"2024 Total Solar Eclipse: Spectacular Views from Space and Earth"

NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station captured stunning video footage of the 2024 total eclipse, providing a unique perspective unaffected by clouds. The ISS was strategically positioned for the event, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration compiled an animation from geostationary weather satellite images. The next total eclipse in the contiguous US won't occur for another 20 years, but Greenland, Iceland, Spain, Russia, and Portugal will experience one in 2026. With NASA's plans for a lunar base, there's potential for future eclipse views from the Moon's surface.
