Weather Study Spans 93 Million Miles On Sacramento Peak, New Mexico, an Air Force observatory studies the vast storms on the surface of the sun to learn their effect on our weather, with the aid of equipment that can produce artificial 'eclipses' to order for scientists. Aerial view, small structure among trees. Observatory equipment in operation, moving (some cool shots). Bright light projected as circle on wall or some other surface, person uses pointer to touch part of it. Simulated (?) solar eclipse. Flames leap off surface of sun during eclipse. Woman with eyeglasses works with equipment. Aerial flyby observatory, day, with telescope (?) aiming out of the open portion.
