(KRON) — The path of totality for Monday’s lunar eclipse skipped California, where only a partial eclipse graced the sky. Sky gazers who saw the full celestial spectacle were on Mexico’s Pacific coast, Texas, the North Atlantic, and Canada’s Atlantic coast within a 115-mile-wide path.
NASA explained, “A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun.”
The next coast-to-coast eclipse will not happen for another 21 years. NASA scientists and Getty photographers captured images looking up from the path of totality. See some of the best images shot Monday below:

YouTube said it would comply with an order blocking access to videos of Hong Kong’s protest anthem inside the region. The decision comes after an appeals court banned the protest song “Glory to Hong Kong,” which the largely China-controlled government predictably framed as a national security issue.
