Watch Live: Total Solar Eclipse Caught on Camera in Mexico, Heads to United States

The total solar eclipse North America had been waiting for arrived Monday.

NASA kept a livestream going for those whose location did not allow them to take in the spectacle or were prevented from seeing it by clouds.

“The total solar eclipse crosses over Mazatlán, Mexico with the sun getting completely blocked out by the moon. The spectacle happened at approximately 11:07 AM mountain time in the Mexican beach vacation town,” Colin Rugg posted to X.

“According to NASA, the sight in the town lasted for over 4 minutes. The total solar eclipse is set to first take place in the U.S. near Eagle Pass, Texas at 1:32 PM local time,” he wrote.

“If you look up now it looks like Cookie Monster took a bite out of the sun,” Beth Redondo, a science teacher at Vermont Virtual Learning Coop told watchers in Island Pond, Vermont, according to The New York Times.

Mireya Muñoz, 42, greeted the return of the sun to Eagle Pass, Texas, with a prayer.

“I wanted to thank God because we are alive and allowed us to see it. I hope to be alive to see the next one too,” she said.

A report in The New York Times attested to the devotion of those bound for a peek at the darkness.

“After many eclipse-chasers in Texas spent the day trying to escape the thick clouds, hundreds of people who gathered at a park in the small city of Mason erupted in cheers as the eclipse reached totality — with few clouds in sight,” Mike Davis reported.

Some decided to greet the event with a bit of sophomoric humor.

Kimberly Wood and Michael Mangialardi, who drove to Carbondale, Illinois, from Mississippi for the event, made foil hats.

“In case the mothership comes back, we’re going to transmit signals from planet Uranus,” Wood said, laughing. “You never know!”


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

“We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them. 

 

Former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn recently made that comment to Floyd Brown, founder of The Western Journal. 

 

And if the leftists and the elites get their way, that’s exactly what will happen — no real election, no real choice for the Electoral College, and no real say for the American people. 

 

The Western Journal is fighting to keep that from happening, but we can’t do it alone.

 

We work tirelessly to expose the lying leftist media and the corrupt America-hating elites.

 

But Big Tech’s stranglehold is now so tight that without help from you, we will not be able to continue the fight. 

 

The 2024 election is literally the most important election for every living American. We have to unite and fight for our country, otherwise we will lose it. And if we lose the America we love in 2024, we’ll lose it for good. Can we count on you to help? 

 

With you we will be able to field journalists, do more investigative work, expose more corruption, and get desperately needed truth to millions of Americans. 

 

We can do this only with your help. Please don’t wait one minute. Donate right now.

 

Thank you for reading,

Josh Manning
