"description": "A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, allowing the Moon's long, thin shadow to intersect the Earth's surface. The shadow comprises two concentric cones called the umbra and the penumbra. Observers on the Earth who are within the smaller, central umbra see the Sun completely blocked. Within the larger penumbra, the Sun is only partially blocked.
In this visualization, the Earth, Moon, Sun, and shadow cones are viewed through a telescopic lens on a virtual camera. Long focal lengths like the one used here appear to compress the distance between near and far objects. Despite appearances, the geometry of the scene is to scale. The Moon's umbra cone is roughly 30 Earth diameters long, barely enough to reach the Earth, while the Sun is both 400 times larger than the Moon and 400 times farther away.
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. The umbra sweeps across the surface at more than 1500 miles (2400 kilometers) per hour along the path of totality, shown in red. The shadow would move even faster if the Earth weren't rotating in the same direction. The shadow tracks the west-to-east motion of the Moon in its orbit.
The outline of the penumbra is shown in purple, and the northern and southern edges of the path it sweeps out are drawn in yellow. This shows the part of the Earth where people will see at least a partial eclipse. Orange loops at either end of the eclipse path are sunrise and sunset lines, points on the Earth where the eclipse either begins or ends at sunrise or sunset.
The umbra is over land for just an hour and forty minutes before moving into the North Atlantic and then skipping off the edge of the Earth.",

"description": "In visible wavelengths of light, the Sun’s surface is much brighter than its corona. During a total solar eclipse, however, observers can see the corona – and scientists can investigate how solar material moves out from the Sun to form the solar wind, an ever-flowing particle stream that impacts Earth and our entire solar system.The Dynamic Eclipse Broadcast (DEB) Initiative, led by Bob Baer and Matt Penn of Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, organizes volunteers as they capture images of the corona during the 2024 eclipse. Using identical instruments at more than 70 different locations across North America, participants document the moment-by-moment appearance of the corona throughout the eclipse. Comparing these images across locations, scientists track plumes of solar material in the difficult-to-study inner corona, estimating their speed and rate of acceleration and linking these observations to those from NASA spacecraft.The project expands on the team’s efforts during the 2017 total solar eclipse, this time including observation sites outside the path of totality, where part of the solar disk will remain visible. Images from these locations will reveal the source of solar material later observed as outflows in the corona, allowing the team to trace them back to their origins on the Sun.DEB Initiative is one of many participatory science projects happening during the 2024 total solar eclipse.

"description": "The Goldstone Apple Valley Radio Telescope (GAVRT) is located in Goldstone, California. It is a reconfigured antenna used for teaching purposes.The GAVRT program teaches K-12 students how to calibrate this 34-meter antenna (known as Deep Space Station-28), collect and distribute science data through the Internet and get excited about radio astronomy. Students collaborate with scientists who are working on the same mission and are recognized as part of the science team. Data collected and analyzed by the students is used by NASA in their studies of the solar system.During the April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, educators at the Lewis Center for Education Research in Southern California, and participants in the center’s Solar Patrol citizen science program will observe solar “active regions” – the magnetically complex regions that form over sunspots – as the Moon moves over them. The Moon’s gradual passage across the Sun blocks different portions of the active region at different times, allowing scientists to distinguish light signals coming from one portion versus another. The technique, first used during the May 2012 annular eclipse, revealed details on the Sun the telescope couldn’t otherwise detect. || ",

"description": "On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will travel through Mexico, cross the United States from Texas to Maine, and exit North America along Canada’s coast. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth and briefly covers the full disk of the Sun. 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. A partial solar eclipse is when the Moon only covers part of the Sun. People in Hawaii and parts of Alaska will also experience a partial solar eclipse. Click here to learn more about when and where the solar eclipse will be visible: go.nasa.gov/Eclipse2024MapWARNING: Except during the brief total phase of a total solar eclipse, when the Moon completely blocks the Sun’s bright face, it is not safe to look directly at the Sun without specialized eye protection for solar viewing. Indirect viewing methods, such as pinhole projectors, can also be used to experience an eclipse. For more on how to safely view this eclipse: go.nasa.gov/Eclipse2024SafetyNot in the path of the eclipse? Watch with us from anywhere in the world. We will provide live broadcast coverage on April 8 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. EDT (17:00 to 20:00 UTC) on NASA TV, NASA.gov, the NASA app, and on YouTube.Learn more about the upcoming total solar eclipse: go.nasa.gov/Eclipse2024 || ",

"description": "On Wednesday, Jan. 31, 2024, at the 104th American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting, NASA scientists participated in an informative media briefing about the April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse. In this briefing, panelists discussed what viewers can see across the path of totality, how they can safely watch the eclipse, and at-home activities to learn about and watch the eclipse. NASA scientists also shared a unique perspective on what it means to see this eclipse during solar maximum, when the Sun is at a period of high activity, as well as the parallels between space weather and meteorology, and space weather’s impact on Earth. || ",

"description": "On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada. A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun. The sky will darken as if it were dawn or dusk, and those standing in the path of totality may see the Sun’s outermost atmosphere (the corona) if weather permits.A map developed using data from a variety of NASA sources shows the total eclipse path as a dark band. Outside this path, purple lines indicate how much of the Sun will become covered by the Moon during the partial eclipse.This video shows different areas of the map, explaining these and other features that describe what observers across the country can expect to see during the total eclipse.

"description": "The April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse will produce stunning views across North America. While anyone along the eclipse path with a clear sky will see the spectacular event, the best view might be 50,000 feet in the air, aboard NASA’s WB-57 jet planes. That’s where a trio of NASA-funded teams are sending their scientific instruments to take measurements of the eclipse. Two teams will image the Sun’s outer atmosphere – the corona – and a third will measure the ionosphere, the upper electrically charged layer of Earth’s atmosphere. This information will help scientists better understand the structure and temperature of the corona, the effects of the Sun on Earth’s atmosphere, and even aid in the search of asteroids that may orbit near the Sun. || ",
