Have Photos of the Solar Eclipse? Share Them.

If you have photos of Sunday's annular eclipse, upload them to this post.

Millions watched the annular eclipse that swept across the Earth from eastern Asia to the Western U.S. Were you one of them?

The annual eclipse, characterized by a ring of fire, was visible between 5:16 and 7:40 p.m. Sunday, May 20th. The ring of fire is the result of the moon covering all but a bright ring around the circumference of the sun. 

To avoid serious , individuals were encouraged to follow the progression of the moon's path through a handmade pinhole projector.
