This solar eclipse was created by 2 satellites flying in formation, allowing astronomers to photograph the Sun’s corona.

During a solar eclipse, astronomers who study heliophysics are able to study the sun's corona—its outer atmosphere—in ways they are unable to do at any other time.

In a groundbreaking mission led by the European Space Agency (ESA), two spacecraft have flown in an incredibly precise formation to imitate a solar eclipse. This innovative approach not only provides ...
