Attempting to view this morning's rare solar eclipse from foggy San Francisco probably led to disappointment for most residents. But that doesn't mean we didn't try—it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity after all! For those who couldn't even see the sun this morning, let alone an eclipse, we rounded up the best photos from the celestial show. And you can always watch the live stream via NASA if Karl the Fog ruined it for you.

A not-so-total eclipse of the heart ❤️ ☀️🌒| Model: @alearemains ________________________________________________________________ #creativesontherise @hinfluencercollective #envisiontones #lensbible #hinfluencercollective #moodyports #worldofportraits #bleachmyfilm #featurepalette #portraitvision #aovportraits #portraitgames #bleeblu #agameoftones #FTMEDD #xelfies #gramkilla #bravoportraits #fabulousshot #of2humans @instagramskilla #pursuitofportraits #moodyfilm #earth_portraits #theportraitpr0ject #agameofportraits #photohunted @portraitpage @theportraitpr0ject @aovportraits @artofvisuals @dark.daisies @earth_portraits #instagood #vogove @moodyports #solareclipse #eclipse #goodinc

#Eclipse was less sensational than I'd anticipated, but a lot more delicious. Worth it 🌘

Waiting for the change 🌒🌚🌘 so glad I was able to see this eclipse today. You can interpret it from any angle you want, but really it was just a freaking amazing piece of nature to experience. Sometimes I think about all the awesome things that have happened on this Earth when no one was around to see them. It's cool we get to be here for this. Hope my friends in #portland got some good shots too! 🙋🏼‍♀️ . . . . . . #eclipse #solareclipse #sanfrancisco #cosmos #waiting

No eclipse glasses? No problem. Clouds got you covered. (Get it?) Beautiful view from San Francisco.

In light of the #TotalSolarEclipse 🌑, downtown SF looks like the beginning of some #StevenSpielberg disaster movie starring #TomCruise

Been there, done that? Think again, my friend.
