Mimicking a Solar Eclipse in space
During a solar eclipse the Earth is plunged into darkness and the Sun’s ghostly atmosphere becomes visible. Scientists travel the globe to experience total solar eclipses, which occur for just a few minutes at a time every 18 months or so. But what exactly causes solar eclipses, and how do scientists try to make their own, including with ESA’s new Proba-3 mission?
Timestaps of the video:
00:00 – 00:32 – Intro
00:33 – 01:45 – How do solar eclipses happen?
01:46 – 02:45 – How do we know anything about the solar corona given that eclipses occur so rarely?
02:46 – 04:00 – How can we create a perfect artificial solar eclipse in space?

❤…Always i ❤ ESA
Great video, also its nice to see more studies based on Heliophysics in the last few years. I am sure this will have a huge impact on that field
eclipse de jupiter es cuando la luna tapa a jupiter.
eclipse del agujero negro sagitarius A es cuando el sol tapa al agujero negro sagitarius A
