Cosmic wonderment struck again this past week, as a partial solar eclipse left may onlookers in the Northern Hemisphere awestruck when the moon passed in front of the Sun's rays. Did you miss it? Don't feel left out if you did; according to NASA, the eclipse was mostly visible in the U.S. in the Midwest, Southeast, Northeast, and in Northern Alaska, right around sunrise. So many were still snoozing. While others were simply in the wrong spot for optimal viewing. But thanks to some of the great photogs out there, we can still get a glimpse at the spectacular, shadowy "Ring of Fire."
