How do scientists use eclipses? | Science of eclipses

How do solar eclipses give scientists unique insight in the Sun? This remarkable and rare (on Earth) phenomenon has historically provided proof of Einstein's theory of relativity and the existence of helium... but in the C21st, we explore how scientists are still using eclipses to enhance our understanding, including throught the work on the Solar Orbiter.
