SOTS are separated by slates with the following questions. Full transcript of his answers are available under the download button
1. This eclipse is a major viewing event. What can our viewers expect to see?
2. We’ve been told to never look directly at the Sun. So how can our viewers safely view the solar eclipse and take photos of the eclipse?
3. What are you most excited about for this eclipse?
4. A total solar eclipse is the only time we can see the outer atmosphere of the Sun with our own eyes. What will scientists be looking for during this eclipse?
5. The Sun has thrown out some powerful bursts of radiation over the last couple of weeks. Can you talk about what it means that the Sun is becoming more active?
6. Later this year, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe will make history when it flies closer to the Sun than any other spacecraft, through the corona that’s visible during the eclipse. Can you talk about this extraordinary mission?
7. People have known how to predict eclipses for thousands of years but a NASA mission has made those predictions even more precise in the past few years. Can you tell us about how scientists are using the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter to improve eclipse predictions?
8. Eclipses are actually a special type of transit. How are transits helping scientists search for life on other planets?
9. What are some ways our viewers can get involved with solar science during the total solar eclipse?
10. How did a picture of an eclipse in 1919 prove Einstein’s theory of relativity?
11.

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": 14509, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14509/", "page_type": "Produced Video", "title": "How to Safely Watch a Total Solar Eclipse", "description": "On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada.
