Ready for the Eclipse?
Are you ready for the April 8, 2024, eclipse? Do you have your solar glasses, your chair, your sunscreen and bug spray? Do of all the spot picked out to watch the solar eclipse? How are you preparing for this rare event? During the eclipse, the shadow of the moon will plunge a narrow strip of land into darkness in the middle of the day. Be sure to plan ahead because, the next total solar eclipse…

Back in time, 2017 NASA Image: SDO Spots Extra Energy in the Sun's Corona
Back in time, 2017 NASA Image: SDO Spots Extra Energy in the Sun’s Corona
This image was taken in 2017. It still blows our mind. SDO Spots Extra Energy in the Sun’s Corona NASA release July 27, 2011 These jets, known as spicules, were captured in an SDO image on April 25, 2010. Combined with the energy from ripples in the magnetic field, they may contain enough energy to power the solar wind that streams from the sun toward Earth at 1.5 million miles per hour. Credit:…

How Will NASA’s Solar Probe Stand Up To The Heat?
We’ve been looking up and wondering about the sun and stars since time immemorial— but up until now, all our observations have been from a distance because of the intense heat our home star generates. That will change soon — thanks to the Parker Space Probe that will launch Aug. 11. This new probe will be able to touch the sun — or at least its outer atmosphere. How can the new solar probe stand…

Rare solar eclipse to provide new insight into sun’s corona
The world will turn a little darker on Friday as the moon wanders across the face of the sun and casts a dark shadow over parts of Europe and the Arctic Ocean. The rare solar eclipse will completely blot out the morning sun on the Faroe Isles, 200 miles (321km) north of Scotland, and in...
