But on Earth, clouds and rain could mar the experience. “Clouds are obviously what everybody cares about, in terms of viewing the total solar eclipse,” said Deirdre Dolan, a meteorologist with the ...

When the April 8 solar eclipse casts its shadow, Colorado-based scientists will chase it in a jet flying faster than 500 mph and aim a coffin-shaped instrument straight at the sun's corona, taking measurements that eventually could help weather forecasters predict space storms.

When the April 8 solar eclipse casts its shadow, Colorado-based scientists will chase it in a jet flying faster than 500 mph and aim a coffin-shaped instrument straight at the sun's corona, taking measurements that eventually could help weather forecasters predict space storms.

The upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8 is expected to be even more memorable due to the sun being extremely active.

Geomagnetic storms can lead to disturbances in power grids, satellite operations, and communication as well as generate "spectacular" auroras.
