A 360 degree sunset is seen over the Blue Ridge Mountains as eclipse watchers view the sun during the totality phase of the solar eclipse on the Wayah Bald along the Appalachian Trail outside of Franklin, North Carolina, Monday, August 21, 2017. Thousands ventured into the Nantahala National Forest in southwestern North Carolina to view the two and half minutes of totality during this year’s solar eclipse.
