EST)
