From the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, guests joined Americans from coast to coast following the solar eclipse. Speaking at the event was astronaut John-David Bartoe. Although a partial eclipse on Florida's Space Coast, young and old alike found many ways to watch the rare astronomical event. As the Moon passed between Earth and the midafternoon Sun, a shadow moved across the landscape. The 70-mile-wide totality path, or "umbral cone" -- where the entire Sun will vanish behind the Moon -- stretched across 14 states, from Oregon to South Carolina.
