International Space Station, 230 miles above the
planet, during a total solar eclipse at about 4:50
a.m. CST Wednesday, March 29. This digital photo was
taken by the Expedition 12 crew, Commander Bill
McArthur and Flight Engineer Valery Tokarev, who are
wrapping up a six-month mission on the complex. Part
of the Mediterranean Sea can be seen outside the
shadow.
