The shadow of the moon or umbra is cast across the United States seen from aboard the International Space Station August 21, 2017 in Earth Orbit. The space station crossed the path of the eclipse three times as it orbited above the continental United States at an altitude of 250 miles. The total eclipse swept across a narrow portion of the contiguous United States from Oregon to South Carolina and a partial solar eclipse was visible across the entire North American continent along with parts of South America, Africa, and Europe.
