On June 1st, a partial eclipse of the Sun became visible across northern
latitudes - and also from Earth orbit.
Between 2040 and 2246 GMT, ESA's Proba-2 micro-satellite twice crossed the
path of the lunar shadow to return views of the partial solar eclipse.
Proba-2's main SWAP (Sun Watcher using APS detectors and imaging processing) instrument acquired a new image every 30 seconds, built up into the movie seen here.
