Desde el oeste de Estados Unidos hasta Brasil, cruzando gran parte de Centroamérica, miles de personas pudieron observar este sábado, con la protección necesaria, el “anillo de fuego” que dejó entrever la Luna a su paso por delante del Sol: un eclipse solar anular. Los cielos nublados impidieron disfrutar del espectáculo en muchos territorios, y en otros solo se pudo ver de forma parcial.
Así se ha visto desde el espacio
El Satélite Geoestacionario Operacional Ambiental (NOAA GOES) y el satélite Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) pendientes de la salud de la Tierra, el primero realizando tareas de observación climática y el segundo, desde el punto de Lagrange L1, observando los peligros del Sol sobre nuestro planeta, han sido testigos del evento astronómico del mes. A continuación puedes ver sus mejores capturas.

NOAA's GOES-East satellite is capturing the shadow of today's "ring of fire" solar eclipse as it traverses the Western United States.

Breathtaking imagery from space. pic.twitter.com/zHp0VGth10
A start-to-end view of today's #Eclipse, seen from 22,000 miles away by @NOAASatellites GOES-16 weather satellite.

Emerging at sunrise over the N. Pacific, the Moon's shadow speeds towards sunset over the S. Atlantic!
The video covers from 2pm until 8:30pm UTC. pic.twitter.com/7otsa5u3Xn
And a view with a slightly different colour correction, designed to highlight the land surface - looks pretty cool!

All satellite images like this are processed 'on the ground', as the raw data we get from the satellite is suited for science rather than nice images. pic.twitter.com/5MCyB9F8yT
This video, produced from pictures taken by the GOES-16 weather sat, shows today's #Eclipse moving across N America.

The video covers about 4 hours in total.
