Proba-3 artificially created what is normally a rare natural phenomenon: a total solar eclipse.
Today, the European Space Agency’s Proba-3 mission unveils its first images of the Sun’s outer atmosphere – the solar corona. The mission’s two satellites, able to fly as a single spacecraft thanks to a suite of onboard positioning technologies, have succeeded in creating their first ‘artificial total solar eclipse’ in orbit. The resulting coronal images demonstrate the potential of formation flying technologies, while delivering invaluable scientific data that will improve our understanding of the Sun and its enigmatic atmosphere.

The M-class flare was accompanied by a coronal mass ejection currently forecast to land Earth with a glancing blow on June 18.
Dark matter "lampshades" could slip between Earth and distant stars, causing tiny amounts of dimming that may help explain one of the greatest puzzles in science.
The view of our home galaxy lit up the night sky at the U.S. National Science Foundation's Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona.
Rapid bursts of energy that last milliseconds but emit as much energy as the sun does in decades are helping astronomers pierce the cosmic fog between galaxies to find the universe's missing matter.
Amazon's Kuiper 2 mission is set to lift off on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket today (June 16), and you can watch the launch live online.

It’s round two for both United Launch Alliance and its customer, Amazon. Monday, June 16, will be ULA’s second Atlas 5 launch of the year and the second batch of Amazon’s Project Kuiper satellites launched to date.
We love the design of the Juzihao Star Projector, but despite its size, its projections don't have the biggest reach.
The search for life beyond Earth is a holy grail quest for many experts, but finding where to look is a core issue.
The film shows never-before-seen footage taken by the JWST film crew as the telescope was being assembled.
"It's like looking for candlelight in close vicinity to a flashlight that's blazing toward us."
Scientists using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have made an exciting discovery about the early universe. They found dozens of small galaxies that played a huge role in transforming our cosmos from a dark, foggy place into the bright, clear universe we see today.
Solar sails represent one of the most elegant concepts in space exploration: using sunlight itself to propel spacecraft through the cosmos without any fuel. But these thin, light giants face a stubborn engineering challenge that has plagued missions since their inception; keeping control while riding the solar wind.
Thanks to observatories like the venerable Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and its next-generation cousin, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers are finally getting the chance to study galaxies that existed just one billion years after the Big Bang. This period is known as "Cosmic Dawn" because it was during this period that the first stars formed and came together to create the first galaxies in the Universe. The study of these galaxies has revealed some surprising and fascinating things that are allowing astronomers to learn how large-scale structures in the Universe came to be and how they've evolved since.
It might come from a long time ago, but Cosmic Encounter is still one of the greatest board games in the galaxy.
11 bit studios' sci-fi adventure makes you team leader and asks you to balance base-building, survival, branching narratives, and keeping your team motivated.
On Episode 165 of This Week In Space, Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik talk with NASA astronaut Nick Hague, the first U.S. Space Force Guardian to launch to the International Space Station in that role.
Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin has revealed the six people who will fly on the company's 13th space tourism mission, though a launch date has not yet been announced.
