But some of the best views will come from 50,000 feet up, aboard NASA's WB-57 jet.Flying through the stratosphere, the jet’s instruments study the eclipse from above most of Earth’s atmosphere, avoiding the clouds, dust, and water vapor that can blur the view.As the Moon's shadow races across the ground, the crew pushes the high-speed jet to stay inside totality for as long as possible, giving scientists and their instruments extra time to study the Sun.Learn more: https://science.nasa.gov/science-research/heliophysics/nasa-science-soars-during-august-total-solar-eclipse/ || ", "release_date": "2026-07-27T14:00:00-04:00", "update_date": "2026-07-27T14:56:31-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 1204741, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a015000/a015065/15065_Thumbnail.jpg", "filename": "15065_Thumbnail.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "Complete transcript available.Watch this video on the NASA Goddard YouTube channel.Music Credit: “Uncovered Discovered” by Emanuel Kallins [BMI] and Chieli Minucci [ASCAP] from Universal Production Music", "width": 1280, "height": 720, "pixels": 921600 } }, { "id": 14686, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14686/", "page_type": "B-Roll", "title": "Eclipse Ballooning Project Featuring the University of Maryland", "description": "The NASA-sponsored Nationwide Eclipse Ballooning Project (NEBP) immerses teams of STEM learners from a wide range of higher education institutions in an innovative NASA-mission-like adventure in data acquisition and analysis through scientific ballooning during the Oct. 14, 2023, annular and April 8, 2024, total solar eclipses.NEBP includes development and implementation of two learner-centered activity tracks – engineering and atmospheric science. At sites along the eclipse path, student teams in the engineering track use innovative larger balloon systems to live stream video to the NASA eclipse website, observe in situ perturbations in atmospheric phenomena, and conduct individually designed experiments. Atmospheric science track teams make frequent observations by launching hourly radiosondes on helium-filled weather balloons. Student participants work with atmospheric science experts throughout the project and will publish results in peer-reviewed journals.The project fully supports 53 teams divided into nine pods to facilitate effective education. NEBP provides a learning environment that uses evidence and equity-based practices to make certain the 750+ participants are (and feel) supported, engaged, and valued. In addition, NEBP provides infrastructure tools and best practices to help participating institutions build collaborations that could continue far beyond the scope of this project.Learn more: https://science.nasa.gov/sciact-team/nationwide-eclipse-ballooning-project/ || ", "release_date": "2024-09-18T11:00:00-04:00", "update_date": "2024-09-25T15:34:03-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 1098622, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a014600/a014686/14686_NEBPLaunch_4K_ProRes.00001_print.jpg", "filename": "14686_NEBPLaunch_4K_ProRes.00001_print.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "Launch – 4KThe University of Maryland Nearspace Balloon Payload Program, which operates as an engineering track team for the Nationwide Eclipse Ballooning Project, rehearses for the 2023 and 2024 solar eclipses with their NS-117 launch on May 6, 2023, from Everett, PA.", "width": 1024, "height": 576, "pixels": 589824 } }, { "id": 12703, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/12703/", "page_type": "Produced Video", "title": "Eclipse Imagery Along Path of Totality", "description": "Carbondale, IL - The Eclipse Ballooning Project inflating high altitude balloons in Saluki Stadium during the Aug. 21, 2017, total solar eclipse.

Representatives from NASA, other federal agencies, and science organizations, will provide important viewing safety, travel and science information during two briefings at the Newseum in Washington starting at 1 p.m. EDT Wednesday, June 21.The event will air live on NASA Television and stream on the agency’s website.Over the course of 100 minutes, 14 states across the United States will experience more than two minutes of darkness in the middle of the day. Additionally, a partial eclipse will be viewable across all of North America. The eclipse will provide a unique opportunity to study the sun, Earth, moon and their interaction because of the eclipse’s long path over land coast to coast. Scientists will be able to take ground-based and airborne observations over a period of an hour and a half to complement the wealth of data and images provided by space assets.The June 21 briefings are:Logistics Briefing: 1 to 2 p.m.Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate at the agency’s headquarters in WashingtonVanessa Griffin, director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Office of Satellite and Product Operations in Suitland, MarylandBrian Carlstrom, deputy associate director of Natural Resource Stewardship and Science at the National Park Service in WashingtonMartin Knopp, associate administrator of the Office of Operations in the Federal Highway Administration at the U.S. Department of Transportation in WashingtonScience Briefing: 2:30 to 3:30 p.m.Thomas ZurbuchenAngela Des Jardins, principal investigator of the Eclipse Ballooning Project at Montana State University, BozemanAngela Speck, professor of astrophysics and director of astronomy at the University of Missouri, ColumbiaDave Boboltz, program director of solar physics in the Division of Astronomical Sciences at the National Science Foundation in Arlington, VirginiaLinda Shore, executive director of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific in San FranciscoMatt Penn, astronomer at the National Solar Observatory in Tucson, Arizona || ", "release_date": "2017-06-21T13:00:00-04:00", "update_date": "2017-06-30T16:31:18-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 413412, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a012600/a012646/AJ_Nov112016launchVideo.00001_print.jpg", "filename": "AJ_Nov112016launchVideo.00001_print.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "Eclipse ballooning project.
