Watching the moon's shadow
Eclipse may help probe atmosphere
Update: February 27, 1998:We have replaced yesterday's
54-frame animated GIF with a smaller (11-frame, 80K) compilation using just
the images where the eclipse shadow was visible (as opposed to everything
during the eclipse). The sequence runs from 18:40:27 to 18:53:19 UT.
We have also replaced the larger, full-frame (300x300-pixel) animation with a 200K sequence of the same frames. You can obtain individual frames from the UVI image files at ftp://uvisun.msfc.nasa.gov/pub/nrt/day057/.
Click on the image below for a quick guide to what you are seeing in the images.
In addition, we have putprint copies of UVI images on line. This
page provides a single large JPG with the 10 best eclipse shadow images
plus a timeline page depicting where they were taken and an annotated image
labeling major features.
At right is a GOES-8 geostationary
weather satellite picture of the world as the eclipse shadow moved across
Central America at 1744 UT; it links to a 300x273,
96-pixel GIF. If you are ambitious and want more the details, click
here for a 900x819-pixel, 350K JPG.
