1
00:00:08,770 --> 00:00:05,860
through the eyes of NASA today we start

2
00:00:11,530 --> 00:00:08,780
with a view of the coast of Oregon from

3
00:00:14,620 --> 00:00:11,540
Gulfstream three aircraft out of NASA's

4
00:00:16,749 --> 00:00:14,630
Armstrong Flight Research Center this

5
00:00:20,050 --> 00:00:16,759
coastline is where the Eclipse will soon

6
00:00:22,300 --> 00:00:20,060
begin starting on the west coast then

7
00:00:24,489 --> 00:00:22,310
tracking the Eclipse as it moves to the

8
00:00:28,059 --> 00:00:24,499
east coast we will bring you the

9
00:00:33,220 --> 00:00:28,069
experience of 2017 eclipse across

10
00:00:36,130 --> 00:00:33,230
America we invite you to join us for

11
00:00:43,060 --> 00:00:36,140
exclusive Eclipse programming from coast

12
00:00:45,369 --> 00:00:43,070
to coast across the country welcome to

13
00:00:47,410 --> 00:00:45,379

me either right yeah you're those bells

26
00:01:27,980 --> 00:01:24,990
that means it's Eclipse time right

27
00:01:31,650 --> 00:01:27,990
welcome to NASA TVs broadcast at the

28
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:31,660
2017 solar eclipse I am Karen Fox NASA's

29
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:33,850
communications lead for what we call

30
00:01:39,090 --> 00:01:36,490
Helio physics that's the study of the

31
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:39,100
Sun and how it affects space and I'm

32
00:01:42,540 --> 00:01:40,810
Sean Potter from NASA's Office of

33
00:01:44,670 --> 00:01:42,550
Communications I'm also a certified

34
00:01:46,590 --> 00:01:44,680
broadcast meteorologist so today I'll

35
00:01:49,140 --> 00:01:46,600
also be tracking our eclipse weather for

36
00:01:51,180 --> 00:01:49,150
you and as you can see we are at the

37
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:51,190
College of Charleston in South Carolina

38
00:01:56,100 --> 00:01:54,130
at NASA Eclipse Central from right here

39
00:01:57,660 --> 00:01:56,110
starting at 1:00 p.m. we will be

40
00:02:02,580 --> 00:01:57,670
tracking and covering today's big event

41
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:02,590
Eclipse 2017 today millions of people

42
00:02:07,590 --> 00:02:04,810
across the United States will witness a

43
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:07,600
spectacular event a total solar eclipse

44
00:02:12,530 --> 00:02:10,330
as the moon crosses the face of our Sun

45
00:02:15,270 --> 00:02:12,540
we're going to be bringing you real-time

46
00:02:17,370 --> 00:02:15,280
breathtaking images in locations across

47
00:02:20,070 --> 00:02:17,380
the country NASA TV has cameras

48
00:02:22,199 --> 00:02:20,080
telescopes balloons aircraft and even

49
00:02:24,690 --> 00:02:22,209
spacecraft standing by to bring you

50
00:02:26,750 --> 00:02:24,700
views of this natural phenomenon so get

51
00:02:29,610 --> 00:02:26,760
ready to look through the eyes of NASA

52
00:02:32,250 --> 00:02:29,620
Plus coming up at our 1 p.m. broadcast

53
00:02:34,290 --> 00:02:32,260
we have NASA experts standing by at

54
00:02:35,580 --> 00:02:34,300
locations across the country they're

55
00:02:37,650 --> 00:02:35,590
going to be highlighting views of the

56
00:02:40,199 --> 00:02:37,660
Eclipse and also pointing out how NASA

57
00:02:42,540 --> 00:02:40,209
is using the Eclipse to study not only

58
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:42,550
the Sun but also our earth and its

59
00:02:45,930 --> 00:02:43,090
atmosphere

60
00:02:47,790 --> 00:02:45,940
now all of North America will experience

61
00:02:50,430 --> 00:02:47,800
a partial eclipse that's where the moon

62
00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:50,440
blocks only part of the Sun a total

63
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:52,510
solar eclipse is going to sweep across

64
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:54,730
the nation along a 70 mile wide path

