It completely makes that impossible.
But as soon as you've got something in front of the sun you can see the corona and that's actually something you would be able to see if you are in totality.
And you can see for instance sunspots where it's slightly dipped or there's potential to see flaring
Yeah.
So that's hugely interesting for scientists to see, to the extent that there is actually an ESA mission called Proba 3 that is doing this effect artificially.
So they have two spacecraft orbiting Earth where one acts as the fake moon and the other one is the fake Earth and they observe the sun in that way.
So this is so useful for scientists that we've set up a whole bevy of telescopes in space who are trying to study this.
But this is one of the rare
opportunities were able to do it from it.
Absolutely.
And the corona is where we get a lot of the you know the solar radiation comes from, which we care hugely about here on Earth.
We call it space weather.
We get, you know, streams of charged particles coming off the sun and they can affect train lines and electricity networks and you know disrupt satellites.
So it's something that scientists are really trying to better understand is the activity of the sun's corona and maybe how we can better predict the activity.
And to do that, we have to understand the corona a lot better.
And so yeah, eclipses are an absolutely brilliant way to be able to study it from Earth.
Thanks so much, Ben.

That's right.
Some incredible structures that were built by ancient civilizations and hidden beneath the Amazon's canopy.
Yes, unfortunately, it's looking very, very sad.
