NASA will conduct scientific experiments using airplanes and balloons in Spain and Iceland during the total solar eclipse scheduled for Wednesday, August 12. According to an official statement, a funded scientific team will use these platforms to collect key data regarding the Sun and the Earth.
The initiative aims to leverage the unique conditions of the total solar eclipse to gather crucial observations. By deploying instruments on aircraft and high-altitude balloons, researchers hope to capture atmospheric and solar phenomena that are difficult to study under normal conditions.
