- Eclipses Create Atmospheric Gravity Waves, NASA Student Teams Confirmby Sandra May on September 5, 2024 at 1:09 PM
Student teams from three U.S. universities became the first to measure what scientists have long predicted: eclipses can generate ripples in Earth’s atmosphere called atmospheric gravity waves. The waves’ telltale signature emerged in data captured during the North American annular solar eclipse on Oct. 14, 2023, as part of the Nationwide Eclipse Ballooning Project (NEBP)
