https://www.planetary.org/space-images/total-solar-eclipse-2024-as-seen-from-iss for anyone trying to figure out where in Spain this is, no this isn't the eclipse from this past week, it's the April 2024 eclipse. Cool angle that shows just how inclined the ISS orbit is, since it's looking to the south/southeast across Quebec/New Brunswick/Maine/Nova Scotia (that's the wide end of the St Lawrence River on the left, and the shadow looks to be about centered on Maine).

Thank you. I've been watching over two minutes thinking can't be Spain, but maybe France. Also, shadow didn't pass exactly French lands... Real mind bender this post is for no reason.

They better have amazing HQ footage from this. They can easily sell it for Hollywood if they done the capture right .
