See it on NASA's siteThis mosaic photo captures the total solar eclipse from Phillips Lake, Oregon, on August 21, 2017. The image shows the last few seconds of totality and the first instant of third contact, when sunlight began to return. Observers stood in the Moon's shadow, witnessing this rare celestial event. The eclipse was visible across a narrow path in the United States.
