On the 8th (local time), a total solar eclipse in which the moon completely blocked the sun was observed in North America for the first time in seven years, attracting the attention of hundreds of millions of people.
According to foreign media such as CNN, people gathered in the United States, Mexico, Canada and other countries on this day to watch the total or partial solar eclipse.
Crowds gathered in Niagara Falls, New York, cheered in excitement when the moon blocked out the sun, CNN reported.
Major US broadcasters such as CNN organized special broadcasts starting that morning, connecting live to areas where the total solar eclipse could be seen,
After gathering on the slopes of a mountain in Stoll, Vermont, to watch the total solar eclipse, one man told CNN, "I knew what it was, but when I saw it in person, I didn't understand what it was like."
"I was speechless," said one man. "I was so lucky to be able to see it," said another. "I'll go wherever the next total solar eclipse is," said another.
