The image is really beautiful.

You can have a glance here, but I encourage you to go to the original site, since there’s much more interesting material there.

Since I was at work, just had a little moment to watch it. Here, in the Canaries, it was a partial one, and happened near 10:00 a.m., local time.

A friend of mine, Khertz could watch it for longer, and have posted interesting info about it (Spanish only).

Khertz is a member of the Urania Astronomical Assotiation of Tenerife. In that web, he’s published several pictures of the event. I encourage you have a look on them. They’re really nice.

During the event, in the Cosmos Museum of La Laguna, there was an online connection with a group of Valencia, where the phenomena could be seen in all it’s splendor (annular).
