Total Solar Eclipse Shadow from a Balloon
During the Great American Eclipse of 2017, the Moon completely disappeared behind the Sun for many people. This image, taken from a high-altitude balloon, shows the Moon's shadow cast upon Earth. Over 100 million people in North America saw at least a partial eclipse, and many traveled to see the total solar eclipse.
