What a night of sky watching it was for the people of Hartlepool.
Hartlepool Mail followers took all of these fantastic photos of the solar eclipse and we could not wait to share them with you.
Some grabbed a picture from their gardens, others ventured further afield to Seaton, the Old West Quay, the Marina and more.
Well done to you all for sending us dozens of superb images and we thank you for them.
Have a browse through this photo gallery to enjoy some spectacular reminders of the celestial event.
And if you want more of a spectacular astronomy highlight and you are willing to stop up late, the Perseid meteor shower has just reached its spectacular annual peak.
It continues tonight and is known as one of the best astronomy nights of the year. Tiny dust particles slam into Earth's atmosphere at roughly 36 miles per second, they vaporize, creating brilliant streaks across the sky.
If you missed the absolute peak, don't worry. The Perseid shower remains active until August 24 and you can still catch up to 50 shooting stars per hour over the coming nights - as long as you watch the skies from midnight until dawn each night.
