Some members of Mars Science Lab's camera team from Malin Space Science Systems took a break from rover operations training at Jet Propulsion lab to view the solar eclipse from Santa Monica Beach.

When clouds blew in front of the sun, people were able to see the eclipse without solar filters.Support our Asteroid Hunters
