Views of the total eclipse from Northeast Indiana

Residents from around the area gathered to watch the total solar eclipse on Monday.

In Monroeville, people of all ages brought lawn chairs and coolers to gather in public spaces, including the parking lot of the Allen County Public Library branch.

At Science Central in Fort Wayne, the center hosted a day full of educational eclipse programming all leading up to the big moment when the moon crossed the sun at 99.8% totality.
