Solar Eclipse over Asia* This video was taken by the crew of Expedition 31 on board the International Space Station. The sequence of shots was taken from May 20, 2012 from 23:34:20 to 23:42:21 GMT, on a pass from the southern Sea of Okhotsk to the eastern Philippine Sea. In this video, the astronauts captured the shadow over eastern Asia from the Annular Solar Eclipse on May 20 and 21 of 2012. This shadow is so easily spotted due to the contrast colors on the heavy clouds. Image courtesy of the Image Science & Analysis Laboratory, NASA Johnson Space Center
