Citizen science group 'Solar Patrol' will use a retired NASA telescope to study the sun during America's two upcoming solar eclipses.

Jam packed issues filled with the latest cutting-edge research, technology and theories delivered in an entertaining and visually stunning way, aiming to educate and inspire readers of all agesRing of fire solar eclipse photographed from district Simeulue, Aceh, Indonesia on December 26, 2019.a 112-foot retired NASA radio telescope will be pointed at the sun to study what happens when sunspots are covered by the moon.

Solar Patrol will actually study"active regions" — the magnetically complex regions that form over sunspots in the sun's inner corona — as A lot of space missions measure the magnetic field far away from the sun, but to connect it to what is happening in the sun we need these intermediate measurements," said Velusamy.

Exactly where the telescope will be pointed will depend on where the sunspots are on the days of the eclipses, but if there are any — and it's highly likely there will be — GAVRT will detect subtle changes to the radio emissions from active regions. This same technique was first used during the last annular solar eclipse in the US in May 2012, when 83% of the sun was blocked by the moon as seen from Apple Valley.
