El acontecimiento que paralizó al mundo tardó una hora y media en recorrer el cielo colombiano desde las 12:56 p.m. y acabó sobre las 3:00 p.m.
En Norteamérica fue el primero en atravesar Estados Unidos en 99 años.
A las 18H48 GMT, el Sol reapareció detrás de la Luna en Charleston, Carolina del Sur, en el sureste del país. Fue la última etapa del eclipse antes de desaparecer del continente americano.
