The Extreme UV View
The European Space Agency microsatellite Proba-2 took this great shot from space! Designed to look in the far-ultraviolet part of the spectrum, it sees magnetic activity on the Sun like sunspots, towering loops of ionized gas, and streamers reaching outward from the Sun's surface. Because Proba-2 orbits the Earth in less than 2 hours, it actually saw multiple eclipses, one for each time it passed into the Moon's shadow! This is a still image from just one. ESA put a video online showing them all, and it's amazing. Credit: ESA/ROB
