Dark Menace (1998)
Some asteroids pass so close to the Sun that they must glow red-hot at times. Icarus
is one such, named after the ill-fated Greek who used wax to bind bird feathers
together to make himself a set of wings — only to fly so close to the Sun that the
wax melted and he fell to his death in the Sea of Icarus off the Greek island of
Mykonos. Here, a Sun-grazer passes in front of the Sun to create a spectacular solar
eclipse in space.
