The Jamaica Information Service (JIS) captured a shot of the solar eclipse in the Kingston skies at about 2:30 p.m. on Monday (April 8). The full eclipse swept across North America, plunging sections of the United States, Canada and Mexico into darkness for about four minutes as the moon came directly between the Earth and the sun, completely blocking the light of the sun. Jamaica and other Caribbean countries experienced a partial eclipse, where only a part of the sun was covered.
