- August's solar eclipse inspires science involving jets, balloons and Einstein’s general theory of relativity
August's solar eclipse provides scientists with a rare chance to collect data on solar physics and upper atmospheric air pressure using methods like jets and balloons. The event also inspires research related to Einstein’s general theory of relativity.
- Super Typhoon Sinlaku triggered atmospheric gravity waves visible from space
Super Typhoon Sinlaku, one of the most powerful typhoons recorded early in the Pacific season, triggered atmospheric gravity waves visible from space. The storm caused flooding, extreme winds, and ripples in the upper atmosphere detected as a faint glow by satellites.
