ASTRONOMY-ECLIPSE-SPACE
An image released on January 16, 2010 by the Nasa Earth Observatory and acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA?s Aqua satellite saw the Moon's shadow falling on India and the Bay of Bengal during the annular eclipse on January 15. The shadow spanned a north-south distance of about 300 kilometers (185 miles) on the surface, with the darkest part near the mid-point of the span. Even in the darkest part of the shadow, clouds are so reflective that the small amount of sunlight escaping around the edge of the moon?s disk is enough to illuminate them for MODIS? view.
