Those astronauts have all the fun. While I was sleeping (force of habit) this morning there was a solar eclipse. While part of the world was experiencing the moon’s shadow as it occulted the Sun in one of the remarkable moves of the celestial dance I was experiencing the typical shadow I get every night when the Earth passes between me and the Sun.
The inhabitants of the International Space station, however, got to see this view of the moon’s shadow from space (this and other neat stuff in a recent post from Robert Scoble).
I did see the eclipse later in the day. Check it out from Side, Turkey (located between the leg and wing). May 29, 2006 Eclipse
And so goes Sun-Earth Day 2006
