НовостиВ США встретили «великое» солнечное затмение

21 августа жители США стали свидетелями «великого» солнечного затмения: тень от Луны прошла через 14 штатов от восточного до западного побережья и накрыла территорию размером 113 на 4,8 тысячи километров. В последний раз подобное случалось 99 лет назад. 

Today, the Sun disappeared, seemingly swallowed by our Moon–at least for a while. The August 21 solar eclipse cut through a swath of North America from coast to coast and those along the path of totality, that is where the Moon completely covered the Sun, were faced with a sight unseen in the U.S. in 99 years. Elsewhere across the country, many were able to view at least a partial eclipse. This series of images shows the progression of a partial solar eclipse near Banner, Wyoming.

Behold! This progression of the partial solar eclipse took place over Ross Lake, in Northern Cascades National Park, Washington on Monday, Aug. 21, 2017. A total solar eclipse swept across the path of totality, a narrow portion of the contiguous United States from Lincoln Beach, Oregon, to Charleston, South Carolina. A partial solar eclipse was visible across the entire North American continent along with parts of South America, Africa, and Europe.

Онлайн-трансляцию удивительного природного явления вело Американское космическое агентство NASA — желающих увидеть затмение было так много, что сайт не выдержал и трансляция прервалась.

In this video captured at 1,500 frames per second with a high-speed camera, the International Space Station (@ISS), with a crew of six onboard, is seen in silhouette as it transits the sun at roughly five miles per second during a partial solar eclipse, Monday, Aug. 21, 2017 near Banner, Wyoming. Onboard as part of the crew are: NASA astronauts Peggy Whitson, Jack Fischer (@Astro2Fish), and Randy Bresnik (@AstroKomrade); Russian cosmonauts Fyodor Yurchikhin and Sergey Ryazanskiy (@SergeyISS); and ESA (@EuropeanSpaceAgency) astronaut Paolo Nespoli (@Astro_Paolo).

По подсчётам NASA, затмение наблюдали около 500 миллионов человек во всём мире.

В том числе и Сара Джессика Паркер — её реакцию на природное явление можно оценить в инстаграме: «Боже, это происходит! Это самое красивое, что я видела в своей жизни! Самое прекрасное, зрелищное… и нелепое!» — кричит актриса.
