The clearest images of the sun are obtained by instruments above the disruptions of Earth's atmosphere, so scientists naturally use every option possible to get instruments into space. NASA has a range of solar telescopes flying on spacecraft, but it makes use of other technology as well - including balloons.
This summer, the NASA Scientific Balloon Program will launch, for the second time, the largest solar telescope ever to leave the ground. The telescope, SUNRISE, is a high-resolution solar observatory that can observe the structure and dynamics of the sun's magnetic field, down to a resolution of about 60 miles across. Observing the dance of the sun's magnetic fields helps scientists understand what governs its dynamic solar cycle: The sun's magnetic poles flip approximately every 11 years leading to periods of intense magnetic activity on the sun that come with a variety of solar eruptions.
This is the second Long Duration Balloon flight for the SUNRISE instrument. The first flight occurred in 2009. The team gathered large amounts of unique science data during its maiden flight, which occurred while the sun's activity was minimal.
"For this trip, the new solar cycle has started. We expect to see all sorts of interesting magnetic features on the sun," said Solanki]/ex]
No great mystery.
No conspiracy.
From what I've seen the video is bollocks.
NASA does use balloons....but they also use rockets.

you deliberately overlooked the names of some of those balloons
why would they call it Mir--the original name of the space station
as i said i havent got time to go thru everything in detail
you want to ignore the obvious---who cares
and keep ingesting NASA Lies--they're good at explaining away everything
They just cant explain how the original footage & data of the Apollo 11 landing mysteriously disappeared--they just cant find it

far from ignoring my posts--you & others are trolling me
meaning that you are desperate to discourage others reading my posts
Why not just ignore my posts--allow people to make up their own minds
Becos at the back of your mind--you know the info rings true
Cognitive dissonance is a b*tch
you deliberately overlooked the names of some of those balloons
gravity waves in the Arctic polar vortex during the SAGE III-Ozone Loss and Validation Experiment and Third European Stratospheric Experiment on Ozone 2000 (SOLVE/THESEO) campaign.
.....you & others are trolling me

And none of that is even remotely on the topic of CCP threatening to nuke anyone who questions the CCP's alternate reality.

Very true.
But its a welcome comic relief from all the 'Red's under the bed' paranoia and 'Biden bad, Trump good', 'The Return of Trump' obsessions that seems to be gripping ATS at present.
as usual you are deliberately acting obtuse
all you are doing is quoting NASA BS cover stories
....only makes people wonder what you're trying to hide

Tienanmen massacre didnt happen as reported
Dont you find it odd that the Tank Man incident was filmed at just the right position & angle--- staged right in front of a hotel filled with Western journos
Where's all the rest of the footage of the massacres
Surely the journalists captured many other images from their hotel windows
So nice of the Chinese Govt to let them into the country to report the demonstrators camped out for weeks in the Square
And the Govt didnt even confiscate the footage when the SHTF
Yeah right
All student riots are staged by the Globalists
Reverse pyschology at work
Riots & protests are staged to push population to demand more law & order= more authoritarianism
what do you think the staged BLM riots are about
To push americans to the far right

so instead of 3 CIA Glowies to 1--you want me to be trolled by more
Perhaps that explains Vietnam
Who knows maybe some day US may win a war
Like all bullies you only go after 3rd worlders
And even then they kicked your super-power fake nuke arses

your use of the word illuminating is very illuminating---Glowie
The seed of doubt doesnt refer to trolls like yourself--but to anyone who may stumble across this thread
and may wonder why 3 trolls are trying so desperately to push the NASA narrative
so you have defeated your purpose--sunshine
