"Tracking the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse: Maps, Photos, and Satellite Images"

The total solar eclipse occurring today is the first widespread one in the Lower 48 states since 2017 and the last until 2044. Weather maps are being used to track cloud and rain conditions, with temperature drops of 5 to 15 degrees expected in the path of totality. Additionally, the "eclipse wind" phenomenon may cause winds to lighten as the moon covers more of the sun. The Weather Company is providing detailed coverage and updates on the eclipse and its accompanying phenomena.

Rocket Lab successfully launches NASA's TROPICS CubeSat constellation.

Rocket Lab's Electron launched twice in two weeks to deliver the TROPICS constellation, containing four CubeSats, to orbit. The constellation will monitor tropical systems forming in the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean, performing scans about once every hour, an upgrade over current weather tracking satellites. The CubeSats carry a high-performance radiometer that will be able to see inside the structure of tropical systems through the tops of the clouds, including high-resolution scans of the eyewall.
