NEW YORK (PIX11) — Crowds gathered in the streets of New York City Monday afternoon to witness an extraordinary celestial event — a solar eclipse.

A solar eclipse happens when the moon lines up between the sun and the Earth, blocking part or all of the face of the sun and darkening the sky.

Missed the solar eclipse? Here’s your next chance to see totality

New York City wasn’t in the path of totality, so it didn’t experience a total solar eclipse. But the city did see close to 90% of the sun covered by the moon.

A one-minute time-lapse video captured the solar eclipse as seen from The Battery in Lower Manhattan.

Watch the solar eclipse in the video player.

Scarlett Johansson says that OpenAI approached her to use her voice
OpenAI is removing one of the voices used by ChatGPT. Users found that it sounded similar to Scarlett Johansson, the company announced on Monday, and Johansson herself released a statement saying she hired legal council to inquire about the Sky voice and get exact details about how it was developed. "We believe that AI voices should not deliberately mimic a celebrity's distinctive voice—Sky’s voice is not an imitation of Scarlett Johansson but belongs to a different professional actress using her own natural speaking voice," the company wrote in a blog post.
