The solar eclipse has reached totality in the United States, as the moon completely blocks the sun in Texas and continues north.
The Mexican beachside resort town of Mazatlan was the first major viewing spot to be plunged into darkness from the celestial phenomenon.
The total eclipse became visible around 11:07 AM MT and was present for 4 minutes and 17 seconds, according to NASA.
Thousands of people gathered along the coastal promenade, setting themselves up in deck chairs with eclipse glasses as an orchestra played the ‘Star Wars’ theme.
The first total eclipse became visible in the United States around 1:32 PM CT in Kerrville, Texas and was present for 4 minutes and 24 seconds.
