First Proba-3 science: surprisingly speedy solar wind

Proba-3 satellites have generated 57 artificial solar eclipses since July 2025, collecting over 250 hours of high-resolution corona videos. Recent findings reveal solar wind structures can travel 250–500 km/s, three to four times faster than previously thought. This groundbreaking data enhances our understanding of solar wind dynamics and space weather phenomena, according to Andrei Zhukov of the Royal Observatory of Belgium.
