Rare total solar eclipse mesmerized millions as it darkened the Pacific coast of Mexico at 11:07 am (1807 GMT). The "path of totality" traversed Mexico, the United States, and Canada, captivating viewers with a celestial spectacle. NASA shared first glimpses of the eclipse in Mazatlán, Mexico, on Twitter. Festivals and viewing parties dotted the eclipse's path, with enthusiasts describing it as an emotional experience. Scientists seized the opportunity to study the Sun's corona, usually obscured by its blinding light. The next total solar eclipse visible from North America won't occur until 2044.
