In the Chalfont PA Community Facebook group, Stephen Bell posted one of the first photos of the solar eclipse over Bucks County.

At around 3:15 p.m. group member Carmelo Berrios posted several shots of the solar eclipse to the group.

"It’s Happening, read Kurtz' post about the solar eclipse. "But we can’t see the solar eclipse in Bucks County cause of the cloud cover."
While the clouds were heavy, there were breaks that allows skygaazers to ultimately view the eclipse.
The Upper Makefield Township Police Department also posted a video of the solar eclipse to its Facebook page:
"Well…the cloud cover has now eliminated our unobstructed view…but, if you missed the solar eclipse of 2024, the next one isn’t around the corner," read a portion of the Upper Makefield police department's post. "The next solar eclipse for the United States won’t occur until August 23, 2044. That is all for now.
"Hope you enjoyed the celestial show and we hope you have a great rest of your day!!"
