What is it about a total eclipse that holds such fascination for humans! Imagine what it did to our ancestors - fear for sure. What can’t be explained, often evokes fear. But then the phenomenon was explained and many still didn’t believe it. Fast forward, now that we are not in the dark, we want to understand its effects - no fear - to eclipse our #curiosity NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration is preparing for a mission to study how the sudden decrease in sunlight affects our upper atmosphere - three suborbital "sounding" rockets equipped with scientific instruments will be launched in succession – before, during the peak and one after – to measure changes in electric and magnetic fields, density, and temperature. Can’t wait to hear the cool findings!
