NASA photographer Joel Kovski captured this photo of the total solar eclipse on Monday, April 8, 2024, from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis, Indiana. The total solar eclipse spanned a narrow swath of the North American continent from the Pacific coast of Mexico to the Atlantic coast of Newfoundland, Canada. A partial solar eclipse was observed across the entire North American continent, along with parts of Central America and Europe.
The photo team at NASA Headquarters selected this photo as one of the best photos of 2024. See more of last year’s top 100 on Flickr.
