Watch the first artificial solar eclipse in history

Thanks to advanced technology, humans have for the first time actively created a solar eclipse in space without the need for the Moon.

On June 16 at the Paris Air Show, ESA released images of the first artificial solar eclipse created by two small satellites 150 meters apart during the Proba-3 mission. Photo: ESA.

The $210 million Proba-3 mission uses two satellites, one as a dish and one carrying a telescope, to synchronize their positions to the point of being off by the thickness of a fingernail. Photo: ESA.

Since March, Proba-3 has created 10 artificial eclipses, including one that lasted five hours – much longer than a natural eclipse. Photo: ESA.

The coronal images taken by Proba-3 are of very high quality without any complex processing, which has come as a big surprise to researchers. Photo: ESA.

The corona is a mysterious region with unusually high temperatures and is home to eruptions that could have a strong impact on Earth. Photo: ESA.

Separating the disk and telescope on the two satellites helps overcome the field of view limitation, allowing more detailed observations of the Sun's limb. Photo: ESA.

During its two-year operation, Proba-3 is expected to create around 200 artificial eclipses, opening up a huge data warehouse for space weather forecasting. Photo: ESA.
