Total solar eclipse photos: NASA astronauts take historic images from space

Jamie Carter | Forbes You’ve seen the best photos of the total solar eclipse from the path of totality on April 8—now see them from space. From Earth, the passing of the moon across the sun revealed, during totality, the “hole in the sky” silhouette of our only natural satellite, with the sun’s shimmering corona around it. However, for space, the same event was viewed only as a dark shadow moving gradually across a continent. Astronauts on the International Space Station—in orbit 250 miles above Earth—captured views of the moon’s umbral shadow created by the total solar eclipse on April 8. Weather satellites also captured this image. READ THE FULL STORY AT FORBES

Watch Live: 2024 total solar eclipse darkens U.S. skies as totality begins in Texas

By Aliza Chasan, Sara Moniuszko, Luis Giraldo, Kerry Breen, Sarah Maddox | CBS NEWS/CBS Colorado The sky will darken for millions in the U.S. on Monday as the 2024 total solar eclipse arrives and works its way across a swath of the country.  A solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, casting a shadow that blocks out the light from the sun. The sun will appear to vanish behind the moon for minutes at a time as the eclipse travels along its "path of totality," starting on Mexico's Pacific Coast and moving northeast through more than a dozen states, from Texas to Maine, and into eastern Canada.  More than 31 million people live along the path of totality, and many more are flying or driving to witness the April ...

Huge crowds await a total solar eclipse in North America. Clouds may spoil the view

By Marcia Dunn | The Washington Times MESQUITE, Texas (AP) — Millions of spectators along a narrow corridor stretching from Mexico to the U.S. to Canada eagerly awaited Monday’s celestial sensation — a total eclipse of the sun — even as forecasters called for clouds. The best weather was expected at the tail end of the eclipse in Vermont and Maine, as well as New Brunswick and Newfoundland. It promised to be North America’s biggest eclipse crowd ever, thanks to the densely populated path and the lure of more than four minutes of midday darkness in Texas and other choice spots. Almost everyone in North America was guaranteed at least a partial eclipse, weather permitting. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Total solar eclipse causes one state to declare emergency in advance of phenomenon

By Jack Phillips | The Epoch Times Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb issued a statewide emergency due to a large influx of visitors to his state to view the total solar eclipse on April 8. The Republican official said that the number of visitors to Indiana may strain the state’s communications, transportation, and emergency response systems, warranting the need for the declaration. Indiana includes some of the best locations in the United States to see the eclipse, according to a map of the path of totality. “The massive number of people viewing this event in our state may well stress and/or interfere with first responder and public safety communications and emergency response systems such that a technological or other emergency may occur,” Mr. Holcomb said in a statement last week, addin...
