AMERICA COMES TOGETHER
The name Monday Day of the Mon lived up to its namesake as Americans from Mazatlán to Maine came together for totality.
According to published reports, totality reached North America at 2:07 p.m., when the silhouette of the moon ate into the yellow orb of the sun. As the silvery glow of the corona materialized, the temperature dropped and D.J.’s stopped blaring music. A sense of hushed calm ensued as people captured the event with their phones.