65
00:02:59,460 --> 00:02:56,770
arching from Oregon to South Carolina

66
00:03:01,530 --> 00:02:59,470
this is called the path of totality and

67
00:03:03,540 --> 00:03:01,540
people along that path are going to

68
00:03:06,570 --> 00:03:03,550
experience the glorious sight of a fully

69
00:03:08,310 --> 00:03:06,580
eclipsed Sun but first I want to take

70
00:03:10,470 --> 00:03:08,320
just a moment to remind you of some very

71
00:03:12,750 --> 00:03:10,480
important Eclipse safety tips first of

72
00:03:15,210 --> 00:03:12,760
all never ever look directly at the Sun

73
00:03:17,250 --> 00:03:15,220
it's not safe for your eyes and could

74
00:03:18,810 --> 00:03:17,260
cause damage it's really important and

75
00:03:20,670 --> 00:03:18,820
we're gonna keep sharing safety tips

76
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:20,680
throughout the broadcast but for now

77
00:03:24,090 --> 00:03:22,329
let's take a look at today is whether

78
00:03:25,470 --> 00:03:24,100
that's great ok so what we're gonna do

79
00:03:28,589 --> 00:03:25,480
right now is we're gonna show you an

80
00:03:30,449 --> 00:03:28,599
from the ghost 16 satellite this is the

81
00:03:32,370 --> 00:03:30,459
latest and greatest weather satellite

82
00:03:33,870 --> 00:03:32,380
that NASA built and launched for our

83
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:33,880
partners at NOAA the National Oceanic

84
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:36,130
and Atmospheric Administration just last

85
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:37,060
year and it's gonna revolutionize

86
00:03:40,949 --> 00:03:39,130
weather forecast and you can see it's a

87
00:03:43,140 --> 00:03:40,959
very detailed picture of cloud cover

88
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:43,150
across the country and actually for the

89
00:03:46,380 --> 00:03:44,410
path of totality which remember

90
00:03:48,050 --> 00:03:46,390
stretches from Oregon across the

91
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:48,060
midsection through Nebraska and Missouri

92
00:03:53,220 --> 00:03:50,650
into parts of Kentucky and Tennessee and

93
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:53,230
then exiting the u.s. here in Charleston

94
00:03:56,850 --> 00:03:54,610
looks pretty good except for the

95
00:03:59,759 --> 00:03:56,860
midsection of the country maybe Nebraska

96
00:04:01,199 --> 00:03:59,769
and parts of Missouri might see some

97
00:04:02,970 --> 00:04:01,209
cloud cover and then as you get here

98
00:04:04,770 --> 00:04:02,980
toward the coast and Charleston as we

99
00:04:06,150 --> 00:04:04,780
look up we do see some clouds so we'll

100
00:04:07,949 --> 00:04:06,160
keep an eye on that and have more for

101
00:04:10,860 --> 00:04:07,959
you later in the broadcast crossing

102
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:10,870
fingers for weather year and eclipse is

103
00:04:16,170 --> 00:04:14,170
is something called a transit it's a

104
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:16,180
transit is when one celestial body

105
00:04:20,909 --> 00:04:18,310
appears to move across the face of

106
00:04:23,010 --> 00:04:20,919
another celestial body and today that is

107
00:04:25,020 --> 00:04:23,020
our Moon moving across the face of the

108
00:04:28,230 --> 00:04:25,030
Sun and it's almost time for that

109
00:04:30,870 --> 00:04:28,240
transit to begin 12:05 p.m. Eastern Time

110
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:30,880
that's 9:05 a.m. Pacific time will mark

