Watch total solar eclipse from space: NASA, Elon Musk's videos show Moon casting shadow on Earth
WATCH video below: Meanwhile, Tesla CEO and owner of X social media platform Elon Musk also tweeted a video showing the "view of the eclipse from orbit". This video clip too showed a shadow of the Moon cast on a particular area on Earth.
Watch here the "view of the solar eclipse from a Starlink satellite on orbit". A total solar eclipse takes place when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun. “The sky will darken as if it were dawn or dusk," the NASA explains.
As per reports, a chilly, midday darkness fell across North America on Monday as a total solar eclipse raced across the continent, thrilling those lucky enough to behold the spectacle through clear skies. It was the continent's biggest eclipse audience ever, with a couple hundred million people living in or near the shadow's path, plus scores of out-of-towners flocking in to see it.
With the next coast-to-coast eclipse 21 years out, the pressure was on to catch this one. (With inputs from agrencies)Milestone Alert!
