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.

Hi Val, Sorry You were clouded out. I just came here to see if you had taken any images.
Here outside of Philly the clouds started to roll in 15 minutes after 1st contact. We had about 89% disk coverage here. I'll post some photos later.

I just took a cell phone image that is not worth publishing. Too many clouds. I will look forward to what you took!
