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.
