On April 8, 2024, as the moon's shadow moves silently and awe-inspiring through North America, countless eyes turn to the sky to witness the celestial spectacle of a total solar eclipse. Among these observers are highly skilled photographers and scientists from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), equipped with the latest imaging technology to capture the astonishing details of this astronomical event from a vantage point. Here, we'll present some of the best photos taken by NASA for the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse.

On April 8, a total solar eclipse swept across North America, instantly obscuring the sun and plunging parts of the North American continent into darkness. Geostationary satellites, orbiting 36,000 kilometers away, captured images of this rare celestial phenomenon.
The images, taken by the Geostationary Operational Environment Satellite (GOES-16), captured the moon's shadow across North America from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET (16 p.m. to 11 p.m. CET).
