Space enthusiast Brandon Berkoff woke up at 5AM to snap this picture from the Sunken Meadow Beach, Long Island, New York. “I got there right as the sun got above the horizon,” he told Insider.

Meteorology student Collin Gross was also an early riser, and met about a dozen people or so on the beach in New Jersey waiting for the eclipse. “It was amazing! This was the first one I’ve actually seen and it’s so much more amazing seeing it in person,” he said.
