Either way, a drink or a beer was had by all. Now to answer your question Tim... starting from the left, are you the third person in the row looking up at the sky holding a nice, ice cold, beer in your hands?

They can reach distances of 93,000 miles above the Sun's surface and last for several months, according to NASA, unless they erupt. Many photos Monday managed to catch a bright spot at the bottom of the eclipse. Murphy explained people were probably witnessing a "post eruptive solar prominence," which was likely the location of a solar flare.
