Eclipse at the Moment of Totality in Westchester
We are part of The Trust Project
Many Westchester residents, wearing protective sunglasses, gathered at the summit of Turkey Mountain in Yorktown to get a clear view of Monday’s Solar Eclipse.
A solar eclipse is a type of eclipse that occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, and when the Moon fully or partially blocks the Sun.
The partial eclipse, viewed in Westchester, began at 1:23 p.m. At 2:44 p.m. the maximum eclipse occurred and ended at 4 p.m.
The event was highly anticipated in the United States as it was only visible within the continent from Oregon, traversing the country diagonally to South Carolina.
