Earth During a Total Eclipse of the Sun
During a total solar eclipse, Earth appears dark in the region where people see the eclipse (due to the shadow of the Moon - shadow spot moves on Earth's surface at nearly 2,000 kilometers per hour - darkening locations for only a few minutes each). The image show is the Earth during the total solar eclipse of 2006 March (from the International Space Station). Friday, another eclipse will take place, created another distorted shadow that will be over part of the north Atlantic Ocean.
