Eye-catching highlights from the partial solar eclipse
Thursday's skies brought a welcomed treat to those who saw it on Thursday, as a partial solar eclipse darkened pieces of the sun throughout North America.
From the east coast to the west, lucky stargazers who looked upwards – with protective glasses, of course – got to see the rare phenomenon for themselves. Those in the middle parts of the country and westward had the best views throughout the U.S.
