Paris Mumbai: On April 8, the amazing and most beautiful natural sight of Khagras solar eclipse was seen in the infinite and vast sky. Can any human being on earth create such a solar eclipse in the vast sky?
Yes, India's space research organization Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and European Space Agency (ESA) are ready to create an artificial solar eclipse in space. The scientific experiment of creating artificial solar eclipse in space is being done for the first time in the whole world.
Astronomers and physicists exploratoryly study the strange and eerie activity in the Sun and its outer edge (called the corona) during natural eclipses. However, now, as ESA and ISRO are working together in the Sun's vast region of hydrogen and helium, a strange, unimaginable, strangely tenuous process is taking place. To understand the mystery of why the temperature of the outer edge of the corona is 10-20 lakh Kelvin compared to the temperature of the Sun's giant plate, a unique experiment of artificial solar eclipse will be conducted for the first time in space. 6,000 Kelvin).
ESA's Proba-3 spacecraft will be launched into space by ISRO's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV)-XL C62 in September 2024. Actually, Probo-3 spacecraft will carry two satellites. Proba-3 will operate in an elliptical orbit at a distance of 60,000 km from Earth.
ESA's Director of Technology, Engineering and Quality, Dietmar Pilz, and his team demonstrated pre-flight testing in front of the media earlier in the day at the Space Facility Center in Quebec, Belgium.
Dietmar Pilz told reporters that the main purpose of the Probo-3 experiment is to produce X-rays of the Sun's outer corona. That means, we will be able to get accurate information about how the mysterious activity is happening in Corona. Also useful information can be obtained from the terrible solar winds and solar flares caused by the mysterious activity of the Sun every 11 o'clock. Over the years, great sunspots are formed. Sunspots emit massive solar flares across space. It can destroy food by entering the Earth's atmosphere. This storm of the sun is called space weather in the language of astronomy.
Thus, when a total solar eclipse occurs, the three celestial bodies such as the Sun, the Moon and the Earth come in a line. However, the shadow of the smaller Moon falls on the Sun's surface, since the Sun's giant sphere is 400 times the size of the Moon, hence Shashi (the Sanskrit name for the Moon) cannot completely cover such a huge Sun. But that covers a part of it. During this process, the circular edge of the Sun, which astronomers call the corona, can be clearly seen.
For the first time in the history of space exploration, this unique experiment of cutting-edge technology will actually have two satellites, named Occulter and Coronagraph. These two satellites will not travel together in space. There will be a distance of 150 meters (300 feet) between the two. The plate-shaped occulter satellite will be in front and the coronagraph satellite will be behind it.
Giving technical information, European Space Agency's Probo-3 project manager Damian Galano said that our Proba-3 will have a scientific instrument which will be called Outer Coronagraph.
During this experiment, it is necessary to increase the distance between the two satellites to reduce the bending of the sun's rays (or light).
However, according to the current schedule, the secret satellite will serve as a small moon. That means Tantrik will cast its shadow on the telescope of another satellite coronagraph. This process will block sunlight. Say that the shining light of the sun will be blocked. As a result, the outer edge of the Sun's corona will appear blurry and can be imaged. In addition, ultraviolet rays emanating from the Sun and the colorful bands of aurora lights visible in both polar regions of the Earth can also be imaged.
This entire process or experiment is an artificial solar eclipse created in space. The special thing is that such an artificial solar eclipse can last for a long time.
Sources at the European Space Agency also hope that our experiment will enable a future generation of astronomers to float a flying telescope in space to explore the wonders and mysteries of the Sun and the vast expanse of space.
