Twitter threw some epic shade at the partial eclipse – 12 shining examples
Sky watchers – the blue/grey thing above our heads, not the broadcaster – have been treated to an annular or partial eclipse of the Sun, varying according to where they were at the time.
The Moon passed between the Earth and the Sun, blocking out most of it for some areas, creating a ‘ring of fire, and ‘taking a bite’ out of it in other areas.
This was the view from Canada.

While some people tweeted the images they’d captured, or tried to, funny tweeters joked about the event.
We hope you enjoy these.

Gazing up at the awesome cosmic spectacle of a solar eclipse reminds you how insubstantial you are compared to whatever you just drove into.

If I were a two-million-trillion-trillion-tonne ball of nuclear fusion pumping out a corona at a heat of millions of degrees, I would simply not be defeated by a couple of thousand feet of cloud

Don't see the point of eclipses, tbh. You can look at the sun any day, but suddenly it's interesting because there's LESS of it?
