Millions of North Americans witnessed the total solar eclipse on Monday
Billionaire Elon Musk was among the millions of North Americans who witnessed the first total solar eclipse to darken the continent in seven years on Monday.
"Was cool to see the eclipse from Austin. 27 years before it happens here again," he wrote on X.
Elon Musk also shared a video of the solar eclipsethat was shot by his aerospace company SpaceX's Starlink satellite from Earth's orbit.
In the 21-second video, the Moon's shadow was seen moving on Earth.
SpaceX's Starlink owns around 60% of the roughly 7,500 satellites orbiting Earth.
NASA also shared a video in which the total solar eclipse was seen from space.
The video showed the astronauts' view from the International Space Station.
According to NASA, the space station experienced a totality of about 90% during its flyover period.
NASA Flight Engineers Matthew Dominick and Jeanette Epps were orbiting 260 miles above southeastern Canada as the Moon's shadow moved on Earth.
Solar eclipse mania gripped North America on Monday as the breathtaking celestial spectacle captivated tens of millions of people.
The Moon's shadow plunged the Pacific coast of Mexico into total darkness at 18:07 GMT and then swept across the US, returning to the ocean over Canada's Atlantic coast just under an hour and a half after landfall.
According to NASA, the path of totality was 185 kilometers wide and home to nearly 32 million Americans.
