Two spacecraft created their first images of an artificial solar eclipse
The Proba-3 mission focuses on the corona, the sun’s mysterious outer atmosphere
Two spacecraft created an artificial total solar eclipse on May 23, one of their early attempts. One craft blocks the other’s view of the sun, resulting in images (one shown in visible light) of the corona, the outermost region of the sun’s atmosphere.
