NASA’S Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the stunning double eclipse. It was also visible in parts of southern and central Africa.
The space agency said early Friday morning Earth completely eclipsed the sun from the satellite’s perspective just as the moon began its journey across the face of the sun.
Observers can tell the Earth and the moon apart by their edges: Earth’s is fuzzy, while the moon’s is sharp and distinct.
