On Monday, droves of people donned protective eyewear and headed outdoors to catch a glimpse of the total solar eclipse.
In the United States, the sun was fully covered across 15 states along the “path of totality.” For 49 states, a partial eclipse was visible. The partial eclipse began near Mazatlan, Mexico, at 12:51 p.m. ET and crossed the U.S. at 1:27 p.m. CT. The partial eclipse ends in Caribou, Maine at 4:40 p.m. ET.
This event marked the last opportunity to catch a total solar eclipse in the continental U.S. for approximately 20 years.
These are some photos of the total solar eclipse in all of its glory.

I was visibly confused when I received the Anova Precision Cooker Nano as a gift. I associated sous vide cooking methods with the sort of intimidating, molecular gastronomy-style cuisine that is typically a fool's errand for home cooks. But I quickly found out that a sous vide machine is the perfect tool for someone like me who cooks herself a huge batch of something on Sunday and grazes on it through the workweek.
