Here’s a breakdown of the key data from the provided text:
* Proba-3 Mission: This European Space Agency (ESA) mission is creating artificial solar eclipses too study the sun’s corona (outer atmosphere). It has observed at least 50 such eclipses so far and aims to collect hundreds more.
* The Corona Mystery: Scientists are trying to understand why the sun’s corona is so much hotter than the sun’s surface. The data from proba-3 could help solve this puzzle.
* CODEX Telescope: NASA’s CODEX telescope,mounted on the international Space Station,has also begun collecting images of the sun,revealing details of the sun’s outer atmosphere that haven’t been seen before.
* New Technology: Both proba-3 and CODEX represent new technologies that are advancing solar physics research.
