Photos: Solar Eclipse Attracts Sky Gazers

A solar eclipse Sunday afternoon compels people to look to the sky as 85 percent of the sun was covered by the moon.

A solar eclipse compelled men, women and children to look to the northern sky Sunday as the moon covered roughly 85 percent of the sun.

Partly cloudy skies along the coast made the eclipse easy to see to the naked eye and camera. Others watched the astronomical event through pinholes or specially made viewing glasses with dark, thick film.

Did you see the solar eclipse? Got a cool picture? Feel free to share a photo of the eclipse in the gallery with your neighbors.

GREAT Photos! Still seeing spots after stealing glances through the diffusing cool cloud cover - worth it. That was one spectacular galactic show.
