That is amazing! I'm guttted that it wasn't possible to see it here in London. It was meant to be possible to catch the end of it at sunrise, but it was all cloudy. Sad

I missed it. I will have to wait until I am 140 years old.

I was cloudy the whole day where I was. I'm satisfied with these pictures.

Thanks for the vid, dude. It's real cool.
