SUMMARY: The Moon passed in front of the Sun on March 29, 2006, right on schedule, and skywatchers across Africa, the Middle East and Asia were treated to a total solar eclipse. But astronauts on board the International Space Station got to see the eclipse from a unique perspective: from space. They saw the Moon obscure the Sun, but they could also see the Moon's shadow darkening the Earth below them.

Hello,

I just wanted to mention that there is, or has been in the past, a very good satelite image of the moons shadow during the eclipse that was total across Baja California. The weather satelite captured a smoothe transit of the shadow across the tip of Baja. I saw the movie on the weather chanel the day it happend, and I have been looking for that movie ever since.

Here is a very short, half-second, GOES-7 movie of the Baja eclipse 1991. I don't know if it's the same as what you saw.

Edit: Forgot to credit the site: John and Katie's web production for ThinkQuest competition 1997

That ISS picture of the moon's shadow on Earth gave me the Independence Day creeps, for some reason...
