This morning, the new Moon blocked out the sun, producing a magnificent total eclipse over Indonesia and the Pacific Ocean. Today’s edition of Spaceweather.com highlights the view from some unique vantage points–including the window of an Alaskan Airlines flight that diverted into the path of totality.  Also notable are satellite movies of the Moon’s cool shadow sweeping across the Pacific.
