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. || ", "hits": 73 }, { "id": 40502, "url": "http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/2024total-solar-eclipse-gallery/", "result_type": "Gallery", "release_date": "2023-10-31T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "2024 Total Solar Eclipse", "description": "On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada.

Scientists believe the asteroid formed during an ancient cosmic collision about one billion years ago and is composed of the same raw ingredients that created the planets. OSIRIS-REx will explore Bennu, collect a sample from its surface and bring it back to Earth for analysis. The findings will help scientists better understand the history of the solar system and the origin of life on our planet.

To conserve fuel, the spacecraft executed a gravity-assist flyby of Earth on August 2, 2005, that altered its trajectory and pointed it toward the sun. During the maneuver, several hundred images of Earth were taken using two onboard cameras. Assembled into a sequence, the images offer fascinating views of our home planet at varying scale. The sequence begins with an image of Earth from a distance of 40,761 miles. Over 24 hours, the size of Earth's sphere decreases as the spacecraft travels deeper into space, taking parting shots from beyond the moon's orbit, more than 270,000 miles away.

The epic storm delivered power outages, storm surges, erosion, flooding, property damage and fatalities along the Atlantic coast. NASA and NOAA satellites provided the images that made their way onto broadcast news and into the hands of decision makers. Only the view from space could capture Sandy's full evolution, from a tropical storm into a Category 1 hurricane that spanned 1,100 miles in diameter, wider than any other Atlantic hurricane on record. The time-lapse animation shows the hurricane during the two days leading up to landfall in New Jersey, as seen by the GOES-14 weather satellite. || ", "hits": 40 }, { "id": 11109, "url": "http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/11109/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2012-10-12T10:00:00-04:00", "title": "X-ray Satellites Monitor the Clashing Winds of a Colossal Binary", "description": "One of the nearest and richest OB associations in our galaxy is Cygnus OB2, which is located about 4,700 light-years away and hosts some 3,000 hot stars, including about 100 in the O class. Weighing in at more than a dozen times the sun's mass and sporting surface temperatures five to ten times hotter, these ginormous blue-white stars blast their surroundings with intense ultraviolet light and powerful outflows called stellar winds. Two of these stars can be found in the intriguing binary system known as Cygnus OB2 #9. In 2011, NASA's Swift satellite, the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton observatory and several ground-based facilities took part in a campaign to monitor the system as the giant stars raced toward their closest approach. The observations are giving astronomers a more detailed picture of the stars, their orbits and the interaction of their stellar winds. An O-type star is so luminous that the pressure of its starlight actually drives material from its surface, creating particle outflows with speeds of several million miles an hour. Put two of these humongous stars in the same system and their winds can collide during all or part of the orbit, creating both radio emission and X-rays.In 2008, research showed that Cygnus OB2 #9 emitted radio signals that varied every 2.355 years.

Drawing upon a treasure-trove of stunning historical objects-including ledger drawings, hoof ornaments, beaded bags, hide robes, paintings, and other objects-and new pieces by contemporary Native artists, the exhibition reveals how horses shaped the social, economic, cultural, and spiritual foundations of American Indian life, particularly on the Great Plains.The story of American Indians and horses is one of the great sagas of human contact with the animal kingdom. The foundation of this extraordinary relationship was laid in 1493, when Christopher Columbus brought the first horses to the Western Hemisphere. As Spaniards surged westward from the Caribbean and northwards from Mexico, American Indians caught their first glimpse of the horse, and soon adopted it into their world. Horses revolutionized Native life and became an integral part of tribal cultures, honored in objects, stories, songs, and ceremonies. By the 1800s, Native American horsemanship was legendary in American culture at large, celebrated in paintings, photographs, Wild West shows, and later in movies and television programs. Today, the image of the mounted Native warrior remains fixed in the American imagination. With traditional and contemporary stories, songs, and poetry and using archival photographs, lithographs, maps, books, magazines, and audio-visual presentations, the exhibition brings the story up to the present, demonstrating that the horse, though no longer ubiquitous, is still venerated in Indian Country today.This exhibition is an outgrowth of the NMAI publication A Song for the Horse Nation: Horses in Native American Cultures, edited by George P. Horse Capture and Emil Her Many Horses (2006).In support of this exhibit, these three images showing the topography and seasonal landcover over North America were created as a background for an 'interactive map' where museum visitors can learn about the relationship between humans and horses over hundreds of years, and how trade, migration, and technology impacted this relationship. || ", "hits": 60 }, { "id": 40238, "url": "http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/hyperwall-themes/", "result_type": "Gallery", "release_date": "2005-09-15T12:00:00-04:00", "title": "Hyperwall Stories for specific event", "description": "The hyperwall gallery features visualizations that have been selected for use at NASA's hyperwall at event\nReturn to Main Hyperwall Gallery.", "hits": 49 } ] }
