Here are the best photos of the April 8 total solar eclipse over North America

The moon begins its descent below the sun's horizon during a total solar eclipse on April 08, 2024 in Brady, Texas.

On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse drew its enormous shadow over North America, cutting a 115-mile-wide (185 kilometers), 10,000-mile-long (16,000 km) path of sudden darkness across the continent.

Starting in Mexico, the eclipse moved through 15 U.S. states before passing across Canada, and was visible to an estimated 44 million people.  If you didn't catch the stunning spectacle in person, here are all of our favorite photos taken from eclipse watching parties throughout the Americas.
