A partial eclipse on Florida's Space Coast, the rare astronomical event was photographed from the top of the Vehicle Assembly Building, as the Moon passed between Earth and the midafternoon Sun. The Moon's shadow moved across the landscape from Oregon to South Carolina. 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.
