Casting A Long Shadow
A 310-mile (500km) shadow falls over Antarctica during a total solar eclipse on November 23, 2003, in this photo from the MODIS instrument on the Aqua satellite. The sun typically hangs low on the horizon during the southernmost continent's almost-summer months, so when the moon moved between the sun and the Earth its shadow fell in a long oval.
