The April 2024 solar eclipse is over. All we have left are the memories, and lots and lots of photos.
Monday’s solar eclipse was a magical moment for millions of people in the roughly 115-mile-wide path of totality that stretched across the United States from Texas to Maine. Millions more, across a much wider area on either side of the path of totality, witnessed a memorable partial eclipse.
We’ve compiled a collection of photos from readers along the eclipse path, some who live there and some who traveled from near and far to be there. Enjoy!
From the path of totality
Those lucky enough to be in the path of totality — where the moon completely blocked the sun — were delighted and “dumbfounded” as darkness suddenly descended in the middle of the day. The United States won’t experience another total solar eclipse until 2044.

The partial solar eclipse
Millions of people on either side of the path of totality were treated to a partial eclipse, in which the moon only partly blocks the sun. While it has been said that seeing a partial eclipse doesn’t come close to the experience of a total one, the excitement Monday was still palpable among those in the partial eclipse path.
