Photos: How Americans viewed the #SolarEclipse2017

Yesterday, many Americans took time out to watch a total solar eclipse; the first to cross the country since 1918.

People came out in large numbers in their special safety glasses to take in the rare occurrence. Some attended special viewing parties along the eclipse’s path of totality, while others just stepped out of their office or home to catch a glimpse.

Check out some of the best photos from the eclipse, which took a couple of hours to make its way from the West Coast to the East.