111
00:04:33,690 --> 00:04:33,250
the beginning of the Eclipse over US

112
00:04:36,779 --> 00:04:33,700
soil

113
00:04:38,850 --> 00:04:36,789
so let's go right now to Salem Oregon to

114
00:04:41,310 --> 00:04:38,860
hopefully catch ugly there's a large

115
00:04:43,770 --> 00:04:41,320
celebration underway coordinated by the

116
00:04:45,659 --> 00:04:43,780
Borah Museum of Science and Industry hi

117
00:04:49,110 --> 00:04:45,669
Jessi carpenter from NASA's Ames

118
00:04:50,909 --> 00:04:49,120
Research Center is standing by Corona is

119
00:04:52,980 --> 00:04:50,919
so hot that's like if you were standing

120
00:04:56,850 --> 00:04:52,990
next to a fireplace and as you moved

121
00:04:58,740 --> 00:04:56,860
away it got hotter which is crazy but we

122
00:05:02,330 --> 00:04:58,750
know that it's from those dynamic

123
00:05:05,939 --> 00:05:02,340
magnetic fields that we're seeing here

124
00:05:12,779 --> 00:05:05,949
okay hi I just got word that we haven't

125
00:05:19,159 --> 00:05:12,789
started okay okay I guess we're going

126
00:05:22,589 --> 00:05:19,169
from the top all right thank you to Ames

127
00:05:24,659 --> 00:05:22,599
thanks Jesse and so we begin our eclipse

128
00:05:26,519 --> 00:05:24,669
coverage also coming to us from Oregon

129
00:05:29,059 --> 00:05:26,529
is this stunning image from a telescope

130
00:05:31,980 --> 00:05:29,069
located in the town of Madras in

131
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:31,990
partnership with NASA the Exploratorium

132
00:05:35,459 --> 00:05:34,090
is providing telescope feeds available

133
00:05:37,379 --> 00:05:35,469
as a livestream

134
00:05:38,489 --> 00:05:37,389
this makes spectacular views available

135
00:05:40,709 --> 00:05:38,499
to everyone

136
00:05:42,329 --> 00:05:40,719
now the Exploratorium is a public

137
00:05:44,610 --> 00:05:42,339
learning laboratory that explores the

138
00:05:47,010 --> 00:05:44,620
world through science art and human

139
00:05:50,309 --> 00:05:47,020
perception let's talk a little more

140
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:50,319
about that science that and what it is

141
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:51,370
that we're actually gonna be learning

142
00:05:55,649 --> 00:05:53,770
today a lot of people think that space

143
00:05:57,689 --> 00:05:55,659
is completely empty right you have a lot

144
00:05:59,610 --> 00:05:57,699
of people and it's not quite true we

145
00:06:03,029 --> 00:05:59,620
actually live in the extended atmosphere

146
00:06:05,939 --> 00:06:03,039
of an active star Helio physics is the

147
00:06:08,100 --> 00:06:05,949
study of our star the Sun and its

148
00:06:10,409 --> 00:06:08,110
effects on space so the Sun sends out

149
00:06:12,869 --> 00:06:10,419
solar material and it helps drive this

150
00:06:14,969 --> 00:06:12,879
constantly writhing magnetic system

151
00:06:17,070 --> 00:06:14,979
throughout space and this system

152
00:06:19,230 --> 00:06:17,080
surrounds earth and the planet and

153
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:19,240
extends far out into the solar system

154
00:06:23,610 --> 00:06:21,849
so NASA studies this system not only to

155
00:06:25,469 --> 00:06:23,620
help us understand more about our place

156
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:25,479
in the universe but it also helps

157
00:06:29,939 --> 00:06:27,490
protect our technology and astronauts in

158
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:29,949
space so now let's go to Carbondale

159
00:06:34,230 --> 00:06:32,289
Illinois where NASA edge is standing by

160
00:06:36,179 --> 00:06:34,240
to tell us more actually we're gonna

161
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:36,189
stay right here at a clip central in

162
00:06:39,899 --> 00:06:38,289
Charleston so Karen I'm gonna send it

163
00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:39,909
back over to you so this is a good time

164
00:06:44,939 --> 00:06:41,649
to take another moment to talk about

165
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:44,949
safety now first and foremost never look

166
00:06:49,679 --> 00:06:47,770
directly at the Sun it's not safe and it

167
00:06:51,749 --> 00:06:49,689
can cause damage but there are lots of

168
00:06:54,029 --> 00:06:51,759
ways to safely view the Eclipse without

169
00:06:57,929 --> 00:06:54,039
looking directly at the Sun be sure to

170
00:06:59,999 --> 00:06:57,939
visit Eclipse 2017 nasa.gov for detailed

171
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:00,009
instructions and advice now you may have

