Eclipse viewing
« on: 03/17/2008 07:34 am »
Total solar eclipse is a rather rare phenomena regarding a particular place on Earth.

I would imagine/hope that a fast moving orbital vehicle have better chance to experience it.

I wonder if any STS or ISS crew have ever observed and taken picture of a total solar eclipse. When I say picture I mean picture of the Moon's shadow speeping over the Earth's surface.

Have anybody an idea ?
