Total Solar Eclipse, Backwards
If you have ever witnessed a total solar eclipse, or even a partial eclipse, you know what an awesome experience it can be. But what would such an event look like from space?
Well the boys and girls at NASA know, and even took an awesome picture.
The shadow of the moon falls on Earth as seen from the International Space Station, 230 miles above the planet, during a total solar eclipse at about 4:50 a.m. EST March 29. This digital photo was taken by the Expedition 12 crew, who are wrapping up a six-month mission on the ISS. Visible near the shadow are portions of Cyprus in the Mediterranean Sea and the coast of Turkey.
