For the small towns and cities, there was a mix of excitement, worries about the weather and concerns they would be overwhelmed by visitors flocking to see the celestial event.
A partial solar eclipse of the sun, the first stage of a rare “ring of fire” eclipse that is expected to cut across the Americas, has begun to emerge.
Clouds and fog have threatened to obscure the view of the eclipse in some western states, including California and Oregon. With a chance of rain in its forecast, the small town of Reedsport near Oregon’s Pacific Coast moved its eclipse festival inside. Tens of thousands could get a double treat in Albuquerque, New Mexico. For the city’s annual air balloon fiesta, which ends this weekend, hundreds of colourful hot-air balloons lift off around dawn, hours before the eclipse briefly dims the skies.
