Long Island got out their solar eclipse glasses— or homemade eclipse viewers made out of cereal boxes— to view the partial solar eclipse in the sky on Monday afternoon.

Long Island experienced an approximately 70 percent eclipse. At peak totality, the sky looked like this in Bellmore, NY.

Viewing parties were held across Long Island. Patch reached out via Facebook for pictures of residents enjoying the natural phenomenon across Long Island.
