A total solar eclipse is plunging the skies along a swathe of North America into darkness.<\/p>\n

The moon will completely block out the sun for more than four minutes in some places along a path starting in Mexico and crossing through the United States and into Canada.<\/p>\n

Millions are hoping for clouds to clear as they eagerly wait for the phenomenon to reach their location.<\/p>\n

Almost everyone on the continent is guaranteed to see at least a partial eclipse<\/strong><\/a> – weather permitting.<\/p>\n
