ScienceWhat can we learn from eclipses?

A total solar eclipse will cross northern Spain on August 12 in one of Europe’s most eagerly awaited astronomical events of the decade. These rare occurrences continue to help scientists study subjects ranging from the Sun’s corona to animal behaviour and human emotions. Their scientific value has endured through more than two thousand years of observation. Olivier Joie-La Marle, head of space science at the Centre National d'Études Spatiales, offers further insights.
