Description
I thought it would be nice to see a movie of the eclipse from 20 March 2015, as seen from space.
The view point is located on orbit, at 40 deg N latitude, 20 deg longitude. Each frame is 10 minutes in real-time, starting from 7 AM to 12 AM, GMT.
I made the rendering with the fabulous xplanet program by Nati Meir (open source, free), the time calculation of animation in a BASH script, animation frames put together in GNU-GIMP and optimized it with gifsicle. I made some modifications of bump & specular maps of the globe (see the borders of the countries, in the full view).
