The European Space Agency (ESA) has launched two satellites on a mission to study the Sun’s corona by temporarily blocking its light. The satellites, part of the ESA’s Solar Obstruction Mission (SOM), will use a novel technique to create an artificial solar eclipse, allowing scientists to study the Sun’s outer atmosphere in unprecedented detail.

European Space Agency Launches Twin Satellites to Study the Sun’s Corona
The European Space Agency (ESA) has successfully launched two satellites, Euclid and JUICE, on a mission to explore the Sun’s corona and gain a deeper understanding of the Sun’s impact on the solar system. The twin satellites will work in tandem to study the Sun’s outer atmosphere and its effects on the solar wind.
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.
Europe’s Solar Shadow Mission: Twin Satellites Embark on a Journey to Study the Sun
The European Space Agency (ESA) has successfully launched two satellites on a mission to study the Sun’s corona, a region that has puzzled scientists for centuries. The Solar Shadow Mission aims to investigate the Sun’s outer atmosphere, its effects on the solar system, and the impact of solar activity on Earth’s climate.
