  • Two solar eclipses for Proba-2

    Two solar eclipses for Proba-2

    As Europe enjoyed a partial solar eclipse on the morning of Friday 20 March 2015, ESA’s Sun-watching Proba-2 minisatellite had a ringside seat from space. Orbiting Earth once approximately every 100 minutes, Proba-2 caught two eclipses over the course of the morning.

    Proba-2 used its SWAP imager to capture the Moon passing in front of the Sun. SWAP views the solar disc at extreme ultraviolet wavelengths to capture the turbulent surface of the Sun and its swirling corona.

    Sie haben die Größe einer Waschmaschine, doch sie beschaffen wertvolle Informationen bei der Beobachtung der Erde und der Sonne. Die Rede ist von Mikrosatelliten mit dem Namen Proba.
