Watch the ‘Ring of Fire’ eclipse unfold from space in new epic images from NASA
On October 25, the moon’s shadow passed in front of the sun in the last partial solar eclipse of 2022. Sky watchers in Europe, the Middle East, parts of Africa and Asia have seen between 15% and 85% of the sun’s surface. Obscured by the moon, resulting in some Eclipse views are really scary In the pre-Halloween sky. As for the rest of the world? Nothing to see, but the sun was moderately bright secretly smiling at us With its chaotic magnetic activity.
If you’re one of the earthlings who missed the eclipse, NASA has you covered. Using data from the Hinode satellite – a solar observatory operated by space agencies in the US, Japan, UK and Europe – NASA shared a video of the eclipse as seen from space. You can watch it now – and see the entire eclipse unfold in just 30 seconds – up or over NASA website.
As Hinode revolves in orbit a land, took three different views of the eclipse in about three hours. Through the Hinode X-ray telescope, the moon It appears completely black, while the sun shines bright red in the background.

Unlike the view from Earth, Hinode’s orbital observation point allowed him to see not only a partial eclipse, but also an annular eclipse – that is, an eclipse in which the Moon covers the center from the Sun, allowing only a thin ring of fire. Peek around the edges. (This ring of fire is also called the ring, which comes from the Latin word for “little ring.”)
Those who cannot wait to see an annular eclipse from Earth have only to wait another year; The next show will be viewable on October 13, 2023 to viewers in the western United States, as well as parts of Central America, Colombia and Brazil, according to Timeanddate.com.
Hinode satellite was launched from Japan in September 2006. The main mission of the satellite is to study magnetic fieldIn order to understand the mechanisms behind large solar flares such as solar flares and coronal mass emissions, according to NASA.
