UMass Lowell Eclipse Research to Shed Light on Weather in Space and on Earth

Caption

UMass Lowell faculty and student researchers will fan across the country on Aug. 21 along the track of the total eclipse that will sweep across U.S. skies. The research aims to take images of space weather during the event with the goal of aiding weather forecasting on Earth and improving wireless communications. This composite image illustrates what sky watchers from Oregon to South Carolina may witness during the solar event.
