The Fengyun satellites are a geostationary and polar-orbit constellation for weather observation and forecasting, constantly monitoring typhoons, precipitation and atmospheric conditions. The eclipse observation is cited as a showcase of the satellite’s optical and meteorological capabilities.

An eclipse seen from space shows at a glance the moon’s shadow sweeping across Earth’s surface—useful data for atmospheric research and the validation of weather models.

Weather-satellite data grows in value when shared across borders. In East Asia, where typhoons and extreme weather are frequent, accurate meteorological information bears directly on the safety of all residents, the Chinese community included.

Hwagyo Sibo reports scientific achievements as they are. What is confirmed is that the Fengyun satellite recorded a total solar eclipse from space; we present it in the context of science without borders.
