A school class on Marienplatz uses special glasses to look into the sky at a partial solar eclipse on March 20, 2015 in Munich, Germany.
While many complained across Facebook and Twitter about the rubbish weather ruining any chance of seeing the rare phenomenon, which occurred between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. GMT (4 a.m. to 7 a.m. ET) today, some people did manage to post some pretty awesome pictures.
So if you were one of the unlucky people that only saw a blanket of grey this morning, live vicariously through your social media counterparts:
