WASHINGTON — While millions had their eyes turned to the sky for Monday’s solar eclipse, there was also a sight to behold on the ground.
Along the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, the sun was bright around 1 p.m. pre-eclipse. The eclipse reached its D.C. peak at 2:42 p.m., casting a shadow on visitors to the National Mall. Though the change was not extreme, a shift in lighting was noticeable.
The above time-lapse video shows how the light changed from 1 p.m. to 3:10 p.m.