172
00:07:04,649 --> 00:07:02,289
seen these eclipse classes right got my

173
00:07:07,739 --> 00:07:04,659
pair they are designed with special

174
00:07:09,989 --> 00:07:07,749
purpose solar filter so ordinary

175
00:07:12,290 --> 00:07:09,999
sunglasses even very dark ones are not

176
00:07:13,790 --> 00:07:12,300
safe for looking at the Sun

177
00:07:15,830 --> 00:07:13,800
no even if you don't have glasses you

178
00:07:17,990 --> 00:07:15,840
have options for one thing you can share

179
00:07:21,110 --> 00:07:18,000
glasses right this event you have to

180
00:07:25,070 --> 00:07:21,120
take my glass here this event lasts for

181
00:07:26,749 --> 00:07:25,080
hours now you can also make a pinhole

182
00:07:28,730 --> 00:07:26,759
projector is a simple you can literally

183
00:07:31,129 --> 00:07:28,740
just take a piece of paper you take a

184
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:31,139
pencil and you punch a hole in it you

185
00:07:34,249 --> 00:07:32,490
put the Sun behind you

186
00:07:36,439 --> 00:07:34,259
you hold up your paper down like this

187
00:07:37,670 --> 00:07:36,449
and you're gonna deal with asti and

188
00:07:40,309 --> 00:07:37,680
image of the eclipse

189
00:07:42,379 --> 00:07:40,319
on the ground or maybe on a on a wall if

190
00:07:44,990 --> 00:07:42,389
you project it onto a wall it's really

191
00:07:46,430 --> 00:07:45,000
simple to watch the Sun safely lots of

192
00:07:48,379 --> 00:07:46,440
options available to you no matter where

193
00:07:50,149 --> 00:07:48,389
you are there's lots more information

194
00:07:54,350 --> 00:07:50,159
about how to watch an eclipse again that

195
00:07:56,809 --> 00:07:54,360
website address is Eclipse 2017 nasa.gov

196
00:07:58,999 --> 00:07:56,819
it's the only time the only time that's

197
00:08:00,589 --> 00:07:59,009
safe to take these glasses off when

198
00:08:02,629 --> 00:08:00,599
you're looking at the Eclipse is if

199
00:08:04,490 --> 00:08:02,639
you're in the path of totality during

200
00:08:06,830 --> 00:08:04,500
the brief a few minutes that the moon

201
00:08:09,550 --> 00:08:06,840
completely blocks the Sun let's watch

202
00:09:28,780 --> 00:08:09,560
this video to learn more

203
00:09:35,540 --> 00:09:33,170
on August 21st 2017 the earth will cross

204
00:09:38,870 --> 00:09:35,550
the shadow of the moon creating a total

205
00:09:41,740 --> 00:09:38,880
solar eclipse eclipse has happened about

206
00:09:44,330 --> 00:09:41,750
every six months but this one is special

207
00:09:47,450 --> 00:09:44,340
for the first time in almost 40 years

208
00:09:50,110 --> 00:09:47,460
the path of the moon's shadow passes

209
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:50,120
through the continental United States

210
00:09:55,220 --> 00:09:52,290
everyone here will see the moon at least

211
00:09:58,210 --> 00:09:55,230
partially blocked the Sun people within

212
00:10:02,270 --> 00:09:58,220
the path of totality shown here in red

213
00:10:03,980 --> 00:10:02,280
will witness a total solar eclipse for

214
00:10:05,540 --> 00:10:03,990
them the moon will cover the Sun

215
00:10:08,030 --> 00:10:05,550
entirely

216
00:10:11,329 --> 00:10:08,040
the sky will become Twilight the air

217
00:10:12,949 --> 00:10:11,339
will cool the stars will appear and the

218
00:10:15,500 --> 00:10:12,959
black disk of the moon will be

219
00:10:17,810 --> 00:10:15,510
surrounded by the pale streaming halo of

220
00:10:20,310 --> 00:10:17,820
the Sun's corona

221
00:10:22,410 --> 00:10:20,320
totality will last for two minutes or a

222
00:10:24,660 --> 00:10:22,420
little more and it would be visible

223
00:10:28,470 --> 00:10:24,670
along a swath that crosses the continent

224
00:10:32,730 --> 00:10:28,480
from Oregon to South Carolina for some

225
00:10:38,710 --> 00:10:32,740
it will be the spectacle of a lifetime

226
00:11:33,880 --> 00:10:51,480
[Music]

