NASA is set to launch a mission called APEP to study how a solar eclipse affects the upper atmosphere. During an eclipse, the sudden drop in sunlight causes changes in the ionosphere, creating waves that ripple through this atmospheric layer. The APEP mission will involve launching three rockets equipped with scientific instruments to measure changes in electric and magnetic fields, density, and temperature.
