I'm an award-winning journalist writing about the night sky and eclipses.
A British satellite orbiting Earth has sent back stunning images in 4K quality of the total solar eclipse on April 8.—a company with one satellite in orbit, called ETV-A1—captured multiple views of the moon’s umbra, its dark central shadow, as it traveled 9,200 miles across the Earth ’s surface in three hours and 17 minutes.
That dark shadow is, on Earth, called the path of totality, which was around 115 miles wide as it crossed the planet. Everyone within that moving oval shadow experiencing totality—darkness in the day and the chance to see, in clear skies, the sun’s corona.Trump s First Criminal Trial Starts Today Here s Who Could Show Up And What To Watch For
Sen’s ETV-A1 is in low-Earth orbit, about 318 miles above Earth, and takes around 90 minutes to complete one orbit. It was launched into orbit on January 13, 2022, aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. It’s planned to be the first of many, with Sen planning a constellation of satellites from 2025.The company is expected to begin live-streaming views of Earth from the ISS this year.