227
00:11:35,620 --> 00:11:33,890
coming up during our 1 p.m. broadcast we

228
00:11:37,780 --> 00:11:35,630
will have a live demonstration with a

229
00:11:39,190 --> 00:11:37,790
pinhole viewer and more ways to safely

230
00:11:41,230 --> 00:11:39,200
view today's eclipse

231
00:11:43,420 --> 00:11:41,240
NASA TV is gonna be bringing you

232
00:11:45,190 --> 00:11:43,430
real-time breathtaking images in

233
00:11:47,319 --> 00:11:45,200
locations across the country we have

234
00:11:49,660 --> 00:11:47,329
cameras and telescopes balloons an

235
00:11:51,699 --> 00:11:49,670
aircraft and even spare spacecraft

236
00:11:53,500 --> 00:11:51,709
standing by to bring you views of this

237
00:11:54,850 --> 00:11:53,510
natural phenomenon got it all I can't

238
00:11:56,860 --> 00:11:54,860
wait but right now let's take a minute

239
00:11:58,990 --> 00:11:56,870
to learn about one of the aircraft being

240
00:12:01,810 --> 00:11:59,000
used today NASA's Armstrong Flight

241
00:12:03,850 --> 00:12:01,820
Research Center operates a Gulfstream 3

242
00:12:06,519 --> 00:12:03,860
airplane for aerodynamics research and

243
00:12:08,740 --> 00:12:06,529
mission support today their flight path

244
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:08,750
is taking them over the Pacific Ocean to

245
00:12:12,850 --> 00:12:10,850
see the very first view of the total

246
00:12:14,530 --> 00:12:12,860
solar eclipse as it begins to cross the

247
00:12:18,540 --> 00:12:14,540
country let's watch this video to learn

248
00:12:23,530 --> 00:12:21,550
NASA's g3 aircraft out of Armstrong

249
00:12:26,260 --> 00:12:23,540
Flight Research Center will feed the

250
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:26,270
world live video coverage of the Eclipse

251
00:12:31,210 --> 00:12:28,130
from the west coast of Oregon as it

252
00:12:33,069 --> 00:12:31,220
begins its path across America so we

253
00:12:36,460 --> 00:12:33,079
hope to bring that view through the eyes

254
00:12:38,470 --> 00:12:36,470
of NASA we go out there and modify

255
00:12:41,410 --> 00:12:38,480
aircraft all the time so we can go out

256
00:12:46,510 --> 00:12:41,420
there and do NASA science it's what we

257
00:12:51,050 --> 00:12:49,070
in the case of this aircraft we've gone

258
00:12:53,540 --> 00:12:51,060
out there and taken the normal passenger

259
00:12:56,540 --> 00:12:53,550
windows and replace them with optical

260
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:56,550
grade windows plus put in its lemon tree

261
00:13:01,820 --> 00:12:57,930
system so we can go out there and

262
00:13:05,060 --> 00:13:01,830
provide real-time video with these

263
00:13:07,220 --> 00:13:05,070
optical gray windows it allows our photo

264
00:13:11,390 --> 00:13:07,230
and video teams to go out there and

265
00:13:13,460 --> 00:13:11,400
capture high-resolution video at 35,000

266
00:13:16,220 --> 00:13:13,470
feet to present to the world this rare

267
00:13:18,380 --> 00:13:16,230
event and using this event to go out

268
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:18,390
there and educate people I think is an

269
00:13:24,860 --> 00:13:22,890
exciting proposition all right just

270
00:13:27,019 --> 00:13:24,870
about the term would be almost from a

271
00:13:29,030 --> 00:13:27,029
pilot's perspective we want to make sure

272
00:13:30,350 --> 00:13:29,040
we're to the right spot and also there

273
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:30,360
are limitations for what our

