Two satellites have delicately pulled off an artificial solar eclipse, giving scientists a new look at the Sun's outer atmosphere.

The satellites fly 492 feet (150 meters) apart. One satellite blocks the sun, mimicking the moon's role in a natural solar eclipse. The other satellite then focuses its telescope on the corona, the ...

Two spacecraft flew 150 metres apart while perfectly aligned for several hours, enabling them to create the total solar eclipses in orbit.
