Как reported NASA, two WB-57F jets, will start from Ellington base near Houston (Texas), will rise to an altitude of 15 km and will be accompanied by the Moon's shadow moving through Missouri, Illinois and Tennessee. High-resolution cameras installed on board will capture the solar corona at 30 frames per second. These observations will enable scientists for the first time to observe the solar flashes in the solar photosphere, which, according to one theory, provide heating of the solar corona to millions of degrees.
“It is quite possible that this will be the best observation of the solar corona ever made before.” — said astronomer from the University of Colorado at Boulder Dan Seaton.
