PHOENIX — A solar eclipse cast a shadow over parts of the continental United States on Monday, April 8!

According to NASA, solar eclipses happen somewhere in the world about every year and a half, but most of them aren't in the same spot every time.

More than 31 million Americans in 15 states stretching from Texas to Maine had the best seat in the house to experience the moon covering the sun, known as totality.

Although totality didn't occur in Arizona, generally 60% of the sun was covered by the moon at the peak of the eclipse across the Grand Canyon State.
