The Simpsons predict the future – again – after scientists plan artificial solar eclipse
- A UK-led space mission called MESOM plans to create human-made solar eclipses to help understand the Sun.
- The artificial solar eclipse aims to recreate totality, allowing scientists to study the Sun's corona, which is typically hard to observe due to the Sun's brightness.

What are hole-punch clouds, aka fallstreak holes?
- Hole-punch clouds, or fallstreak holes, are circular clearings in altocumulus cloud layers.
- They form when aircraft trigger ice crystal formation in supercooled water droplets in clouds.
- Jets' low pressure zones over wings cause air to cool rapidly below cloud temperature.
- This leads to ice crystal growth, rain, and snow, creating stunning cloud patterns.
