Eclipse Photos

There is some coverage of the solar eclipse yesterday here. Also there is a neat photo of the eclipse from the space station here.

Which reminded me of this cool shot from the MIR in 1999.



This is the photo caption from ESA:
Here is what the Earth looks like during a solar eclipse. The shadow of the Moon can be seen darkening part of Earth. This shadow moves across the Earth at nearly 2,000 kilometers per hour. Only observers near the center of the dark circle see a total solar eclipse - others see a partial eclipse where only part of the Sun appears blocked by the Moon. This spectacular picture of the Aug. 11, 1999 solar eclipse was one of the last ever taken from the Mir space station.
