AmericaThe GOES-16 satellite recorded the moment the Moon partially obscured the Sun on April 30.
The first partial solar eclipse of 2022 took place on April 30 and astronomy lovers in some areas of South America, Antarctica, can observe the unique phenomenon. This field of view is quite narrow for anyone on Earth, but in space, the GOES-16 satellite of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has had a good viewing angle and recorded images. impressive.
GOES-16’s Solar Ultraviolet Camera (SUVI) is a telescope aimed at the Sun to monitor this star’s activity. It helps scientists to research and predict space weather events that may affect the Earth. GOES-16 can also observe the Sun in a variety of wavelengths. Luc Fontaine, a weather satellite expert, shared footage of the SUVI eclipse on Twitter on May 1.
There are two solar eclipses this year, and both are not total solar eclipses. This means that the Moon does not completely obscure the Sun, but only partially covers it and casts its shadow on the Earth. The second solar eclipse of 2022 will take place on October 25. Eclipse observers need to wear protective glasses because direct viewing can cause eye damage.
Satellites and spacecraft observing the Sun are continuing to be busy. This star is in the 25th Solar Cycle, which is the 25th period since official observations began in 1755. The strongest solar flare in about 5 years occurred on April 20.
