Yesterday between 20:26 and 20:34 CEST, parts of the Iberian peninsula experienced a total solar eclipse. This animation, composed of images from the Meteosat Third Generation Imager satellite (MTG-I1), caught the Moonâs dark shadow as it passed over Earthâs surface, converging with the advancing twilight shadow as dusk fell over Europe.
From geostationary orbit, 36,000 km above Earth, MTG-I1 tracked the path of totality as it swept across Greenland, Iceland, Portugal and Spain.
