SOLAR ECLIPSE IN THE STRATOSPHERE: You've seen pictures of the Great American Solar Eclipse from the ground, and maybe even from space. But what about from the stratosphere? On August 21st, just as the Moon was about to pass in front of the sun, the students of Earth to Sky Calculus released a network of 11 space weather balloons from 5 states in the path of totality. More than 20 cameras were waiting in the stratosphere when the Moon's shadow arrived, and they captured some truly unique images. First-look photos are highlighted on today's edition of Spaceweather.com .
