Shadow of Moon Eclipse on Earth! Awesome Photos!

God not only enjoyS, but creates awe inspiring scenes in space!  Below are some pretty amazing photos!
Job 38:4-15 & 19-21, states questions God asks all of us, “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding. 
Who determined its measurements?  Surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it?
To what were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone,
When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
“Or who shut in the sea with doors, when it burst forth and issued from the womb;
When I made the clouds its garment, and thick darkness its swaddling band;
10 When I fixed My limit for it, and set bars and doors;
11 When I said, ‘This far you may come, but no farther, and here your proud waves must stop!’
12 “Have you commanded the morning since your days began, and caused the dawn to know its place,
13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, and the wicked be shaken out of it?
14 It takes on form like clay under a seal, and stands out like a garment.
15 From the wicked their light is withheld, and the upraised arm is broken. “Where is the way to the dwelling of light? and darkness, where is its place,
20 That you may take it to its territory, That you may know the paths to its home?
21 Do you know it, because you were born then, or because the number of your days is great?
Enjoy the pictures!

 This is an excellent article and pictures from The Dailly Mail:
When the eclipse left a trail of darkness across America last week, millions of people looked up to witness one of the most magnificent displays Nature can provide us with.
But a few observers were watching it from space - and they saw a different view, as the brilliant colours of Earth became punctured with a small black dimple.
A Japanese weather satellite, MTSAT, captured the shadow of the moon as it trailed across the North Pacific on Monday, May 20, on a rendezvous with the American continent.

While the shadow looks so tiny compared to the face of the Earth, don't be fooled into thinking the moon is just a tiny rock in the sky.

 
It is actually just over a quarter the size of the Earth, but its relative closeness to our planet - and the fact this was an annuar eclipse where the sun is not completely covered by the moon, makes the shadow seem like a glancing bruise on the face of our planet.
Skywatchers from Mount Fuji to the Grand Canyon enjoyed the treat of the moon nearly blotting out the sun to create a dramatic 'ring of fire' over a narrow strip of eastern Asia and the western United States.

The annular eclipse, in which the moon passes in front of the sun leaving only a golden ring around its edges, was visible in Asia early on Monday. May 20, before moving across the Pacific - and the international dateline.
It was then seen in parts of the western United States Sunday afternoon.
In Japan, 'eclipse tours' were arranged at schools and parks, on pleasure boats and even private airplanes. Similar events were held in China and Taiwan as well, with skywatchers warned to protect their eyes.
In the U.S., viewing parties were held at observatories in Reno, Nevada, and Oakland, California, and elsewhere. In some areas, special camera filters for taking photographs have been sold out for weeks in anticipation of the big event.
