This isn't APEP's first rodeo.The mission's first launchoccurred the 2023 annular eclipse — a dress rehearsal of sorts before the upcoming total solar eclipse. During that test, the rockets recorded interesting data: a dramatic drop in the ionosphere's charged particle density that could cause...
Rockets were previously used to study the effects from October’s annular solar eclipse. According to the researchers, the use of rockets can be carefully planned out to be in the path instead of relying on satellites, which may not be at the right place at the right time. The rockets won...
Scientists at NASA will be sending rockets into the path of Monday's total eclipse in an effort to help unravel the mysteries of the solar system. NASA astronaut Stephen Bowen joined CBS News to discuss some of the scientific aspects of the eclipse.
If you’re not in the path of totality, it’s still worth watching this eclipse. With proper eye protection, you will be able to see the moon partially obscure the sun in the sky. And you can follow along online as well. NASA will be broadcasting its official 2024 solar eclipse ...
NASA will also share two other livestreams: One broadcast that will show a “clean” telescope feed of the eclipse that, weather permitting, will offer views of the eclipse from 12 locations in the path of totality and another that will show the launch of three sounding rockets for a...
Finally, NASA will launch three sounding rockets into the moon’s shadow during the eclipse to study changes in the ionosphere. If you’d like to watch those launches from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, you can see that onYouTubeas well. ...
