Eclipse in space

Eclipse in space? what it looks like ..

Amazing moment! Space eclipse, when the Moon Passing in front of the Sun [PHOTOS]. Eclipse in space: NASA camera captured amazing moments when the Moon passes in front of the Sun. It looks a bit like someone has accidentally got their thumb caught in front of the lens when they took pictures of the Sun. But this extraordinary image shows the moon as it passes between the spacecraft and the sun - causes partial eclipse.

The first time for the NASA SDO (Solar Dynamics Observatory), the camera see the sun in extreme ultraviolet wavelengths of light as the dark moon began to pass in front of him. Tendrils of super-hot plasma - known as solar flares - can be seen reaching far into the sky. Plasma loops like this can heat up to 20 million degrees Celsius hot. Loop plasma light shooting out at the left of the image is about 860 000 miles.

These images are not only nice to look at, however. The scientists who monitor the SDO said most of the eclipse will prove useful to them in improving how the equipment works. Karel Schrijver of the Lockheed-Martin Solar and Astrophysics Lab said: "The sharp edge of the lunar limb allows us to measure the in-orbit characteristics such as telescopes, diffraction of light in optical and filter support networks.

"Once it is marked, we can use that information to correct our data for instrumental effects and sharpen the image for more detail." SDO provides better-than-HD quality views of the Sun at various wavelengths and has been responsible for some spectacular images of solar beacon that has emerged in recent months as the sun began a period of high activity. SDO slid from Cape Canaveral, Florida in February 2010 and will conduct a five-year mission at a cost of £ 550million. Spacecraft, orbiting 22,000 miles above the earth.
