TL;DR Summary

NASA will launch three rockets into the moon's shadow during the upcoming partial solar eclipse to study the effects of the sudden drop in sunlight and temperature on Earth's upper atmosphere. The project, named Atmospheric Perturbations Around The Eclipse Path (APEP), aims to investigate changes in the ionosphere and their impact on communication and satellite signals. The rockets will carry scientific instruments to measure electric and magnetic fields, density, and temperature, providing valuable data for understanding and predicting disturbances in the ionosphere.
