First artificial solar eclipse in space
Proba-3 artificially created what is normally a rare natural phenomenon: a total solar eclipse.
In a world first, ESA’s Proba-3 satellites flew in perfect formation, blocking the Sun’s bright disc to reveal its fiery corona. This enigmatic outer layer burns millions of degrees hotter than the Sun’s surface and drives the solar storms that can disrupt life on Earth.
With its first artificial eclipse, Proba-3 has captured detailed images of this mysterious region, offering scientists new insights into our star’s behaviour.

Bravo،great achievement
Wow! This is really a great achievement. Each day humans are doing something that was thought to be unnecessary or almost to think before
Well done ESA😄
Gratulujem ESA.
Great experiment 👍 👍 👍 fancy A 🌞 corona
Amazing. Well done ESA!
What's the difference between this and a simple coronagraph
Congrats ESA ! You are making us proud of being european ! Vous nous rendez fier d'être européen ! Per Apera Ad Astra 🇪🇺
There's a secret detector on the satellites working together. Stars go dark occasionally.
Wow, a video with audio in various languages?
Why… ? Focus at better world not at stunning images!
