How 2 European satellites created the first artificial solar eclipse

A pair of European satellites, named Occulter and Coronagraph, have created an artificial total solar eclipse in space by flying in a precise formation. This mission, titled Proba-3, will provide scientists with information to better understand the sun and its corona

This image provided by the European Space Agency shows the Sun’s corona captured by the Proba-3 pair of spacecraft, in the visible light spectrum, with the hair-like structures revealed using a specialised image processing algorithm. AP
