An EPIC eclipse view, indeed! 馃寧馃敪
One year ago today, NASA鈥檚 Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera, or EPIC, captured this footage of the April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse. From its vantage point on the DSCOVR satellite roughly 1 million miles away from Earth, EPIC reveals the impressive scale of the Moon鈥檚 shadow: It stretched 115 miles across and raced across the U.S. at over 2,000 miles an hour.
