Additionally, IMAP will support real-time observations of the solar wind and energetic particles, which can produce hazardous conditions in the space environment near Earth. The IMAP spacecraft will be located at Lagrange Point 1, or L1. Lagrange points are positions in space where objects sent there tend to stay put. At L1, which is around 1 million miles from Earth towards the Sun, the gravitational pull of the Sun and Earth are balanced, allowing spacecraft to reduce fuel consumption needed to remain in position. At L1, IMAP will have a clear view of the heliosphere and will also be positioned to provide advanced warning of incoming solar storms headed to Earth.

And every once in a while –– most recently, June 10, 2021 –– it has the opportunity to capture a solar eclipse.A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon is positioned between the Sun and Earth, leading the Moon’s shadow to be projected onto Earth. During a total solar eclipse, the Moon completely blocks the Sun. During an annular solar eclipse, like the one on June 10, the Moon is near its farthest point from Earth and appears smaller than the Sun in the sky. As the two align, the Sun appears as a ring of fire surrounding the dark disk of the Moon. On June 10, viewers in parts of Canada, Greenland, and Russia were treated to a full annular eclipse. People in a handful of other locations, including parts of the Caribbean, Asia, Europe, eastern United States, Alaska, and northern Africa, were able to catch a partial solar eclipse, where only part of the Sun is blocked by the Moon, leaving behind a crescent-shaped piece of Sun. EPIC didn’t have too bad a view, either.You can find more photos and videos from EPIC, including a few lunar photobombs, here. || ", "hits": 105 }, { "id": 4910, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4910/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2021-06-01T16:00:00-04:00", "title": "2021 Annular Solar Eclipse", "description": "A visualization of the Moon's shadow during the June 10, 2021 annular solar eclipse showing the antumbra (black oval), penumbra (concentric shaded ovals), and path of annularity (red).

While the far-side of the Sun eventually rotates into view, coverage of the Sun's polar regions is never satisfactory as perspective effects either completely block our view or create a distorted view. We must often resort to computer modeling of these solar polar regions.This visualization presents the Potential Field Source Surface (PFSS) magnetic field model based on solar observations covering the years 2017-2019. One version also presents the 'hole' in our measurements of the solar polar region. The region oscillates in size over the course of the year due to the changing perspective created by the tilt of Earth's orbital plane with the solar equator. In this region, researchers must resort to approximations to build a more complete view of the solar magnetic field.Why is the solar magnetic field in this region important? Because the combined with the outgoing flow of the solar wind, the magnetic field lines from the polar regions curve up, and then back down to near the Sun's equatorial plane, which is still fairly close to the orbital plane of Earth and other planets in our solar system. This gives the Sun's polar magnetic field a significant influence on the space weather impacting Earth and crewed and uncrewed assets around the solar system. || ", "hits": 86 }, { "id": 4736, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4736/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2019-06-27T16:00:00-04:00", "title": "Eclipse solar total de 2019", "description": "(View this in English.) || ", "hits": 43 }, { "id": 4711, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4711/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2019-04-30T12:00:00-04:00", "title": "2019 Total Solar Eclipse", "description": "(Ver esto en español.) || ", "hits": 134 }, { "id": 4712, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4712/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2019-04-30T12:00:00-04:00", "title": "2019 Path of Totality", "description": "This animation shows the Moon's umbra shadow as it passes over Chile and Argentina during the July 2, 2019 total solar eclipse.

Those lucky enough to find themselves in the eclipse’s path saw a fiery ring in the sky. Meanwhile, NASA’s Terra satellite saw the eclipse from space.During an annular eclipse, the moon passes between the sun and Earth, blocking sunlight and casting a shadow on Earth. But the moon is too far from Earth to completely obscure the sun, so the sun peeks out around the moon. Looking down on Earth, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, or MODIS, aboard NASA’s Terra satellite spotted the moon’s shadow over the Atlantic Ocean.Between two to four solar eclipses occur each year. Later this year, on Aug. 21, 2017, a total solar eclipse – in which the moon completely obscures the sun – will cross the United States, from Oregon to South Carolina.

