Good evening, Rallypoint. Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) is titled "Eclipse under the ISS." What does an eclipse look like from Space? We have an International Space Station (ISS), and so that's a good place to start. This image captured on June 21st by a high definition camera outside the ISS captured passing of the Moon's shadow near the border of Kazakhstan and China. In the foreground is the docked H-II Transfer Vehicle-9 from JAXA the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.

Albert on the Road; Musik: Van Morrison - Moondance, Moondance (1970)
Belated thank you my friend Maj William W. 'Bill' Price for posting the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) for Saturday, June 27, 2020 entitled Eclipse under the ISS."
Image: Eclipse under the ISS - Image Credit - NASA ISS Expedition 63
Very interesting perspective from the side of the International Space Station.
APOD background
"Explanation: The dark shadow of the New Moon reached out and touched planet Earth on June 21. A high definition camera outside the International Space Station captured its passing in this snapshot from low Earth orbit near the border of Kazakhstan and China. Of course those along the Moon's central shadow track below could watch the much anticipated annular eclipse of the Sun. In the foreground a cargo spacecraft is docked with the orbital outpost. It's the H-II Transfer Vehicle-9 from JAXA the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency."
