The longest solar eclipse of the 21st century began in India just after dawn Wednesday. Above, Hindu holy men watch through specially-designed viewing glasses in Allahabad, India. These photos are nothing short of amazing.
“Starting off in India just after dawn, the eclipse was visible throughout parts of Asia before moving over southern Japan and then into the Pacific Ocean,” report Heather Murphy and Claire O'Neill for NPR. “From Hawaii to South America, young and old gathered with their special viewing devices, watching in wonder as the sky turned black. Dogs barked, people cried, cows acted strangely.”
