12:36pm local time:
the sun emerges again from behind the moon. We live on such an amazing
planet, that has such beautiful phenomena as this!
I found a couple of other really interesting
images on the Web. One was taken by the crew of the International Space
Station, courtesy of NASA. It shows the shadow of the moon crossing
the coast of Turkey; Cyprus is visible at the lower right. To me it looks more
like a void - a complete absence of anything - than a shadow. Kind of creepy.
The other is an animated sequence of images taken by the geostationary
satellite Meteosat-8, courtesy of EUMETSAT. It shows the eclipse along its
entire path, as seen from 22,300 miles up.
