For those who missed the solar eclipse this week, a NASA satellite just released a video and a series of images for those who are living in North America as the eclipse was only visible to Indonesia and parts of Southeast Asia. The eclipse lasts for four minutes showing the mysterious cosmic beauty of the moon and the sun's totality. This is also the only total solar eclipse for 2016.

The images were taken by NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) which is the onboard camera of the NOAA Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) spacecraft.

On Tuesday, millions witnessed this rare event across the Pacific, as the moon's orbit blocked the sun's rays, casting a chilling, dark shadow on the planet. This total solar eclipse was mostly visible in Indonesia specifically in the island of Belitung, as hundreds of people including tourists from Europe and Australia flocked together on Olivier beach to witness this lunar transit.

For those who were not able to view this stunning eclipse, the entire celestial event can be seen on NASA TV, with this new high definition video.

The clip begins when the moon enters the sun's regions as it blocked all its rays. The total eclipse lasted for four minutes as the sun's corona leaked out on the edges of the moon, making it appear like a huge black fireball. After a few minutes, the moon begins to move again, revealing the warmth of sunshine on the planet.

Witnesses say that when the moon slowly inched in front of the solar giant, they were overwhelmed with a feeling of calm and tranquility as there were no sound heard along the beach, as most tourists are apparently veteran solar eclipse chasers. 

During the first part of the eclipse, locals and tourists were cheering however, the crowd suddenly fell silent when they began to see this special celestial event unravel in front of them. Many attempted to take photos where others just simply stood and watched with awe, as the total solar eclipse revealed itself. After the event, people clapped quietly as the moon began to slither away from the sun's majestic light.

Apart from people in this beach island in Indonesia, passengers onboard the Alaska Airlines Flight 870 were lucky enough to catch a great view of the total solar eclipse in mid air, some 7,000 feet above the surface of Earth.

The flight took off from Anchorage, Alaska that is bound for Honolulu in Hawaii, where it was also delayed for 25 minutes when an astronomer Joe Rao, discovered that a total solar eclipse was about to coincide with the path of the plane. Fortunately, Alaska Airlines changed their flight schedule to accommodate this eclipse, for passengers to witness this incredible cosmic event in mid air. Watch the total solar eclipse from Alaska Airlines' view here.
