Animation of the eclipse shadow using the EPIC camera aboard the DSCOVR satellite. This satellite is located at one of the Earth’s Lagrangian points, a distance of 1.6 million km from the planet. The Earth turns below the camera, in contrast to geostationary satellites that remain fixed over a single point. Images: NASA.
