With its high-resolution space photos, NASA captures the attention of interested parties. Finally, a solar-observing spacecraft caught the Moon passing in front of the sun on Wednesday, June 29. This natural phenomenon, which can only be seen from the place where the observatory is located 35 thousand kilometers above the Earth, attracted a lot of attention.
The Moon covered 67 percent of the Sun
Following the weather events in space, SpaceWeather made a statement about this event. According to the statement, the Moon covered 67 percent of the Sun. These images were recorded by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO).
“SDO is investigating how solar activity is created and affects space weather. NASA spacecraft measurements of the Sun’s interior, atmosphere, magnetic field, and energy output help us understand the star we live with.”
Recording the 35-minute natural event, SDO was jointly developed by NASA and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The spacecraft, launched in 2010, is helping experts thanks to the solar eclipse event. Thanks to these images, experts examine the Sun more closely. In particular, NASA commissioned several vehicles for the solar observation mission. The reason for this is to gain a better understanding of the Sun’s context on the planet and to explore its superheated outer region.
Every 11 years, this star completes its stormy or calm cycle, starting a new one. In 2019, the Sun is reported to have entered its 25th cycle. Astronomers, on the other hand, say that the explosions on the Sun will increase and reach their peak in a few years. This is because the Sun is currently in its most active phase.
The closest solar eclipse that can be seen from Earth will take place on October 25. It will be possible to see the eclipse from both Europe and Asia.
