SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has shared footage of how the solar eclipse looked from the Earth's orbit. Many Americans shared the photos they took on their social media pages.
Yesterday, we witnessed a magnificent astronomical event - a total solar eclipse. During a solar eclipse, the Moon comes between the Earth and the Sun, partially or entirely blocking the Sun's light. This creates a shadow on the Earth. When the Moon completely covers the Sun, it casts a shadow on the Earth that can be seen by observers. It truly is one of the wonders of astronomy.
In this situation, Elon Musk showed a spectacular view of the total solar eclipse from space on his X platform. From space, the eclipse appears as a small black dot on the surface of Earth, which is quite distinct from the way it appears to those observing it from the ground.
