"Satellites Capture Stunning Annular Solar Eclipse Sweeping Across the U.S."

Earth-observation satellites, including NOAA's GOES-East and GOES-West, captured the annular solar eclipse that occurred on October 14, 2023. The satellites observed the moon passing in front of the sun, creating a dark shadow that swept over the Earth's surface. The eclipse started in Oregon and moved across several states before disappearing over the Atlantic Ocean. The event served as a warm-up for the total solar eclipse that will be visible from the U.S. on April 8, 2024.
