Witness the final solar eclipse of 2022 and watch the moon's shadow creep eerily across Earth.
The European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (Eumetsat) operates satellites that acquired footage of today's partial solar eclipse in which the moon threw its shadow upon the Earth (Oct. 25).
The Meteosat satellites, which are in geostationary orbit and are tasked with delivering weather data to aid in forecasting and long-term forecasts of climate change, were able to provide at least three views of the unsettling footage.
'Can you notice the shifting dark spot near the top of the video, especially on the right side? That shadow is it 'Simon Proud, a senior scientist at RAL Space and the National Centre for Earth Observation in the United Kingdom, tweeted (a part of the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.)
More imagery from Meteosat-9, one of the three functioning satellites, was supplied by Proud later in the day (along with Meteosats-10 and -11.)
You can see the moon's shadow travelling from left to right until it eventually combines with the dusk of sunset, the author stated.
More images from the satellite were supplied by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the United States, which noted that Meteosat-11 is a companion satellite to its own fleet of meteorological observers.
The moon's shadow can be seen moving across the North Atlantic and Europe before crossing Asia in this #GeoColor image, according to NOAA.
Despite the fact that this was the last solar eclipse of 2022, there are still more eclipse events planned for this year. The final lunar eclipse of the year will occur on November 8, 2022.