A map of each of these states, created for NASA's official eclipse 2017 website, is presented here. Except for Montana, each map is 8 inches wide (or high) at 300 DPI. The umbra is shown at 3-minute intervals, with times in the local time zone at the umbra center. The duration of totality is outlined in 30-second increments. Interstate highways are blue, other major roads are red, and secondary roads are gray.Some sources list only 12 states for this eclipse, but in fact the path of totality also grazes the southwestern borders of both Montana and Iowa. The Montana part of the path is in a roadless area at the southern end of the Beaverhead Mountains, a range that defines sections of both the Montana-Idaho border and the Continental Divide. The Iowa part of the path is west of Interstate 29 near Hamburg, south of 310 Street, and bounded on the west by the Missouri River. It includes the Lower Hamburg Bend Wildlife Management Area. || ", "hits": 106 }, { "id": 4515, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4515/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2016-12-13T00:00:00-05:00", "title": "2017 Path of Totality", "description": "This visualization closely follows the Moon's umbra shadow as it passes over the United States during the August 21, 2017 total solar eclipse.

The process of reconnection involves the explosive release of energy when the magnetic fields around Earth connect and disconnect. These fields help protect Earth from harmful effects of solar storms and cosmic rays. Magnetic reconnection also occurs throughout the universe and can accelerate particles up to nearly the speed of light.By studying reconnection in this local, natural laboratory, MMS helps us understand reconnection elsewhere as well, such as in the atmosphere of the Sun and other stars, in the vicinity of black holes and neutron stars, and at the boundary between our solar system’s heliosphere and interstellar space.MMS consists of four identical observatories that will provide the first three-dimensional view of magnetic reconnection. The four MMS observatories will fly through reconnection regions in a tight formation in well under a second, so key sensors on each spacecraft are designed to measure the space environment at rates faster than any previous mission.For additional visuals regarding the MMS mission and science, please see our MMS Pre-launch Gallery. || ", "hits": 16 }, { "id": 11720, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/11720/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2014-11-20T00:00:00-05:00", "title": "Sunspot Live Shots 2014", "description": "Canned interviews for Sunspot live shot 11/20/2014 || Alex_Young_Canned_interview_youtube_hq_print.jpg (1024x576) [102.0 KB] || Alex_Young_Canned_interview_youtube_hq_web.png (320x180) [86.5 KB] || Alex_Young_Canned_interview_youtube_hq_thm.png (80x40) [6.8 KB] || Alex_Young_Canned_interview_appletv.m4v (960x540) [86.6 MB] || Alex_Young_Canned_interview_appletv.webmhd.webm (960x540) [40.6 MB] || Alex_Young_Canned_interview_appletv_subtitles.m4v (960x540) [86.7 MB] || Alex_Young_Canned_interview_1280x720.wmv (1280x720) [106.0 MB] || Alex_Young_Canned_interview_youtube_hq.mov (1280x720) [289.0 MB] || Alex_Young_Canned_interview_ipod_lg.m4v (640x360) [34.0 MB] || Alex_Young_Canned_Interview.en_US.srt [4.0 KB] || Alex_Young_Canned_Interview.en_US.vtt [4.0 KB] || Alex_Young_Canned_interview_nasaportal.mov (640x360) [86.1 MB] || Alex_Young_Canned_interview_ipod_sm.mp4 (320x240) [18.0 MB] || Alex_Young_Canned_interview_prores.mov (1280x720) [3.1 GB] || ", "hits": 34 }, { "id": 10965, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/10965/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2012-06-07T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Visions Of Venus", "description": "On June 5-6, 2012, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured beautiful, high-definition images of an astronomical event that occurs only twice every hundred years or so: the transit of Venus, when the planet passes directly between the sun and Earth.
