Since July 2025, the European Space Agency's pair of Proba-3 satellites has already created 57 artificial solar eclipses.
Relative to prior work, this still looks like an early proof point rather than a mature, routine operation.
This also matters in science-priority mission demand. The finding gets stronger if later work can build on it or test it. Watch for follow-up analysis, new measurements, or a related mission result that sharpens the finding.
