What a great Photo of The Day on the TAC website today!

A very nice shot of the shadow of the moon on Earth as seen from the
Mir space station during a solar eclipse.

Here is the URL to the photo if you missed it on the photo of the day.

This is something I had never thought of... what would an solar eclipse
look like from space? Guess I know the answer now.

Anyone else have or know where on the web I might find more pictures of
solar eclipses from space?

How about a picture of the moon from earth orbit when spacecraft is in
the shadow of the moon during eclipse. I assume that you would not see
the corona as you would be too close to the moon or would 200 miles up
make a difference?
