LIVE: North America experiences total solar eclipse, starting at Mexican resort

The first total solar eclipse to grace North America in seven years made landfall in Mexico as millions of skywatchers gazed upward for the start of a celestial display at least partially visible, weather permitting, across most of the continent. At up to 4 minutes and 28 seconds, the total eclipse of 2024 surpasses the duration of the one that traversed the United States from coast to coast in 2017. That one clocked in at up to 2 minutes and 42 seconds. According to NASA, total eclipses can last anywhere from 10 seconds to about 7-1/2 minutes. Some other cities along the path of totality include: San Antonio, Austin and Dallas, Texas; Indianapolis, Indiana; Cleveland, Ohio; Erie, Pennsylvania; both Niagara Falls, New York, and Niagara Falls, Ontario, site of the famed waterfall, and Montreal, Quebec. #Live ##Eclipse2024 #solareclipse #PathOfTotality #Mexico #Mazatlán #moon #sun #TotalSolarEclipse #science #news #Reuters Keep up with the latest news from around the world:
