Last week, Artemis 2 astronauts witnessed a total solar eclipse from space as the Orion spacecraft spent nearly an hour in the moon’s shadow. But you don’t have to travel beyond the moon to see a truly private solar eclipse, as a remote team from France and Italy’s Concordia Institute recently experienced.<\/p>\n
Concordia Research Station is Antarctica’s most remote research station, located 750 miles (1,207 kilometers) inland and 10,600 feet (3,230 meters) above sea level. The small crew stationed there endures average winter temperatures of minus 58 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 50 degrees Celsius) and four months without seeing the sun rise over the horizon. This region is also one of the driest regions on Earth and is part of Antarctica’s vast polar desert.<\/p>\n
