Titled “Solar Stones,” the exhibit displays two famous petroglyphs, or rock carvings, found in Chaco Culture National Historical Park located in northwestern New Mexico. One petroglyph is believed to represent a total solar eclipse occurring on July 11, 1097, and the other a solar marker that indicates the annual equinoxes and solstices.

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.

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.

Creativity is critical to making scientific breakthroughs, and art is often an expression (or product) of scientific knowledge. And both art and science begin in the experience of awe, of beholding something grand. The experience of a solar eclipse is a prime example of where these two human endeavors meet.Eclipses are celestial events we can predict with extreme precision, and their occurrence reveals fundamental truths about our place in the universe. Yet, as many eclipse watchers will attest, there is no anticipating how you will feel when experiencing one. The emotional resonance of eclipses is underlined by their presence in artforms in cultures across the world going back millennia.To celebrate the special role of eclipses in connecting art and science, creatives across NASA will be sharing their eclipse-inspired artwork in anticipation of two solar eclipses that will cross the United States on October 14, 2023, and April 8, 2024.The first two pieces in the series are presented below, with short biographies of their creators. || ", "release_date": "2023-10-31T10:00:00-04:00", "update_date": "2024-07-27T14:21:36.739373-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 860636, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a014400/a014401/Kristen_Perrin_Poster_Front_print.jpg", "filename": "Kristen_Perrin_Poster_Front_print.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "Credits: NASA/Kristen PerrinKristen Perrin is a successful African American woman, mother of four, and Senior Multimedia and Graphic Specialist.

In a new discovery reported in the journal Nature, scientists working with NASA’s Magnetospheric Multiscale spacecraft — MMS — have uncovered a new type of magnetic event in our near-Earth environment by using an innovative technique to squeeze extra information out of the data.Magnetic reconnection is one of the most important processes in the space — filled with charged particles known as plasma — around Earth. This fundamental process dissipates magnetic energy and propels charged particles, both of which contribute to a dynamic space weather system that scientists want to better understand, and even someday predict, as we do terrestrial weather. Reconnection occurs when crossed magnetic field lines snap, explosively flinging away nearby particles at high speeds. The new discovery found reconnection where it has never been seen before — in turbulent plasma. || ", "release_date": "2018-05-09T13:00:00-04:00", "update_date": "2023-05-03T13:46:49.900876-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 405569, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a012900/a012901/LARGE_MP4_12901_TurbulentPlasma_MagneticReconnection_large.00204_print.jpg", "filename": "LARGE_MP4_12901_TurbulentPlasma_MagneticReconnection_large.00204_print.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "Conceptual animation - Explosive Magnetic Reconnection in Turbulent PlasmaIn a turbulent magnetic environment, magnetic field lines become scrambled. As the field lines cross, intense electric currents (shown here as bright regions) form and eventually trigger magnetic reconnection (indicated by a flash), which is an explosive event that releases magnetic energy accumulated in the current layers and ejects high-speed bi-directional jets of electrons. NASA’s Magnetospheric Multiscale mission witnessed this process in action as it flew through the electron jets the turbulent boundary just at the edge of Earth’s magnetic environment.Credit: NASA Goddard’s Conceptual Image Lab/Lisa Poje\rSimulations by: University of Chicago/Colby Haggerty; University of Delaware/Tulasi ParasharWatch this video on the NASA.gov Video YouTube channel.\r", "width": 1024, "height": 576, "pixels": 589824 } }, { "id": 20130, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/20130/", "page_type": "Animation", "title": "Voyager 2", "description": "This animation shows Voyager 2 on its journey to the Heliopause. || Voyager 2 animation || VgerII060000602_print.jpg (1024x576) [60.8 KB] || VgerII0600_web.png (320x180) [264.4 KB] || VgerII0600_thm.png (80x40) [16.3 KB] || 1280x720_16x9_60p (1280x720) [64.0 KB] || 20130_Voyager_2_Heliopause.mov (1280x720) [326.2 MB] || VgerII_720p.m2v (1280x720) [29.5 MB] || VgerII_720p.webmhd.webm (960x540) [5.0 MB] || a010179_VgerII_720p.mp4 (640x360) [3.4 MB] || VgerII_512x288.m1v (512x288) [6.4 MB] || ", "release_date": "2007-12-10T00:00:00-05:00", "update_date": "2023-05-03T13:55:31.264691-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 506603, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a020000/a020100/a020130/VgerII060000602_print.jpg", "filename": "VgerII060000602_print.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "Voyager 2 animation", "width": 1024, "height": 576, "pixels": 589824 } } ], "products": [], "newer_versions": [], "older_versions": [], "alternate_versions": [] }
