In Hampton, Virginia, the eclipse was underway when the morning sun rose over the Atlantic Ocean: http://spaceweathergallery.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=88858 "We had a beautiful view of the partially eclipsed sun peeking between the clouds," says photographer Stephen Gagnon who stationed his camera on Buckroe Beach. Later, the New Moon covered the entire sun, producing an annular eclipse and then a total solar eclipse visible across the Atlantic and Africa. The narrow path of totality touched several African nations including Gabon, the Congo, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia. Browse the gallery for images.
