Rarotonga (US): A total solar eclipse crossing North America on Monday will darken skies along a path through Mexico, the United States and Canada. Totality will last up to 4 minutes, 28 seconds in certain spots.
The first location in continental North America to experience totality: Mexico’s Pacific coast, at around 2 p.M. EDT. The eclipse exits continental North America on the Atlantic coast of Canada less than two hours later.
PARTIAL ECLIPSE BEGINS OVER SOUTH PACIFIC
The moon has started to cover up the sun as a partial eclipse begins over the South Pacific. Millions along a narrow corridor in North America from Mexico’s Pacific coast to eastern Canada hope for clouds to clear as they eagerly wait for totality to reach their location.
