I'm not sure itf it was the "first" one, but the first one that I ever saw was taken by one of the cosmonauts aboard the Russian MIR space station.
During a TOTAL solar eclipse, one can see the corona, the part that extends millions of miles out into space.
Astromomers, scientist who study space.
Helium was first discovered in space in 1868 through spectral analysis of sunlight during a solar eclipse. It was later discovered on Earth in 1895 through the analysis of a uranium ore.
That depends on what definition of first you mean. A solar system is in a galaxy and a galaxy is in space. So the solar system is smallest and space is largest.
There are several good sites. The first is the NASA eclipse web page at http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse.html. The "GSFC" part of the link stands for "Goddard Space Flight Center". Another is http://www.mreclipse.com. In fact, the same NASA astronomer who does a lot of the eclipse calculations runs the "Mr. Eclipse" site.
The corona on the Sun is the plasma aura that surrounds the Sun. It extends millions of kilometers into space and has extremely high temperatures.
An eclipse is when a object in space is fully or partially blocked from view temporarily by another object or its shadow. The term is typically used to refer to the moon blocking the sun, a solar eclipse, or the Earth's shadow blocking the moon, a lunar eclipse.
The first planet in our solar system is Mercury.
The eclipse gives scientists a chance to observe the atmosphere of the Sun, normally swamped by the brilliance of the Sun.
Energy radiated from the surface of the sun visible during a solar eclipse appears in the form of the corona, which is the outer atmosphere of the sun. This is a faint, glowing halo of plasma that extends millions of kilometers into space and is only visible during a total solar eclipse when the moon blocks the brighter light from the sun's surface.
To safely view a solar eclipse while wearing prescription glasses, you can use solar eclipse glasses over them. Make sure the solar eclipse glasses are ISO-certified and fit securely over your prescription glasses to protect your eyes from harmful solar radiation.
A solar eclipse of a Sun that was smaller but a Moon that is the same size and distance as our Moon would mean that eclipses would last longer, you would never get an annular eclipse, a larger area would experience each eclipse.
