NASA has shared a remarkable image of the moon's shadow hovering over the Arctic during last month's solar eclipse that makes the celestial satellite look like a smudge on a page. .

The image, released on Wednesday, was taken June 10 and shows an 'epic' view of the moon's shadow during the solar eclipse, which was witnessed by millions around the world.

NASA has shared a remarkable image of the moon's shadow hovering over the Arctic during last month's solar eclipse that makes the celestial satellite look like a smudge on a page.

The next US solar eclipse will take place on April 8, 2024, passing from Texas to Maine.

The next total solar eclipse after that is on August 12, 2026, and will be seen from the Arctic, Greenland, Iceland, Spain and Northeastern Portugal. .

Between 2023 and 2038, the greatest number of total solar eclipses will take place in Australia.

The next total solar eclipse visible in the UK isn't until 2093. 

In June, skygazers in the UK and US were treated to a stunning partial solar eclipse which made the sun appear as a crescent in the morning sky

British and Irish observers saw a crescent sun instead of a ring, and in the US, viewers witnessed a partial eclipse at sunrise, another rare phenomenon

Meanwhile, a rare type of solar eclipse that created a 'ring of fire' cast a dramatic shadow over Russia and Canada.

The 'ring of fire' solar eclipse occurs when the Moon is at its furthest from Earth and is therefore too far away to completely cover the sun, leaving a ring of light

The ring of fire was best viewed from Qaanaaq, a town in Northwest Greenland, but was also visible across much of Canada and Russia

The spectacular eclipse is when a 'burning ring' appears in the Earth's sky
