If you want to what the Moon's shadow looks like as it crosses Earth, from space, I highly encourage you to check out NOAA's GOES Image Viewer! As of this moment, you can see a very dark circle crossing over the central United States.
Even better, the website will animate the last 24 or so images (captured every 10 minutes). It's awesome! [1]

- BurningFrog 2y agoThis shows the last 4 hours, which looks great right now. Is there a way to "permalink" to these four hours in the future?
- fragmede 2y agothere's a download link. could upload that to, eg imgur
- davely 2y agoI suspected something like this would happen and ended up recording my screen. [1] NOAA wipes out the images after a set amount of time (~1 month or so, looking at the images directory).

- dylan604 2y agoSitting under the cloud cover just praying that some of the gaps in the clouds would buddy up and make bigger gaps, I found myself looking forward to this view of being able to distinctly see the shadow racing across the cloud tops preventing the terrestrial views. While the moment of totality was reached was obscured so that I barely made out the diamond ring effect, the majority of totality was behind very thin clouds. As luck would have it, within minutes after totality completed, it was blue sky with pretty much no clouds. I swear the gawds hate me or someone in my town!
