TL;DR Summary

The solar eclipse, visible from the U.S., was captured from space by NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station and weather-monitoring satellites. The shadow, known as the umbra, traversed the U.S. at speeds of around 1,500 mph, taking just 40 minutes to travel from Texas to Maine. NASA astronauts aboard the ISS also snapped photos of the eclipse, experiencing a totality of about 90% during its flyover period. The next total solar eclipse will be visible from places like Greenland and Iceland in 2026.
