Global 'time signals' subtly shifted as the total solar eclipse reshaped Earth's upper atmosphere, new data shows

During the historic April 8 total solar eclipse, a government radio station in Colorado started sending out slightly shifted "time signals" to millions of people across the globe as the moon's shadow altered the upper layers of our atmosphere. However, these altered signals did not actually change the time.
