Across North America, people spent Monday afternoon gazing at the sky – with goggles, of course – at first total solar eclipse since August 21, 2017. The phenomenon spread to Cleveland and Cincinnati sports, where baseball players and fans viewed the eclipse at Progressive Field and Great American Ball Park, respectively. During practice sessions in preparation for the upcoming Masters in Augusta, Georgia, golfers and fans also stopped to enjoy the eclipse.
Below are some photos from the show.
