Stunning Views: NASA Captures 'Ring of Fire' Eclipse from Space

NASA's Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) captured a unique view of the recent annular eclipse from Earth's orbit. Unlike a total solar eclipse, an annular eclipse occurs when the Moon is at its maximum distance from Earth, resulting in a "ring of fire" effect where the Sun's outer limb is still visible. The DSCOVR mission's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) captured the shadow sweeping across the United States, providing a different perspective of the event. More eclipses are expected in the coming months, including a lunar eclipse on October 28th and a major solar eclipse on April 8th.
