A pair of satellites astronomers hope can create an artificial eclipse were launched from a site in India last week. In addition to conducting this experimental maneuver, the so-called ESA's Proba-3 mission will observe a slice of the Sun's ethereal corona difficult to perceive from Earth. The larger one, known as the Coronagraph spacecraft, will explore the Sun’s corona, or …
The Indian Space Research Organisation is set to launch Europe's Proba-3 mission, a pioneering project that employs two spacecraft working in tandem to study the Sun's corona and measure its energy output with unprecedented precision. The Occulter will position itself between the Coronagraph and the Sun, creating an artificial eclipse that allows the Coronagraph to observe the Sun's faint corona, …
Millions of people had recently travelled from far to experience the total solar eclipse in the regions where it would be visible. The European Space Agency will create an artificial eclipse via these two satellites in order to better predict geomagnetic solar storms. The ESA will create an artificial eclipse via these two satellites in a bid to study the …
