How the morning sky appeared for 3 minutes in Indonesia on March 9. Slooh

The total solar eclipse swept across skies in East Asia, South Asia, Australia, and Hawaii on the morning of March 9 – and spectators certainly weren’t disappointed.

The celestial event was most clearly and fully appreciated from Indonesia, where it kept some areas in near-darkness for just under 3 minutes. A partial eclipse was visible in Australia and parts of Southeast Asia.

Space observatories and social media users alike have been showing off the fruits of their morning stargazing, with thousands of images and videos flooding Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and other websites.

Here’s some of the finest.
