SolarEclipse_Orbit [00:00:00.600] This shows how the Moon's shadow might appear [00:00:04.260] from a spacecraft in Earth orbit. [00:00:07.160] This sequence is based on actual previous space-based photography. [00:00:12.840] The moon's shadow isn't just a sharp dark spot [00:00:16.360] but has shading as the penumbra darkens to umbra at the center. [00:00:22.940] Since the spacecraft is in the penumbra, [00:00:26.120] the sun is only partially covered by the moon. [00:00:30.000]