274
00:13:35,870 --> 00:13:33,450
photographers can do we roll out here we

275
00:13:37,790 --> 00:13:35,880
pushed it as far west as we could go so

276
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:37,800
we get that as early as possible that is

277
00:13:42,829 --> 00:13:39,810
low in the horizon as possible and that

278
00:13:43,310 --> 00:13:42,839
put us at about about Lincoln City

279
00:13:45,530 --> 00:13:43,320
Oregon

280
00:13:47,990 --> 00:13:45,540
which is the farthest west point right

281
00:13:49,790 --> 00:13:48,000
on the west coast so we set up a holding

282
00:13:51,949 --> 00:13:49,800
pattern or a racetrack pattern right

283
00:13:55,010 --> 00:13:51,959
over Lincoln City we know exactly the

284
00:13:57,140 --> 00:13:55,020
width of the totality swath with that we

285
00:13:58,699 --> 00:13:57,150
did some mission planning again to make

286
00:14:00,530 --> 00:13:58,709
sure we know what the stall speeds are

287
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:00,540
the slowest speeds the safest speeds to

288
00:14:06,079 --> 00:14:02,730
fly the speeds that will give us the

289
00:14:08,180 --> 00:14:06,089
most time inside the totality region we

290
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:08,190
can slip the airplane that'll give us

291
00:14:12,650 --> 00:14:09,690
some more Bank angle which lets our

292
00:14:14,390 --> 00:14:12,660
cameras see a little bit higher so all

293
00:14:16,699 --> 00:14:14,400
of those kinds of things were what went

294
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:16,709
into the from a pilot standpoint

295
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:18,690
planning this out all right you guys

296
00:14:22,220 --> 00:14:20,370
ready to turn you to get for a partial I

297
00:14:24,260 --> 00:14:22,230
think it makes us proud of what we do

298
00:14:25,670 --> 00:14:24,270
and that were able to share it with with

299
00:14:28,070 --> 00:14:25,680
everybody around the world in this case

300
00:14:33,300 --> 00:14:28,080
do do the modification for the airplane

301
00:14:38,369 --> 00:14:36,329
great I can't wait to see what that g3

302
00:14:40,590 --> 00:14:38,379
is gonna show us today that was amazing

303
00:14:43,050 --> 00:14:40,600
and it's gonna be an incredible view the

304
00:14:44,610 --> 00:14:43,060
first view of the solar eclipse as it's

305
00:14:46,499 --> 00:14:44,620
literally crossing into the United

306
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:46,509
States so basically it is off the west

307
00:14:50,670 --> 00:14:48,610
coast right now so it's getting a view

308
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:50,680
of the Eclipse before we even get a view

309
00:14:55,110 --> 00:14:52,930
from land right partial our class and

310
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:55,120
that g3 it's one of just one of a fleet

311
00:15:00,059 --> 00:14:57,610
of NASA aircraft and observation

312
00:15:02,549 --> 00:15:00,069
platforms that we have we've got as we

313
00:15:04,049 --> 00:15:02,559
mentioned earlier satellites both ours

314
00:15:06,179 --> 00:15:04,059
and some from some of our partner

315
00:15:07,739 --> 00:15:06,189
agencies aircraft they're balloons that

316
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:07,749
we've got and we'll be telling you more

317
00:15:11,579 --> 00:15:09,730
about that and our 1:00 p.m. broadcast

318
00:15:14,699 --> 00:15:11,589
as well but we've got you covered here

319
00:15:16,110 --> 00:15:14,709
it's in terms of you know eclipse not

320
00:15:18,749 --> 00:15:16,120
only looking at from the ground looking

321
00:15:20,249 --> 00:15:18,759
at it from from the sky looking at it

322
00:15:21,449 --> 00:15:20,259
from even from space and really get a

323
00:15:22,860 --> 00:15:21,459
little preview of that great you know

324
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:22,870
what I just heard we bought the Salem

