A pair of European satellites have created the first artificial solar eclipses through precise and fancy formation flying.

Passing stars could trigger instability across the solar system, resulting in Earth being hauled out of its orbit.

Two satellites just carefully lined up to form a perfect "artificial total solar eclipse" in orbit. Earlier this year, the ...
