The Great American Eclipse comes to a close, as the moon completes its journey across the United States sky on Monday, with the path of totality stretching coast-to-coast for the first time in nearly a century.
Totality began over Oregon at about 17:16 GMT and ended at 18:48 GMT over Charleston, South Carolina where sky-gazers whooped and cheered as the Moon moved directly in front of the Sun.
“It was incredibly beautiful. I am moved to tears,” says Heather Riser, sitting on a blanket in Waterfront Park in Charleston, a bustling East Coast city where thousands had gathered to watch.
