BUFFALO, NY — Hundreds of visitors gathered at Sahlen Field in Buffalo on Monday to experience the total solar eclipse.
eight-year-old Hunter Miranda says he wants to become an astronomer and says this is a special moment for him.
"I get to see it with my family and when the next one happens I won't be able to see it with my family, it will just be me," said Miranda.
A mom of two, Meg Woodring, drove from Pennsylvania to be able to see the totality.
"I saw a video on TikTok and that is what made me want to come, because I was like I will just see it from home but then he mentioned it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience so I am here," said Woodring.

Baltimore native Kallin Stewart says experiencing the eclipse was a dream come true.
"Seeing all of the phases of the moon in the sun was cool and awesome," said Stewart.
A phenomenon we will all remember.
"It's super cool and something that they will remember and won't see again for their whole lifetime so glad to share it," said April Sharp.
