NASA Rocket Takes First Multi-Point Look Inside Radio-Disrupting Clouds
High above Earth, thin veils of metallic haze drift through the edge of space. Known as sporadic E layers, these high-altitude “clouds” form from the vaporized dust of burnt-up meteors, earning their name from the unpredictable way they emerge and then dissipate. Now, new results from a NASA sounding rocket - a suborbital research rocket - that flew five detectors through one of these layers simultaneously reveal unexpected complexity in the layer for the first time. Though invisible to the eye,
The science section covers breakthroughs in medicine, physics, biology, and technology. We surface discoveries that expand what humanity can do, from new treatments reaching clinical trials to engineering feats that seemed impossible a decade ago. Every link goes to the original publisher so you can read the full study or press release yourself.
