Total Solar Eclipse as seen by #DSCOVR (Deep Space Climate Observatory) spacecraft before landing on Mexico, unfortunately just before LOS Sternwarte Bochum at 18:50 UTC. Thanks to Aang254 and #SatDump .

About 500 residents. Spoke to several locals and they were so welcoming. Thank you for your hospitality!

I’m happy. My son and I had an experience we will have forever. 🇺🇸
