The city of Mazatlán, Sin., was one of the few places in the world where the astronomical phenomenon of a total solar eclipse was observed in its entirety. Thousands gathered at the Sister Cities park to witness this unique event, filled with excitement and anticipation.
As the announcement of the eclipse reached the crowd, protective glasses were donned as they waited for the moment of totality. At 11:07 (local time), the Moon, Earth, and Sun aligned to create a cosmic dance in the sky. As totality approached, spectators shed their protective glasses and marveled at the beauty before them for four minutes.
The ambient temperature dropped and a cold wind blew as darkness enveloped the city. The appearance of stars and planet Mercury added to the surreal atmosphere of this magical moment. From various locations across town, spectators captured images and videos to commemorate this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
On stage, scientists witnessed the diamond ring and solar corona during zenith totality. This event inspired curiosity and celebration, turning Mazatlán into a second carnival for 2021. The traditional band music signaled the end of totality, leaving spectators with a sense of closure to this incredible experience.
