Video: Satellite captures eerie shadow on Earth as solar eclipse unfolds

A total solar eclipse swept across North America on April 8, momentarily plunging parts of the continent into darkness. The eclipse occurred when the Moon positioned itself directly between the Sun and Earth, obscuring the Sun's face except for its outer atmosphere, the corona, creating a dramatic ring of light. This path of totality, where the moon's shadow completely blocks the sun, was keenly observed across North America, marking a significant event for both professional astronomers and sky enthusiasts alike.
