During the solar eclipse, NASA launched three sounding rockets into the Earth’s atmosphere on Monday afternoon.
NASA scientists launched the rockets to observe “disturbances in the ionosphere when the moon eclipses the sun.”
The first rocket was launched 45 minutes before the eclipse, the second rocket was launched during the eclipse, and the third rocket was launched 45 minutes after the eclipse occurred.
