🔭 Until now, observing the inner regions of the Sun’s enigmatic atmosphere – the corona – was close to impossible.

Breaking space news: We have made our own solar eclipse in space! 🌘
Today, we release the first images from our Proba-3 mission, which flies two spacecraft in precise formation to create artificial solar eclipses in orbit.
Using a powerful instrument called a coronagraph, Proba-3 lets us observe the Sun’s corona, its ultra-hot outer atmosphere, helping us to understand space weather in ways we can’t from Earth.
