US total solar eclipse
BBC OS gives a vibrant account of the day’s events with explanation and reaction from those involved.
We're live from Missouri as the US experiences a total eclipse of the sun. It's the first such eclipse to go from the west to east coasts of the US in 100 years. We hear voices from across the country as the line of totality makes its journey eastwards.
