Headline: Tournament Earth 2020: Best Picture Of NASA Earth Observatory Contest - An EPIC Eclipse

Caption: The DSCOVR satellite captured the shadow of the Moon marching across Earth’s sunlit face. In this, the only total solar eclipse of 2016, the shadow of the new Moon starts crossing the Indian Ocean and marches past Indonesia and Australia into the open waters and islands of Oceania (Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia) and the Pacific Ocean. Note how the shadow moves in the same direction as Earth rotates. The bright spot in the center of each disk is sunglint—the reflection of sunlight directly back at the EPIC camera.
