Here's another shot of the solar eclipse look like from space, this time by NASA's Earth-observing satellite Terra snapped this shot while the shadow of the Moon fell over the northwest Pacific ocean (very close to the same time as the MTSAT shot in this gallery). Clouds swirl to the east, which probably would have blocked the view for anyone underneath as the eclipse shadow sped northeastward to pass by first the Aleutian Islands off Alaska, and then southeast to to the United States. Credit: NASA/Terra
