A striking image taken by the Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera shows the moon casting an enormous shadow over the U.S. during an annular eclipse on Saturday.
A new satellite image shows a seemingly vast portion of the United States shrouded in an expansive dark splotch. It is actually the moon, said NASA, casting a shadow over North America during an eclipse last weekend.The stunning picture was taken using the Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera, or 'EPIC,' which is on board the DSCOVR satellite.
an acronym for Deep Space Climate Observatory, was first launched into space in February 2015 through a partnership between NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the U.S. Air Force. It monitors solar wind patterns in real time and provides information that is integral to the timeliness and accuracy of NOAA's alerts and forecasts for space weather events, like geomagnetic storms.
