TL;DR

ESA’s Proba-2 satellite recorded four viewpoints of the Feb. 17, 2026 annular solar eclipse from orbit, including a spectacular “ring of fire” when about 93% of the Sun was obscured; the SWAP instrument imaged the Sun’s corona in extreme ultraviolet, with the most complete ring visible from remote Antarctica while other locations saw a partial eclipse.
