Why This Recent Total Solar Eclipse Was the First of Its Kind

The Sun’s outer atmosphere—the corona—only reveals itself during total solar eclipses, which happen about every 18 months on Earth, and are only visible along a narrow path. These events offer scientists a rare opportunity to observe the Sun’s violent surface—but now, they won’t have to wait on the cosmos to do so. On Monday, June 16, the European Space Agency (ESA) announced that its Proba-3 mission created the world’s first artificial total solar eclipse. The mission’s two satellites, the O

Is gravity just entropy rising? Long-shot idea gets another look

He and others came up with several mechanical models, in which gravity was not a pull, but a push. For example, space might be filled with unseen particles that bombard the objects on all sides.
