A Solar Eclipse, From an Astronauts P.O.V.

Came Across this today while using stumble upon, I never actually stopped and thought what the shadow of the moon must look like passing over the earth during a solar eclipse.

Unfortunately pictures never do justice, you or I will more then likely never have the opportunity to witness something like this, the way it should be witnessed, first hand.

Enjoy the photo's, because for now, there all we got

WOW. That is awesome picture, it really goes to show how magnificent our universe really is. Good find mate.

Ty so much for the links, the energy signature of the darkened area is amazing. It is almost tangible in its presence upon the earth.

Thanks! I knew the space-based images would be showing up before too long.

Oh. Those aren't from the recent eclipse but awesome just the same.

yeah, there not from the new one, but there still new to me, and i can't imagine it looking to much different.

Glad you enjoyed it.

I wonder if that spot on Jupiter isn't the same thing...an object casting a shadow.

Just curious, are you hinting at a 2012 niburu/wormwood/dwarf star thing?

I think its fairly easy to tell the difference, but your theory is a interesting one none the less.

hope you liked the photo's.

I find this to be really creepy. If I didn't know it was from an eclipse I wouldn't know what to think.

Star and Flag

great pics, i wonder if any one will ever get the chance to see an eclips from the moon one day ?

Man Such a nice view from above. I wonder... Since this is the VERY first time the Dark Side of the Moon has been lit up.... i Wonder what does it look like? HMMMMMMMMMM Wonder if any secret satallite was at the moon at the time of the Eclipse. Would be nice to see a well lit Dark side of the moon.

I haven't looked through all of the released pictures from NASA, but it is rare to have stars in the background like you see in the first posted pic. Again I have not seen all the pic's so if you know of any with a clear background please let me know. Great pics thanks for posting.

Dark side of the moon lit up during solar eclipse could be a nice thread.4 th post so I can't create threads yet or u2u.16 posts to go

didnt that spot on Jupiter happen 15 years ago? thats what it said on the article i read.

also those white objects on the 2nd picture.. are they satelites? or shuttles?

There is no dark side of the moon. All "sides" of the moon are illuminated by the sun every month, just as all "sides" of the Earth are illuminated every day.

what is that pillar of "smoke?" coming ....from? the station?

Dark side of the moon lit up for hte first time in 1300 years.
