The PROBA-3 Coronagraph and Occulter spacecraft fly in precise formation to create and observe an artificial solar eclipse in orbit.
Blue Ghost captured high-definition footage of a total solar eclipse from the lunar surface.
Blue Ghost survived a 500 degrees Fahrenheit temperature delta between lunar noon and a solar eclipse condition.
The new analysis states that the gravitational changes during a solar eclipse are similar in scale to routine tidal variations that occur with every new moon.
The new analysis reports that the partial solar eclipse over the Dolomites reduced available light by about 10.5 percent over roughly two hours.
Chiolerio et al. published a study interpreting trees' bioelectrical signals as evidence that the trees anticipated an approaching solar eclipse.
The new analysis reports that during the roughly two-hour eclipse window the level of sunlight was approximately twice the amount the trees could practically use for photosynthesis.
The new analysis states that ordinary variations in cloud cover at the study site routinely produce larger and more frequent swings in light quality and quantity than the eclipse did.
The eclipse observed over the Dolomites was the 53rd eclipse in the Saros 124 sequence, a family of eclipses that recur every 18 years, 11 days, and 8 hours.
The opinion article titled "Eclipse of reason: Debunking speculative anticipatory behavior in trees" appears in Trends in Plant Science.
The new analysis notes that each eclipse in a Saros sequence differs in path, magnitude, and duration, which undermines the idea that prior exposure could train trees to anticipate a specific future eclipse.
A new analysis published February 6 in Trends in Plant Science challenges the interpretation that trees anticipated the eclipse and proposes a simpler explanation rooted in established plant and atmospheric science.
Satellites that cycle into eclipse must carry sufficient battery capacity to maintain AI inference workloads through shadow periods, which shifts design optimization toward energy storage.
Geostationary Orbit (GEO) has zero atmospheric drag and near-continuous sunlight interrupted only by seasonal eclipse periods.
The second lunar eclipse of 2026 will be visible from North America, South America, Europe, and Africa and will not reach totality.
The partial solar eclipse on August 12, 2026, will be spectacular, as the moon will perfectly block the Sun for up to 2 minutes and 18 seconds.
An annular solar eclipse, known as the 'ring of fire', will occur on February 17, 2026, with the moon eclipsing up to 96% of the Sun for up to 2 minutes and 20 seconds.
The August 12, 2026, solar eclipse will be visible from eastern Greenland, western Iceland, and northern Spain, while all of Europe will experience a deep partial eclipse.
The March 2026 lunar eclipse will be visible from parts of Western North America, Australia, New Zealand, East Asia, and the Pacific.
A partial solar eclipse will be visible from Antarctica and parts of Southern Africa and Argentina.
