Washington, DC - A black dot appears several times during the August 21, 2017 solar eclipse across the western coast to the east of the United States. Someone who managed to capture the moment is a photo editor NASA, Joel Kowsky, from Banner, Wyoming. After further observation, the black spot is NASA's International Space Station (ISS). Quoted from the AL, Tuesday (22/08/2017), NASA said that the ISS is moving at speeds of 29 thousand kilometers per hour. The International Space Station orbits the Earth three times during the solar eclipse. The astronauts who are on the ISS also immortalize the phenomenon through photos and videos from their perspective. NASA says, ISS is equipped with a number of cameras that allow astronauts to capture the Sun safely.  Total Solar Eclipse (GMT) August 21, 2017 is a rare phenomenon. The reason, it is the first time since 99 years GMT crossing from the west coast to the east of America. GMT crosses US from west to east and passes through 14 states, namely Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. Millions of US citizens witness and gaze at the phenomenon of space, especially for those who live on the track GMT. US space agency (NASA) reported that 4.4 million people watched their television broadcasts covering the phenomenon of the solar eclipse August 21, 2017 in the Land of Uncle Sam. The broadcast became the largest livestream event in NASA history. Astronomers are also very excited about the phenomenon. They are also happy with the positive animos shown by the community, regarding it as a 'inner closeness between the Earth and outer space'. "The last time people have such a close relationship with space like this, that is when the first human landing on the Moon in 1968. Eclipse, the landing of mankind on the Moon, and it shows that we are just a piece of something bigger," says NASA physicist Alex Young .
