Double eclipse for Proba-3

By now, you must have seen the amazing images of the total eclipse that occurred last week. However, did you know this total eclipse was also seen from space?

When a total eclipse occurs on Earth, solar imagers in space usually only observe a partial eclipse, due to a different alignment between the Sun, the Moon and the spacecraft. However, on August 12, the ASPIICS coronagraph onboard Proba-3 was in just the right place at the right time!
