Use the interactive below to see how the rare spectacle looked in your city or town at different points during the day. The total solar eclipse [followed a path](http://time.com/4902132/solar-eclipse-path/) across the United States from [Oregon](http://time.com/4909732/solar-eclipse-oregon-pictures/) to South Carolina, concluding at 2:44 p.m. ET. While most of the country saw a partial eclipse, locations in parts of 14 states experienced totality. This [four-minute video](http://time.com/4900280/total-solar-eclipse-2017-video-watch/) captures the view from one of those places, showing the total eclipse as it appeared in Casper, Wyo. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4910122/solar-eclipse-missed-live/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4910122/solar-eclipse-missed-live/"},"headline":"Missed the Solar Eclipse?
