Watch: The solar eclipse

NASA provides coverage of the solar eclipse this morning.

In Washington state, about 75% to 85% of the sun’s surface was obscured by the moon, and if you were able to view it, the sun would have appeared to become a crescent, just like the crescent moon.

In Seattle, the eclipse started at 8:07 a.m. Saturday with 80% maximum obscuration by 9:20 a.m., with the annular eclipse ending at 10:39 a.m.

If there was cloud cover preventing viewing of the eclipse, you likely noticeed a significant darkening of the sky as the moon blocked most of the sun’s light.
