Two spacecraft has achieved a rare milestone: regenerating the total solar moon eclipse in space. The European Space Agency (ESA) Proba 3 missions released the first photos on June 16 with a successful test where a satellite stopped sunlight, allowing the other to catch the outdoor environment, the outdoor environment. Unlike the eclipse on the ground, this artificial version offers long, frequent observations. “We can see the corona without any particular image processing,” said Andre Yokov, of Belgium’s Royal Observatory.
ESA’s Proba 3 spacecraft re -eclipse eclipse to study the sun’s million degrees Corona in extraordinary detail
According to ESA reports, the proba 3 spacecraft rotates the Earth on the elliptical route, which is up to 60,000 km at the end of the period. During the alignment, they float just 150 meters, one satellite puts on a valid shadow on the other. This method allows scientists to stop the sun’s bright radiant disk and see the unconscious, a million degrees Corona, which is 200 times hotter than the visible surface of the sun and can only be seen during total eclipse. The middle layer is the place where scientists think the answer can be found why this outer region is so hot.
So far, the twin satellite has completed nine test lunar eclipses, which aims to perform two performing two every week. Although the natural lunar eclipse only occurs in every 18 months and remains in the case of only one minute, the proba can produce a copy of the lunar eclipse every 20 hours and extend it for six hours. This ability provides scientists a unique opportunity to investigate the dynamic and magnetic activity of solar corona.
Puba 3 was taken from India on December 5 in orbit. Over the next two years, the spacecraft is expected to provide a thousand -hour eclipse data. This discovery not only makes it possible to observe regular solar behavior, but also helps increase the predictions of the solar weather needed to protect satellites and electrical grids.
ESA officials view it as a new era in helicopter, where man will fill the eclipse of the eclipse on earth through the rocky eclipse of the solar eclipse. With every orbit and eclipse, scientists close to solving the mystery of our star’s firearms.
