Explanation:
Where were you during the Great American Eclipse of 2017?
A year ago last week, over 100 million of people in
North America went outside to see a
partial eclipse of the Sun,
while over ten million drove across part of the
USA to see the Sun completely disappear behind the Moon -- a
total solar eclipse.
An estimated 88 percent of American adults saw the eclipse either personally or
electronically.
One of the
better
photographed events
in human history,
images from the eclipse
included
some
unusual vistas,
such as from balloons floating in the
Earth's stratosphere.
About fifty such robotic balloons were launched as part of NASA's
Eclipse Ballooning project.
Featured is a frame taken from a
360-degree panoramic video
captured by one such balloon set aloft in Idaho by
students
from
Brazil in conjunction with
NASA and
Montana State University.
Pictured, the dark
shadow of the Moon was
seen crossing the Earth below.
Although the total
eclipse lasted less than three minutes, many
who saw it may
remember
it for a lifetime.
Many North Americans will get a another chance to
experience a total solar eclipse in
2024.
