Much of North America saw a partial solar eclipse Thursday afternoon, barring obstructive rainclouds.
If you weren’t outside, watch the moon cover part of the sun here at TIME.com.
The sun’s dance with the moon was live-streamed from the Slooh Community Observatory beginning at 5 p.m. ET / 2 p.m. PT, hosted by meteorologist Geoff Fox with expert astronomer Bob Berman.
While the next partial solar eclipse is expected on Aug. 21, 2017, there won’t be another one visible across the entire country until 2023.
