August's solar eclipse inspires science involving jets, balloons and Einstein’s general theory of relativity

On August 12, the sky will darken for a brief moment, and scientists are gearing up to seize this unique chance to gather data. Total solar eclipses are like gold mines for understanding everything from the sun's physics to animal behavior. NASA will deploy high-altitude jets to capture stunning images of the sun’s corona, while students will launch balloons to study gravity waves. It’s an exciting time for science, as researchers hope to unlock new insights that could even improve climate models.
