Artificial solar eclipses: A new way to understand the sun

The study of the solar corona has significant implications for understanding and forecasting space weather phenomena. Yet, regardless of scientific breakthroughs brought by space-based coronagraphs, access to the lowest layers of the Suns atmosphere remains possible mostly during rare total solar eclipses on Earth. What if we could summon a solar eclipse whenever we wanted,
