Breathtaking images: For the first time a solar eclipse so close – See photos

by

Stunning images of the partial solar eclipse from such close range were captured yesterday by NASA.

For the first time, a NASA satellite records a phenomenon of partial solar eclipse from a very close distance with the shots being breathtaking.

The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) photographed the moon passing in front of the sun yesterday with the passage lasting about 35 minutes and at its apogee, the moon covering 67 percent of the surface.

The spacecraft then released a series of images of the event showing “lunar mountains illuminated by solar fire”, experts point out at SpaceWeather.com.

On the surface of the moon that passed through the sun, there are even signs of bumps and irregularities.

SOLAR

It is noted that the sun has been showing increased motor activity for a few months now, heading towards the peak of its 11-year activity cycle, which started in 2019 and is expected to peak in 2025.

The sun’s magnetic poles overturn at the top of the solar activity cycle and a current coming from it, consisting of charged particles, carries the magnetic field away from its surface through the solar system.

This implies an increase in solar flares and mass ejections from the sun’s surface.
