Treatment of South American thin cuts a Total solar eclipse on Monday. Most of the world’s live currents were able to enjoy the action, but the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellite got a very different view of the event.
While Humans were looking at the sun (When using solar safety precautions), Goose-East satellites monitor the Earth and the Moon’s shadow continues to move towards the oceans and land.
This NOAA Satellites Twitter account shared Eclipse GIF. It is a magnificent illusion of blue water, brown and green land, white clouds and dark shadows in motion.
Satellite images highlight the number of clouds in the field of view, meaning not everyone has a very clear view on the phenomenon. “Although it was mainly visible from Earth in parts of South America, the Goose East had a perfect view of the moon’s shadow orbiting the earth,” NOAA wrote.
