Eclipsed Earth ~ NASA's Picture of the Day!

NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day totally delights!
"Here is what the Earth looks like during a solar eclipse. The shadow of the Moon can be seen darkening part of Earth. This shadow moved across the Earth at nearly 2000 kilometers per hour. Only observers near the center of the dark circle see a total solar eclipse -- others see a partial eclipse where only part of the Sun appears blocked by the Moon."
