🛰🌟The PROBA-3 coronograph ☀ ASPIICS, which we manage, captured its first image! 📸 This “stargazing”🌟 shot shows the accuracy of the spacecraft pointing. We are looking forward to the first solar corona images of this #eclipse maker as early as March! 🤩 🧪🔭#SolarPhysics

Proba-3 stargazing to warm up for corona observations
The European Space Agency’s Proba-3 mission will create artificial solar eclipses in orbit, allowing scientists to study the Sun’s corona for longer periods of time than would be possible during eclipses observed from Earth.www.esa.int
