The August 21, 2017 Solar Eclipse

This movie shows the first total solar eclipse visible from the United States in the 21st century. The path of totality goes through the states of Washington, Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Missouri, Tennessee, and South Carolina. In this movie we view the eclipse from the moon looking back at the earth. The small black dot is the center of the earth's shadow (total eclipse) and the larger dark circle is the outer shadow (partial eclipse).
