Crowds gathered all around country to try and catch a glimpse of a solar eclipse as it moved across the Americas Saturday morning into the early afternoon.
Following a path from Oregon to Texas and into areas of Central and South America, the eclipse was seen and photographed by many in efforts to view and capture the rare "ring of fire" effect as the moon lined up between Earth and the sun.
