This reveals the Sun’s wispy, white outer atmosphere, called the corona.Weather permitting, people throughout most of North and Central America, including all of the contiguous United States, will be able to view at least a partial solar eclipse.

safely view a solar eclipse? There are more ways than one! To protect your eyes while looking at a solar eclipse, always use proper eye protection for solar viewing – such as solar viewing glasses (often called “eclipse glasses”) or a handheld solar viewer – when any part of the bright solar disk is visible. To use telescopes or binoculars to look directly at the Sun, you must install a certified solar filter to the front of the instrument. Don’t have eclipse glasses or other equipment? You can use an indirect viewing method to project sunlight onto another surface and see the shape of the Sun throughout the eclipse. There are many ways you can do this from using materials around your house, tree leaves, or even your hands.To learn more about solar eclipse safety, visit: https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-2024/safety/ || ", "release_date": "2024-02-26T10:00:00-05:00", "update_date": "2024-02-23T09:43:24.146529-05:00", "main_image": { "id": 1089466, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a014500/a014532/Thumbnail.jpg", "filename": "Thumbnail.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "Watch this video on the NASA Goddard YouTube channel.Complete transcript available.Music credit: \"Back From The Brink\" by Daniel Gunnar Louis Trachtenberg [PRS], “Hive Mind” by Ben De Vries [PRS] and Cam Tigre [PRS] from Universal Production MusicAdditional footage: NASA EDGESound effects: Pixabay", "width": 1280, "height": 720, "pixels": 921600 } }, { "id": 5186, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5186/", "page_type": "Visualization", "title": "Flying Around The 2024 Eclipse Shadow", "description": "The virtual camera flies from the night side of the Earth and Moon to the day side, revealing the path of the Moon's shadow during the April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse.

When watching a partial solar eclipse, you must wear eclipse glasses at all times when looking at the Sun, or use an indirect viewing method. This also applies during a total solar eclipse up until the moment when the Sun is completely blocked by the Moon.During the short time when the Moon completely obscures the Sun – known as the period of totality – it is safe to look directly at the star without eye protection. However, it’s crucial that you know when it’s safe to both remove and put back on your safe solar viewing glasses.To learn more about eclipses visit: science.nasa.gov/eclipses. || ", "release_date": "2023-11-03T09:00:00-04:00", "update_date": "2023-11-03T09:22:19.919015-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 860746, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a014400/a014453/14453AnnularEclipseViewing_JB_YT.00001_print.jpg", "filename": "14453AnnularEclipseViewing_JB_YT.00001_print.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "B-roll footage of attendees at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque, New Mexico, wearing safe solar glasses to observe the annular solar eclipse of October 14, 2023.Video Credit: NASA/Jefferson Beck", "width": 1024, "height": 576, "pixels": 589824 } }, { "id": 14447, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14447/", "page_type": "Produced Video", "title": "Eclipse Safety Imagery 2023", "description": "It is never safe to look directly at the Sun – even if the Sun is partially obscured.
