By now, you've probably seen more than a few stunning pictures of Monday's solar eclipse, a special treat even if you weren't lucky enough to see it yourself from the path of totality. For some people, though, it wasn't enough just to look up. The overachievers among eclipse viewers flew through the air, skied down mountains and made use of their favorite snack cracker. We've compiled a collection of amazing and unique views you may have missed. Here they are, as seen from space, the ground and the air between. One of Space X's Starlink satellites recorded this video of the eclipse from orbit. This view comes from the Sen satellite. The solar eclipse as seen from a flight taking off from the Brantford Flight Centre in Brantford, Ontario. Katherine Summers and Jamie Crosbie, of the Brantford Flight Centre, took to the air on Monday to enjoy the eclipse and shared these images with The Expositor.

Finale One last offering from the total solar eclipse of 2024. Love hearing everyone's story from where they watched and for 4 minutes in totality, we all stood incredulous at this amazing moment in nature. Definitely one of the most memorable photographic moments of my life. pic.twitter.com/QbpJkwyP6p "One of the most incredible things I've witnessed!" Max Thiele, who watched the eclipse from the top of Maine's Sugarloaf Mountain, said on X. The eclipse unfolds while Mike Hayes skis down a Vermont mountain wearing a GoPro camera. A view of the eclipse progression from Cataract Falls in Indiana, about 50 miles southwest of Indianapolis. My other goal for the eclipse was to get a progression photo with a nice foreground, so I googled "most beautiful places in Indiana" and it led me here pic.twitter.com/rGL4LHVk9S Progressive Field, home to the Cleveland Guardians, hosted a viewing event with a superb view of the spectacle. The view from inside a cave in Ozark National Forest in Arkansas stands out as one of the more creative vantage points. This image of the eclipse projected through a snack cracker now has more than 2.8 million views on X.
