THE SOLAR ECLIPSE LIVE: TOTAL DARKNESS IN OREGON

A total solar eclipse made contact in Oregon just after 1:15 p.m. Eastern time on Monday, darkening skies as
the moon obscured the sun and cast a long shadow across Earth.

• It will continue moving across the United States, ending just before 3 p.m. in South Carolina.
 Weather forecasts were mixed in some locations along the eclipse’s path.

• Do not look at the eclipse without special eyeglasses that you have confirmed are safe.
You could permanently damage your eyes. Our guide on eclipse safety has instructions if you didn’t manage to get glasses, and another option if you’re stuck indoors. NASA is also livestreaming the eclipse.

• We’re collecting and sharing your photos from the eclipse here.

• Scientists are hoping their studies of this eclipse will lead to important discoveries about the sun’s
 mysterious corona, which burns more than a million degrees hotter than the sun’s surface.

Oregon and its visitors savor a total eclipse.
