What is a solar eclipse?  The phenomenon happens when the Sun, Moon and Earth are perfectly aligned. ☀️ 🌑 🌍 The Moon blocks light from the Sun and casts a shadow on Earth. The eclipse is visible to anybody within this shadow. That's what will happen on 12 August. 1/3  🔭 🧪 #EuropeanSolarEclipse

🎧 Listen closely... that's a spacecraft swooping by Mercury! The second episode of our 🎙️ 'Expedition Sound' podcast is here. Explore the planets of our Solar System, make a stop at planet Mercury and discover the ESA/JAXA BepiColombo mission 👉 shorturl.at/08khh 🔭 🧪 #planetsci
