Eclipse of April 2024—Recorded by NOAA Weather Satellites

On eclipse day, I was exhausted from a long trip, so I stayed in Houston and went to work.  The whole area was clouded out.  However, live feeds of the event and NOAA satellite data were quite the show! Three cheers for NOAA satellites! Here's what I saw over Texas, the US, and Earth. Note that the center of the shadow, the umbra, is darker than the borders, the penumbra.
