Watch stunning first images of total eclipse in North America

Watch the first stunning images of the total solar eclipse as the phenomenon begins to cross the North American continent.

The total eclipse became visible on the coast of Mexico at 11:07 local time (14:07 EDT; 19:07 BST), as crowds on the beach went wild.

The video shows the moment the Moon completely obscures the Sun, turning day to night and revealing the dazzling corona.
