Portions of Africa, Europe and Asia enjoyed a (partial/whole) solar eclipse today, and Space.com has the pictures. From that same page, a spectacular picture what a solar eclipse looks like from the great void (original pictures over at NASA).
I find it fascinating to know that thanks to space exploration we’re able to see, understand and explain what exactly a solar eclipse is. Over two thousand years ago (which is not long ago, if you put that on an evolutionary timescale), people asserted divine powers to these astronomical events.
