Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Guardian
The annular solar eclipse, also known as the "ring of fire," has reached Texas, marking the final state in the US to experience the full effect of the eclipse. Viewers in Texas witnessed the moon passing fully in front of the sun, creating cheers and the visibility of Baily's beads. The eclipse has now been visible in all eight mainland states, while viewers in other states enjoyed varying degrees of a partial eclipse. The eclipse will soon depart the US coast and continue its journey across the Gulf of Mexico and towards the Yucatan peninsula and countries in South and Central America.
