Saturday’s partial solar eclipse brought the rare chance to see a “double sunrise” for the northeastern part of the country and around the world.
The big picture: Photos captured Saturday morning showed a crescent-shaped Sun illuminating the sky.
State of play: Taking a glimpse of the eclipse without the right protective eyewear, like solar eclipse glasses, can cause severe eye injury.
