NASA releases stunning image of the total solar eclipse from space

NASA offered extensive coverage of the August 21 total solar eclipse and the space agency isn’t done sharing. 

NASA shared an “Image of the Day” on Wednesday, showing the moon’s shadow, or umbra, on the face of the Earth as it blocked the sun’s rays. 

Only six people — NASA’s Randy Bresnik, Jack Fischer and Peggy Whitson, ESA (European Space Agency’s) Paolo Nespoli, and Roscosmos’ Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin and Sergey Ryazanskiy — were afforded the spectacular view from orbit. 

Check out NASA’s photo and the other top photos from the solar eclipse:

The eclipse’s path of totality spanned from Oregon to South Carolina and was viewable from all lower 48 states.
