NASA and SpaceX film terrifying footage of eclipse from space
From the blackness of space comes… more blackness. The eternal cosmic horror that is the great expanding nothing of the universe invaded Earth yesterday, with the Moon blocking out the Sun out of spite, coincidence, or for God’s amusement. In other words, there was a total eclipse, and it was pretty neat.
While Earthlings all over the western hemisphere looked at the Sun (hopefully not directly), pointed at it and went ‘wow, look where it isn’t anymore,’ the heavenly creations of man had a very different vantage point for the celestial dance. Both the International Space Station and one of Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites got to watch the Sun turn as black as sackcloth from the wrong way round, and if you thought it was scary from below, you ain’t seen nothing yet, human.

It was only until I saw a total eclipse of the moon - where the moon went perfectly into the earths shadow, went absolutely BLACK and disappeared into the night sky, that I understood the absolute blackness of space - no sunlight = invisible....
Because of the size of the thinning cone of the earths shadow, and absolutely exact position of the moons eliptical (goes high and low - not flat like a dish) orbit, for a perfect eclipse to occur - it is very rare...
But if your ever fortunate enough to see it - best done by planning for it and tracking the moons orbital paths...
It's totally worth it - as a once in a life time expereience.
Crystal Clear night.... Fantastic.
