NASA has provided a video from the ISS, which contains unique footage of the total solar eclipse from space. For hundreds of thousands of years, people and their ancestors have observed this grandiose and frightening phenomenon from only one perspective. Man’s entry into space opened up another facet of this phenomenon, and it is right to look at any event from all possible angles – this is the only way science is created.
The next total eclipse over the United States will take place in 2044. NASA did not want to miss the opportunity to show people the passage of the moon’s shadow across the Earth right now. Perhaps in 2044, astronauts will be able to look at the new eclipse from an even more amazing perspective – from the territory of the lunar base created by that time.
However, in Europe, the total eclipse will occur much earlier – in 2026. It will be possible to observe it from Greenland, Iceland, Spain, and Portugal. But that’s another story.
