What started as a tiny crescent of the moon's shadow turned into a perfectly beautiful eclipse in the late morning hours in Oregon.
The total solar eclipse made a diagonal trek across the country. It ends in South Carolina just after 4 p.m. Eastern.
NASA is having a bit of fun with it, tweeting a joke about the moon blocking the sun — on social media.
"HA HA HA I've blocked the Sun! Make way for the Moon," said the official NASA Moon account, which blocked the NASA Sun's account.
