NASA Showed What A Solar Eclipse Looks Like From Space
NASA has published footage of a solar eclipse. The cosmic phenomenon was observed yesterday, April 8. The total solar eclipse was visible from Mexico, Canada and the United States, as well as some islands in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
NASA has provided a video from aboard the ISS, which contains unique footage of observing a total solar eclipse from space. People and their ancestors have observed this grandiose and frightening phenomenon from only one angle for hundreds of thousands of years. The entry of man into space opened up another facet of this phenomenon, and it is correct to look at any event from all possible angles – this is the only way science is done.
The next total eclipse over the United States will occur in 2044. NASA didn’t want to miss the opportunity to show people the passage of the Moon’s shadow across the Earth right now. Perhaps in 2044, astronauts will be able to look at the new eclipse from an even more amazing angle – from the territory of the lunar base created by that time.