325
00:15:26,610 --> 00:15:24,610
Oregon a clip a warning this is the

326
00:15:31,439 --> 00:15:26,620
partial transit and we're going to the

327
00:15:33,540 --> 00:15:31,449
g3 now to see what they dream we've got

328
00:15:35,999 --> 00:15:33,550
an exclusive feed as they fly over the

329
00:15:37,769 --> 00:15:36,009
Pacific Ocean and Kevin roar from NASA's

330
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:37,779
Armstrong Flight Research Center is

331
00:15:46,199 --> 00:15:44,129
okay all right you're gonna be up soon

332
00:15:47,909 --> 00:15:46,209
you can see and we actually monitored

333
00:15:49,229 --> 00:15:47,919
here on set in Charleston so we can

334
00:15:51,179 --> 00:15:49,239
actually see what they're seeing live

335
00:15:53,519 --> 00:15:51,189
and you can see the transit beginning as

336
00:15:55,829 --> 00:15:53,529
the moon is just starting to eclipse the

337
00:15:57,179 --> 00:15:55,839
Sun is that incredible image Karen no

338
00:15:58,710 --> 00:15:57,189
it's beautiful and so just to be clear

339
00:16:00,989 --> 00:15:58,720
what you see on the screen right now

340
00:16:03,869 --> 00:16:00,999
right is that partial transit the

341
00:16:05,460 --> 00:16:03,879
partial transit can take the partial

342
00:16:07,019 --> 00:16:05,470
eclipse can take you know up to three

343
00:16:09,210 --> 00:16:07,029
hours a little bit longer in any one

344
00:16:11,339 --> 00:16:09,220
location whereas the total eclipse

345
00:16:12,839 --> 00:16:11,349
that's only about a minute a half two

346
00:16:14,759 --> 00:16:12,849
minutes right what a lot of people talk

347
00:16:17,009 --> 00:16:14,769
about the totality only lasts a maybe at

348
00:16:19,109 --> 00:16:17,019
most two minutes or so but sometimes

349
00:16:21,089 --> 00:16:19,119
people don't realize that in terms of

350
00:16:22,589 --> 00:16:21,099
the entire eclipse from the very

351
00:16:24,419 --> 00:16:22,599
beginning of when the moon starts to

352
00:16:29,999 --> 00:16:24,429
cross over the Sun surface until the end

353
00:16:31,859 --> 00:16:30,009
is actually much longer okay okay

354
00:16:33,089 --> 00:16:31,869
so so let's talk a little bit more about

355
00:16:34,559 --> 00:16:33,099
these eclipses cuz I want to tell you

356
00:16:35,999 --> 00:16:34,569
one of things that I think is one of the

357
00:16:38,489 --> 00:16:36,009
cool things about total solar eclipses

358
00:16:40,469 --> 00:16:38,499
we're the only planet in the entire

359
00:16:42,179 --> 00:16:40,479
solar system that can see them you only

360
00:16:43,979 --> 00:16:42,189
want the only one earth is the only

361
00:16:46,649 --> 00:16:43,989
planet where the moon appears to be the

362
00:16:48,059 --> 00:16:46,659
same size in the sky as the foot and and

363
00:16:49,019 --> 00:16:48,069
that's really just a great cosmic

364
00:16:50,819 --> 00:16:49,029
coincidence

365
00:16:53,129 --> 00:16:50,829
that's right Karen the Sun believe it or

366
00:16:55,590 --> 00:16:53,139
not is about 400 times wider than the

367
00:16:57,899 --> 00:16:55,600
moon but it's also about 400 times

368
00:16:59,639 --> 00:16:57,909
farther away now that geometry means

369
00:17:00,449 --> 00:16:59,649
that when they line up just right as

370
00:17:02,699 --> 00:17:00,459
they are today

371
00:17:05,579 --> 00:17:02,709
the moon blocks the sun's entire surface

372
00:17:07,379 --> 00:17:05,589
creating a total solar eclipse let's

373
00:17:09,810 --> 00:17:07,389
take a moment to learn more about that

374
00:17:14,550 --> 00:17:09,820
geometry

375
00:17:16,650 --> 00:17:14,560
a solar eclipse occurs when the moon

376
00:17:18,990 --> 00:17:16,660
moves between the Earth and the Sun

377
00:17:21,540 --> 00:17:19,000
blocks the sun's light and casts a

378
00:17:23,370 --> 00:17:21,550
shadow on the earth when the moon

379
00:17:26,670 --> 00:17:23,380
completely covers the bright disk of the

380
00:17:28,350 --> 00:17:26,680
Sun that's a total solar eclipse and it

381
00:17:31,500 --> 00:17:28,360
happens roughly every year and a half

382
00:17:33,900 --> 00:17:31,510
somewhere on earth a partial solar puts

383
00:17:37,650 --> 00:17:33,910
more common happening at least twice a

384
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:37,660
year a lunar eclipse on the other hand

