Solar Eclipse from Space

Beautiful image of the recent solar eclipse taken from the International Space Station(ISS). Also NASA has a 'Astronomy Picture of the Day' gallery that always has some amazing images.



"The International Space Station (ISS) was in position to view the umbra (ground) shadow cast by the Moon as it moved between the Sun and the Earth during the solar eclipse on March 29, 2006. This astronaut image capture the umbral shadow across southern Turkey, northen Cypreus, and the Mediterranean Sea."
