Hole in the Sky. A comparatively new problem is the effect of the moon's shadow on the ionized layers in the earth's upper atmosphere. These layers have a profound influence on radio transmission: they bounce some radio waves back and allow others to pass through. Since the ionized layers are caused by ultraviolet light from the sun, they presumably change their character when the moon's shadow knocks a hole in the sun's radiation. Long before the eclipse, begins, the scientists will have radar-like radios of various wavelengths trained upon each layer...

He played games amid relics of the Roman, Saxon and Norman conquests; his father was vicar of a church built by the medieval Minster monks. As a boy he watched British seapower-in full sail-pass through the Channel. He prepped at 1,200-year-old Sherborne School, which claims Alfred the Great as a pupil...
