NASA's solar dynamics observatory, or SDO, has a constant eye on the sun

00:00:03,230 --> 00:00:05,910
But sometimes it sees other bodies too.

00:00:05,930 --> 00:00:10,050
On September 1, 2016, Earth briefly blocked the spacecraft's view.

00:00:13,500 --> 00:00:16,590
During this time, the moon was also crossing the face of the sun,

00:00:16,610 --> 00:00:19,120
which allowed SDO to capture a double eclipse.
