Over 309 eclipse viewers participated in the Solar Eclipse event in Niagara Falls X (Twitter)
China was dethroned of a Guinness World Record yesterday.
Niagara Falls officially set the record for the “largest gathering of people dressed as the sun,” just hours ahead of the total solar eclipse.
The worldly feat was set shortly before noon with 309 people donning red plastic ponchos and bright yellow sun costumes.
The previous record was set by China Life Insurance Company Limited in 2020, when 287 participants came together in the Chinese city of Guangzhou, donning red and yellow sun costumes adorned with smiley faces.
Shortly after the boat trip, an official Guinness World Records adjudicator joined Mayor Jim Diodati and posed with the official record certificate.
