The first total solar eclipse to pass over the United States in 99 years provided a partial eclipse to onlookers across Orange County.
The eclipse provided a crescent view of the sun in the late morning for people at the Santa Ana Civic Center. Over the course of 100 minutes, 14 states across the country experienced more than two minutes of darkness, according to NASA.
