Most of those in North America, but not in the direct path like Massachusetts, still witnessed a partial eclipse, with the moon transforming the sun into a fiery crescent.
Total solar eclipses happen somewhere around the world every 11 to 18 months, but they don’t often cross paths with millions of people. The U.S. last got a taste in 2017, and won’t again see a coast-to-coast spectacle until 2045.
