Solar Eclipse seen by DSCOVR Observatory
From a million miles out in space, NASA�s Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) captured 12 natural color images of the moon�s shadow crossing over North America on Aug. 21, 2017. EPIC is aboard NOAA�s Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR), where it photographs the full sunlit side of Earth every day, giving it a unique view of total solar eclipses. EPIC normally takes about 20 to 22 images of Earth per day, so this animation appears to speed up the progression of the eclipse.
