August 21 will be a day for the history books. No matter where you are in North America, you’ll get to experience the first coast-to-coast solar eclipse in nearly a century! The dark shadow of the moon will sweep from Oregon to South Carolina, putting 14 states in the path of totality and providing a spectacular view of a partial eclipse across all 50 states.
Eclipses are an incredible experience, but it’s important to view them safely. Join NASA scientists on Wednesday, August 16, from 6:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. ET and again from 3:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. ET to show your viewers what they need to safely see the eclipse whether they’re inside the path of totality or not.
You should never look directly at the sun! The only safe way to look directly at the sun or partially eclipsed sun is through special-purpose solar filters, such as “eclipse glasses” or hand-held solar viewers. An eclipse is a striking phenomenon you won't want to miss, but you must carefully follow safety procedures.
Solar eclipses happen somewhere in the world about every 18 months, but much of the time it happens over the ocean. To have an eclipse travel across so much land where millions of people live is incredibly rare, and makes for a unique opportunity for so many to witness one of nature’s most impressive shows. It’s also a great opportunity for scientists to see the sun’s faint outer atmosphere and evaluate how Earth responds to the sudden darkening.
Take this opportunity to step outside and safely watch one of nature’s best shows!

Extra Questions for Longer Interviews:
7. How did a picture of an eclipse in 1919 prove Einstein’s theory of relativity?
8. Eclipses are actually a special type of transit. How are transits helping scientists search for life on other planets?
9. Why does an eclipse only last for a few minutes?
10. What happens to Earth during the eclipse?
11. If you were looking back at Earth during the eclipse what would you see?
12. How has our precise mapping of the moon helped us predict the path of eclipses?
13. How long and where was the longest ever recorded eclipse?

But for one team of NASA-funded scientists, the eclipse will last over seven minutes. Their secret? Following the shadow of the Moon in two retrofitted WB-57F jet planes. Amir Caspi of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado, and his team will use two of NASA’s WB-57F research jets to chase the darkness across America on Aug. 21. Taking observations from twin telescopes mounted on the noses of the planes, Caspi will capture the clearest images of the Sun’s outer atmosphere — the corona — to date and the first-ever thermal images of Mercury, revealing how temperature varies across the planet’s surface. || ", "release_date": "2017-07-25T09:30:00-04:00", "update_date": "2023-05-03T13:47:31.667002-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 412652, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a012100/a012179/AmirCaspi_Jets_print.jpg", "filename": "AmirCaspi_Jets_print.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "The two jets will observe the total eclipse for about three and a half minutes each as they fly over Missouri, Illinois, and Tennessee.
