European Space Agency Launches Twin Satellites to Study the Sun’s Corona

The European Space Agency (ESA) has successfully launched two satellites, designed to work in tandem, on a mission to study the Sun’s corona, the outer atmosphere of the Sun. The Proba-3 mission will explore the Sun’s corona in unprecedented detail, using a novel formation-flying technique to create an artificial eclipse, allowing scientists to study the Sun’s outer atmosphere without the intense brightness of the Sun’s surface.
