Eclipse Caught on Tape

We have posted about this before, but the Japanese Meteorological Agency has a satellite in a Geostationary orbit that is parked over Japan and Australia. It takes some pretty cool images. Here is what it caught yesterday, this video may be useful to show those who have a hard time understanding why only a few people on earth get to see a solar eclipse each time it happens.

This isn't a high-res video unlike our previous post, but I hope you enjoy anyway! The US also has a NOAA weather satellite they launched last year that takes similar pictures. The DSCOVR satellite is in a sun-synchronous orbit and will probably show us a similar view, but those images are posted 3-4 days after they are taken, so we have to wait a little longer for them.
