It's officially #WorldSpaceWeek 🌌 and we're kicking it off with a space phenomenon from this year: the Forty Acres experiencing totality during the 2024 solar eclipse. The University of Texas at Austin / Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics, The University of Texas at Austin students launched a high-altitude balloon to capture data during the total solar eclipse. The balloon reached 100,000 feet above Earth, carrying sensors and cameras during the eclipse to better understand how eclipses affect the atmosphere.
