The Moon passed in front of the Sun yesterday, giving rise to a stunning solar eclipse visible across much of the world. A select few even got a rare glimpse of an annular (aka "ring of fire") eclipse — the first to be visible from the continental U.S. since 1994.

Photographers around the world (and even a couple satellites shooting pictures from space) took advantage of the opportunity to capture some breathtaking images and video. We've rounded up a few of our favorites. With the exception of the time-lapse video (which you can watch in 1080p), every one of these images can, and should, be viewed in in hi-res, so click to enlarge and enjoy!
