APOD 3.8

Earth During a Total Eclipse of the Sun: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap150318.html


During a total solar eclipse, the moon's shadow creates a dark region on Earth. The shadow spot moves across Earth at nearly 2,000 km per hour, darkening the areas for only minutes at a time. This photo was taken during March 2006 from the International Space Station. This apod is perfect timing because today there will be a total solar eclipse!
