Nasa launched 3 rockets out of Virginia during the eclipse to study the ionosphere.
Just an fwi.

I've seen a claim that the rockets were 'named' for Egyptian deities. I've been trying to find the name of them without luck. I did find one article that mentioned one of them was named as the chief opponent of RA, BUT THEY DIDN'T GIVE THE NAME!!!! Geeez louise.

As an aside I had a strange dream about 2 weeks ago and in it I was in a control room of some kind and the Russians had just sent in an immediate demand that RA surrenders or there would be war, maybe nuke (????? don't ask me, I only dream here :lol:).

If anyone has a link to the rocket names, I'd appreciate it.

I didn't spend a lot of time looking, but I did do some searches. If they bothered to name them I find it odd it is so hard to find the names.

The short (hairs) video on Mexican TV, of the total testicular eclipse, was not on my 2024 BINGO card.

Their film editors apparently dropped the ball on that one.
