In North America, the path of totality – where the eclipse will be fully visible – ranged from Mexico’s Pacific coast to US states including Texas, Illinois, Ohio and New York.
It then made its way to Canada, moving from the city of Montreal to the provinces of New Brunswick and Newfoundland.
For the first time in more than 100 years, areas of Oklahoma experienced a total solar eclipse.
The eclipse started in southwest Texas and moved across the United States, including directly over southeast Oklahoma towns like Broken Bow, Idabel, Hugo, and Antlers.
The 2024 solar eclipse path of totality crossed the United States from approximately 1.27pm. to 2.35pm.
If you were in the path of totality, the sky darkened for several minutes and the air got colder.
The Oklahoma towns that experienced the longest span of totality included Idabel and Broken Bow, according to Eclipse2024.org.
