Do you want to see a small plane doing barrel rolls and sharp turns through the moon’s shadow during a solar eclipse? Yes you do.
Total Eclipse of the Sun
On March 29, 2006, a solar eclipse occurred, and was captured in this photo by the MSG (Meteosat Second Generation) satellite. The dark shadow of the moon crossing in front of the sun blacks out part of North Africa; the total eclipse was visible in a narrow swath from Brazil across North Africa to Central Asia. The MSG is a set of two satellites in geostationary orbit which record images of Earth every 15 minutes, to be used for meteorological observations. -CEL
