President Donald Trump just looked at the total eclipse on Monday—along with millions of other Americans.

The total eclipse was also viewed by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer at the White House.

First lady Melania Trump and Barron Trump also watched the event.

Vice President Mike Pence watched the eclipse at the U.S. Naval Observatory while wearing protective glasses.

“Exciting to watch the total eclipse with @potus today! #Eclipse2017,” Melania Trump tweeted.
