The Latest: Hundreds come to Missouri Capitol for eclipse

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The Latest on the eclipse in Missouri (all times local):Noon

Hundreds are gathering on the lawn of the Missouri Capitol to watch the eclipse.

Jefferson City is one of about a dozen places in the U.S. where NASA will livestream the solar eclipse and people drove for hours to observe it in Missouri's capital city on Monday.

Joplin resident Carlos Sanchez says he first saw a solar eclipse when he was in high school in the Philippines. He said he was blown away, and a little frightened, by a phenomenon that he didn't then think was possible.

Now Sanchez is waiting in Jefferson City to watch another solar eclipse with his 7-year-old daughter.
