Yes , nice idea, Erwan  :)
Not sure but it could be a little bit bigger and the edges a little softer maybe.

Looks like Canada  ;D

lol.
Great work on this. It is Africa, though I am having difficulty finding north. (It's the end of my work week; I'm a bit frazzled.) The coastline is recognizable. I like the color shading very much. Softer shadows would look much better.

Lake Victoria is near the center of the image, partially in the eclipse path.
I'm rendering a new image to make everyone understand.

The only thing that comes to mind with your image, is that you shadow terminator is far to hard in your image and needs to be feathered and softened but that is the only thing that comes to mind at the moment, that issue aside I like you image.

Regards to you.

That looks great man! Congrats! It is Africa and I can almost see Angola at the bottom from the first image posted.
I was born there, so I know it does look like the African continent. Good job mate.

Just one smal observation though, does the lunar eclipse seem so small? I always thought it would cast a bigger darkened
shadow on the earth? The moon is actually about the size of North America so the shadow would be much bigger.
I know, I am not quite so sure yet, I have to search into NASA website files to check it out myself.
Good job tho! Very nice idea. I like it!

The moon is quite far away, so the shadow area is smaller than you would think. The softer shadow cast area is a bit larger I would think. But I have never seen a photo taken from space to confirm this.
