On Monday, August 21, 2017 a total eclipse of the sun crossed the entire United States from the west coast of Oregon to the east coast of South Carolina. Only those in the 70 mile wide swath of the moon's shadow experienced 100% totality.
Here in southeastern Pennsylvania we experienced a 75.4% maximum coverage at 2:41pm EDT as shown in the center image above.
The image on the right shows the start of the eclipse 10 minutes after the moon's shadow bit into the moon, and ends 10 minutes before conclusion of the eclipse on the left. Images are 20 minutes apart.
