Yesterday, around 32 million Americans were lucky enough to see the total solar eclipse from Earth.
The rare event occurred as the moon moved directly between the sun and the Earth, resulting in some amazing photo opportunities.
But another select group of humans had a unique vantage point of the spectacle in full effect – around 260 miles above our planet.
Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) were able to film the moon’s shadow as it plunged the North American daytime into darkness.
In the clip, the 115-mile-wide shadow or ‘umbra’ can be seen moving northwards, from New York state into Newfoundland, Canada.
