Columbia watches solar eclipse as skies clear

 

The solar eclipse, as seen from Columbia, PA

Today's eclipse, which reached maximum at 3:22 p.m., was partially obscured by cloud cover during the first few minutes. Luckily, the clouds passed just in time for spectators to witness the final moments. Many Columbians watched the event with special protective glasses. Light shining through gaps between tree leaves created slivers of light on the ground in shapes resembling the eclipse.
