A Big Mac cost $3.99 that summer of 2017, and the Dow Jones sat at 24,719 — as North Korea's threats of war dominated international headlines and kept U.S. foreign policy on edge.

On August 21, millions of Americans stepped outside to witness the Great American Eclipse, a total solar eclipse that swept in a continuous band from the Pacific Coast to the Atlantic Coast for the first time in 99 years.
