The total solar eclipse on Monday afternoon lived up to the hype, according to many who witnessed it. The path of totality reached Washington at 3:02 p.m., lasting nearly 4 minutes. Hoosiers and visitors from other states gathered in various locations to get a good view of the phenomenon and were not disappointed. We made the rounds to get reactions at the event.
Millions across the country watched as the eclipse’s shadow moved from Texas to Maine. The next total solar eclipse visible from the contiguous United States won’t occur until 2044, according to NASA, and will only shadow three states: North and South Dakota, and Montana.
