Solar Eclipse From the
International Space Station
Expedition 43 Flight
Engineer Samantha Cristoforetti took a series of photographs of the March 20,
2015 solar eclipse from the International Space Station. Cristoforetti wrote,
"Orbital sunrise and the #SolarEclipse... could it go any better?"
A
solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between Earth and the sun, casting a
shadow over Earth. The moon’s shadow masks the solar surface and blocks
sunlight from reaching Earth directly – but the amount of sunlight blocked
depends on location. Image Credit: ESA/NASA 03/20/2015 12:00 PM
