Solar Eclipse Photos from space

Had to share these spectacular photos I saw online of the solar eclipse taken in outer space.


This image taken by the Hinode satellite shows the annular solar eclipse at its maximum on May 20, 2012.


This image, taken by the sun-watching Hinode satellite, was taken two minutes after the start of the annular solar eclipse on May 20, 2012.
