NASA’s SDO recorded the peak of the solar eclipse in space

Date :

NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) often views the sun as the primary contributor to space weather or radiation that impacts Earth. Recently, it recorded an eclipse of the sun in space.

En juin 29, le Lune passes in front of the sun, producing a partial solar eclipse. During the 35-minute event, the Moon covered 67% of the soleil, and lunar mountains were backlit by solar fire.

As reported on spaceweather.com, Patricio Leon of Santiago, Chile, took a closer look at the mountains and identified them. They are part of the Leibnitz and Doerfel mountain ranges near the Moon’s south pole:
