The moon's shadow swooped in front of the sun during a solar eclipse. Sky watchers in Europe, the Middle East, and parts of Africa and Asia were able to see up to 85% of the sun's surface obscured by the moon. Are you talking about the rest of the world? There was nothing to see but a bright sun that was smiling at us.
NASA can help you if you missed the eclipse. NASA shared a video of the eclipse from space using data from the Hinode satellite, which is managed by space agencies in the U.S., Japan, the U.K. and Europe. The entire eclipse can be seen on NASA's website in just 30 seconds.
Three different views of the eclipse were captured by Hinode over a three hour period. The moon is completely black and the sun is red in the sky.
There will be a total solar eclipse in North America in 2 years.

An eclipse in which the moon covers the center of the sun allows only a thin ring of fire to peek around the edges is what Hinode was able to see. The Latin word for "little ring" means a ring of fire.
The next eclipse will be visible to viewers in the western United States and parts of Central America, according to Timeanddate.com
There was a satellite launched out of Japan. The primary mission of the satellite is to study the sun's magnetic field in order to understand the mechanisms that cause solar eruptions.
