We found many such images of heavenly bodies in the same Instagram account. We also found that this account educates interested ones about astronomy and science through photography and news-media. 

After this we ran a search on a website to detect if an image is an AI generated or a real image. We found that the viral image is probably 94% AI. 

Conclusion: 

Fact Crescendo found that the viral image of the solar eclipse was generated using AI. This is not a real image of the recent total solar eclipse.
