A rare total solar eclipse plunged the Pacific coast of Mexico into complete darkness at 11:07 am (1807 GMT).

The โ€œpath of totality,โ€ where the Moon completely obscures the Sunโ€™s light, will streak across Mexico and the United States, before returning to the ocean over Canadaโ€™s Atlantic coast, in a celestial spectacle witnessed by tens of millions of people.
