It's the morning after the big event, and images are already coming in. Here are a few of the early birds.
If you took an image you're proud of, please send it to ReaderGallery@Astronomy.com. It might appear in a blog or an online gallery, and we might publish it in the magazine. You never know.
Now, how long until the next total solar eclipse?
