"Stunning Views of Annular Solar Eclipse from Space, San Diego, and the U.S."
NASA's DSCOVR satellite, located nearly 1 million miles away from Earth, captured a stunning photo of the annular solar eclipse that occurred on October 14, 2023. The image shows the moon's dusky shadow partially covering North America, with our blue planet against the blackness of space. DSCOVR, a joint effort of NASA, NOAA, and the U.S. Air Force, primarily monitors the solar wind but also conducts Earth observation using NASA's EPIC camera. Other satellites in Earth's orbit also recorded the eclipse, showcasing the moon's shadow sweeping across the contiguous United States.
