NASA has shared a breath-taking video of Monday\u2019s total solar eclipse, as viewed from the International Space Station. The solar eclipse swept across North America on Monday, leaving millions of viewers on the continent spellbound. The eclipse\u2019s path of totality stretched from Mazatl\u00e1n, Mexico to Newfoundland, an area that crosses 15 US states and is home to 44 million people. Viewers were engulfed in darkness during the celestial phenomenon. Most people in North America, even those not in the direct path, got to witness a partial solar eclipse, weather permitting. Astronauts onboard the International Space Station (ISS) also got to witness the solar eclipse. The ISS soared into the moon\u2019s shadow during the eclipse, said NASA. \u201cThe windows on the cupola, the orbital outpost\u2019s \u201cwindow to the world,\u201d were open and NASA Flight Engineers Matthew Dominick and Jeanette Epps were inside photographing and videotaping the Moon\u2019s shadow on Earth, or umbra, beneath them,\u201d said the American space agency.
