On October 14, 2023, the Moon aligned with the Sun and Earth to produce an annular solar eclipse. The spectacle bathed millions of Americans in a lunar shadow as the Moon blocked the Sun\u2019s rays. The above image was acquired during the eclipse by NASA\u2019s Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera imager aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory, a joint NASA, NOAA, and U.S. Air Force satellite.<\/div>\n

NASA\u2019s Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera<\/a> aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory<\/a> (DSCOVR) captured the lunar shadow during the Oct. 14 annular solar eclipse. The sensor provides frequent global views of Earth from its position at\u00a0Lagrange Point 1<\/a>, a gravitationally stable point between the Sun and Earth about 1.5 million kilometers from Earth.<\/p>\n

DSCOVR is a space weather station that monitors changes in the solar wind, providing space weather alerts and forecasts for geomagnetic storms that could disrupt power grids, satellites, telecommunications, aviation and GPS.<\/p>\n
