Shadow of the Moon

Shadow of the Moon


On March 20th, 2015, the Moon’s shadow will create a total solar eclipse. This NASA video presents several visualizations of what this shadow would look like from space, and highlights the areas of the world in the path of the umbra and penumbra. The visualizations were created by calculating the position of the Earth, Moon, and Sun on this date, and by using Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter global photo mosaics and elevation maps.
