Monday, the August 21st was not less than a big celebration in the United States as many enjoyed once in a lifetime opportunity of witnessing a solar eclipse. Passionate people from all over the world went there to experience the phenomena. While most of us was living the moment mesmerized and spellbinded, many took some truly unique images of the solar eclipse.
Well, of course not all of us are great photographers and that’s why we have space agencies. NASA and the European Space Agency were prepared to capture the eclipse as soon as it happens. They exploited their resources on the ground and in space to capture it and doing so in a remarkable fashion. Below are some of our favorite images from the great American Eclipse, that are just awesome and a must see.
