[Text: 2023 Annular Solar Eclipse, Through The Eyes of NASA.]

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:06,800
Once in a lifetime,

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:13,516
all of us to be experiencing this.

4
00:00:13,516 --> 00:00:15,566
It’s a ballon-ar eclipse!

5
00:00:15,566 --> 00:00:17,883
Oh, yeah!

6
00:00:17,883 --> 00:00:22,016
[Text: Excitement reached new heights as the 2023 annular solar eclipse traveled across the U.S.]

7
00:00:24,483 --> 00:00:27,483
[Text: NASA celebrated with public engagement opportunities.]

8
00:00:30,566 --> 00:00:33,900
Now that the annual eclipse is here,
the fun has just begun.

9
00:00:34,133 --> 00:00:37,566
So today is the official launch of NASA's
Heliophysics Big Year.

10
00:00:37,950 --> 00:00:42,233
Folks, we are moments away from the start of
today's annular eclipse.

11
00:00:42,233 --> 00:00:43,583
That’s going out into deep space.

12
00:00:43,583 --> 00:00:47,483
But these rockets... these just launched actually. Will have three launches

13
00:00:47,483 --> 00:00:51,266
during the eclipse studying
that upper atmosphere, the ionosphere

14
00:00:51,350 --> 00:01:03,150
kind to see
what are the impacts from the Sun.

15
00:01:03,233 --> 00:01:04,916
This is negative Doppler shift

16
00:01:04,916 --> 00:01:15,600
due to the eclipse crossing overhead.

17
00:01:15,683 --> 00:01:16,133
Gina,

18
00:01:16,133 --> 00:01:20,000
I thought I'd have goose bumps
but I’m literally shaking. This is crazy.

19
00:01:20,016 --> 00:01:22,133
I know.

20
00:01:22,133 --> 00:01:24,766
It's about the community and being communal

21
00:01:24,766 --> 00:01:27,966
and just the unity of hearing everybody
cheer.

22
00:01:28,050 --> 00:01:30,900
The Sun touches us all
in so many different ways.

23
00:01:30,900 --> 00:01:34,850
And so the Heliophysics Big Year
is going to help us kind of discover

24
00:01:34,850 --> 00:01:38,883
all the ways the Sun touches us
scientifically, but in other ways as well.
