MYSTERIOUS: Nasa spacecraft snaps eerie image of eclipsed sun with an extra moon overhead what s going on - You Need To See This

An image taken by the PUNCH satellites showing the moon with the sun blocked out by occulters.

The moon hovers over a shadowy void wreathed in sunlight in a stunning new photo taken by NASA's Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH) mission on April 27.

PUNCH is a collection of four small satellites orbiting Earth with their instruments aimed at the sun. Launched on March 11, its goal is to study the solar wind — the stream of charged particles emanating from the sun and the cause of space weather. It will do so by taking pictures of the sun and the space between it and Earth.
