On Monday, skies darkened in a rare coast-to-coast solar eclipse that swept the United States. The first eclipse to go from the west to the east coast in 99 years, it left millions mesmerised by the sight of the moon drifting in front of the sun and blocking its light. In the UAE, residents took to Twitter, YouTube and Nasa’s website to watch the celestial wonder. In case you missed it all, here are a few breath-taking photos and videos of the eclipse.
