Thanks to everybody who shared their eclipse experiences — here are some of our favorites. (Scroll to the end for a very good dog.)

A partial eclipse, with the sun's glare illuminating a sliver of moon.

It’ll take a little longer to catch a good tan in rays like these, but it’s technically possible.

Who needs a total eclipse when you can have hundreds of mini-eclipses? (Shoutout to readers Barbara S. + Kelly B., who also sent us some great pinhole projector pics.)

Eye safety is important for the whole family.

Thanks again to our intrepid photographers. See you in 2044.
