Enjoy eclipse footage recorded by an Exploratorium team in Turkey on March 29, 2006. The moon's shadow fell on the earth, first darkening the eastern tip of Brazil, and then moved across the Atlantic Ocean to make landfall in Ghana, Africa. It continued moving northeast through Nigeria, Niger, Libya, Egypt, across the Mediterranean and into Turkey, where the Exploratorium team was waiting.
