On Monday, thousands of people gathered at the Connecticut Science Center in Hartford to witness a rare moment in history. The bridge connecting the Science Center to the Convention Center was packed with onlookers wearing eclipse glasses, eagerly watching the event unfold.

The timing of the eclipse coincided perfectly with kids being on April break, allowing children of all ages to witness the phenomenon. There was a sense of excitement and fascination among the crowd as they observed the eclipse together.
