USA Experiences Total Solar Eclipse 2017

August 25, 2017 By James R

The United States saw its first total solar eclipse since 1979 on August 21, 2017, as the lunar event crossed the country with a wide path of totality from Oregon to South Carolina.
People across the country went outside to view the historic event with special glasses. NASA and scientists around the world used the occasion to collect data.

Only six people witnessed the umbra from space. Viewing the eclipse from orbit were NASA’s Randy Bresnik, Jack Fischer and Peggy Whitson, ESA’s Paolo Nespoli, and Roscosmos’ Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin and Sergey Ryazanskiy aboard the International Space Station. The station crossed the path of the eclipse three times as it orbited above the continental United States at an altitude of 250 miles. Image courtesy of NASA
