In the days and hours leading up to Monday’s total solar eclipse, millions of people ventured to a spot on the path of totality hoping to catch a glimpse of the rare celestial event. Across the country, eclipse-watchers pointed their cameras at the sky. But we wanted to show you what the experience was like on the ground.
We asked people on — or very close to — the path of the solar eclipse to show us photos of where they were and how they celebrated. See more of their photos on Instagram, under the hashtag #NYTeclipsewatch.
