During Monday’s full eclipse, the moon slipped right in front of the sun, entirely blocking it.
The resulting twilight, with only the sun’s outer atmosphere or corona visible, was awe-inspiring for many of those in the “path of totality”
Meghan Jendrysik drove from Somerville to Danville, Vt. to see the eclipse in that “path of totality”
The out-of-sync darkness lasts up to 4 minutes, 28 seconds. That’s almost twice as long as it was during the U.S. coast-to-coast eclipse seven years ago because the moon is closer to Earth.
It will be another 21 years before the U.S. sees another total solar eclipse on this scale.
