Moon's Shadow Falls on Earth
This GOES 10 satellite image shows the shadow of the Moon as it crossed our location. The Moon's shadow first touched the Earth in the South Pacific then crossed northern South America, Aruba, the Caribbean Sea, and finally terminated in the Atlantic Ocean. You can go to the GOES 10 page for more images and animation of the shadow of the moon as it crossed the face of the earth.
