NASA plans to chase the moon’s shadow during solar eclipse 2 weeks away

NASA is preparing to chase the moon's shadow during the total solar eclipse occurring on August 12. To achieve this, the agency will deploy a high altitude jet along with balloons. These specialized tools are designed to study the sun's corona during the event. The mission is scheduled to take place in two weeks, focusing on gathering critical data from the solar atmosphere while following the path of the eclipse's shadow across the sky.
