Eclipse under the ISS Image Credit: [3]NASA [4]ISS Expedition 63 Explanation: The dark shadow of the New Moon reached out and touched planet Earth on June 21. A high definition camera outside the International Space Station captured its passing in [5]this snapshot from low Earth orbit near the border of Kazakhstan and China. [6]Of course those along the Moon's central shadow track below could watch the much anticipated [7]annular eclipse of the Sun. In the foreground a cargo spacecraft is docked with the orbital outpost.
