Amateur ham radio operators will help NASA study the ionosphere during Saturday’s ‘Ring of Fire’ eclipse. They’ll make worldwide contacts, measuring signal strength and distance, to learn about the fluctuating ionosphere layers 50-400 miles up that affect navigation and communications. It’s a unique chance before the 2024 total solar eclipse to research the impacts of sudden darkness on the ionized atmosphere.
