Solar Dynamics Observatory Sees Lunar Transit
On Jan. 30, 2014, beginning at 8:31 a.m EST, the moon moved between NASA’s
Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, and the sun, giving the observatory a view
of a partial solar eclipse from space. Such a lunar transit happens two to three
times each year. This one lasted two and one half hours, which is the longest
ever recorded. When the next one will occur is as of yet unknown due to planned
adjustments in SDO's orbit.
