ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli took this picture during the total solar eclipse of the Sun over USA on 21 August 2017.
From their unique vantage point 400 km above Earth’s surface, astronauts aboard the International Space Station viewed three partial eclipses as the station traversed across the path of totality on its 90 minute-long orbits around the Earth. On one of the passes, they pictured the Moon’s fuzzy shadow on the surface of our planet.
