โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒ‘ On Feb 17, there was an annular #solareclipse visible only from Antarcticaโ€ฆ and from space!
๐Ÿคฉ The SWAP instrument onboard PROBA-2 saw not one, but 4 #eclipses on this day. With this rare sight!

The only genuine image of the 2026 annular #SolarEclipse I've seen so far - and at an extremely short wavelength of only 17 nanometers, from the Proba 2 satellite: https://proba2.sidc.be/Eclipse17February2026 (which sees the solar corona in emission, so the Sun doesn't have a sharply defined edge).
