Southern California may not have been in the path of totality, but many residents were happy to get a glimpse of the partial solar eclipse.
Hundreds gathered at the Griffith Observatory to watch a partial solar eclipse.
Among those watching the partial eclipse at the Griffith Observatory were Machi Desdaller from the Philippines. She brought her grandparents to the observatory to watch and to mark a milestone wedding anniversary. People packed into a field at California Institute of Technology to get a group glimpse of the partial solar eclipse.
There were easily 2,000 people who showed up for the rare event. Caltech even provided solar telescopes, so people could get a closer look as the moon crept in front of the sun. Even though Southern California was not in the path of totality, the partial eclipse drew thousands of people to the Orange Coast College Planetarium."I woke up this morning, and I was like 'It couldn't be any better than this,'" Jessica Artinger of the Orange Coast College Planetarium said.