385
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:39,490
is where the moon moves behind the earth

386
00:17:44,100 --> 00:17:41,890
so it's now the earth blocking the sun's

387
00:17:47,370 --> 00:17:44,110
light on the moon creating a shadow on

388
00:17:49,050 --> 00:17:47,380
it with a red tint the easy way to

389
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:49,060
remember the difference is to remember

390
00:17:53,850 --> 00:17:51,490
what gets darker with the solar eclipse

391
00:17:57,690 --> 00:17:53,860
the Sun gets started and during a lunar

392
00:17:59,460 --> 00:17:57,700
eclipse the moon does a solar eclipse is

393
00:18:01,590 --> 00:17:59,470
a rare event that not many get to see

394
00:18:04,710 --> 00:18:01,600
because the moon's shadow is relatively

395
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:04,720
small this limits the locations on earth

396
00:18:09,150 --> 00:18:06,970
they get to see it you have to be on the

397
00:18:11,850 --> 00:18:09,160
sunny side of the planet and you have to

398
00:18:13,830 --> 00:18:11,860
be in the path of the moon's shadow so

399
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:13,840
if you find your area in the path of

400
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:15,970
totality one year you've hit the jackpot

401
00:18:20,220 --> 00:18:18,490
because on average that same spot on

402
00:18:24,350 --> 00:18:20,230
earth will only get to see a solar

403
00:18:26,630 --> 00:18:24,360
eclipse every 375 years

404
00:18:28,970 --> 00:18:26,640
during a solar eclipse moon casts a

405
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:28,980
shadow with two parts the Umbra and

406
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:31,650
penumbra the moon's Umbra is part of the

407
00:18:36,530 --> 00:18:33,450
moon shadow where the entire Sun is

408
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:36,540
blocked by the moon in space it's a cone

409
00:18:41,900 --> 00:18:39,210
extending some 400,000 kilometers behind

410
00:18:44,360 --> 00:18:41,910
the moon it's when the small end of this

411
00:18:47,990 --> 00:18:44,370
cone hits the earth that we experience a

412
00:18:49,940 --> 00:18:48,000
total solar eclipse most Eclipse maps

413
00:18:52,070 --> 00:18:49,950
depicting the pan will show you a circle

414
00:18:54,470 --> 00:18:52,080
representing the shadow of the Moon but

415
00:18:56,659 --> 00:18:54,480
in actuality the true shape of the Umbra

416
00:18:59,150 --> 00:18:56,669
is more like an irregular polygon with

417
00:19:01,760 --> 00:18:59,160
slightly curved edges this is because

418
00:19:03,289 --> 00:19:01,770
the moon isn't a perfect circle it has

419
00:19:05,539 --> 00:19:03,299
mountains and valleys on its surface

420
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:05,549
which all affect the passing sunlight

421
00:19:09,650 --> 00:19:07,970
subsequent shape of its shadow and

422
00:19:11,060 --> 00:19:09,660
scientists now have a greater

423
00:19:13,220 --> 00:19:11,070
understanding of the shape of the moon

424
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:13,230
surface thanks to NASA's Lunar

425
00:19:17,690 --> 00:19:15,690
Reconnaissance Orbiter the unprecedented

426
00:19:20,659 --> 00:19:17,700
level of detail on the topographic maps

427
00:19:22,460 --> 00:19:20,669
photos and other data sets has allowed

428
00:19:24,470 --> 00:19:22,470
us to more precisely pinpoint the

429
00:19:28,490 --> 00:19:24,480
regions on earth falling within the path

430
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:28,500
of totality of a solar eclipse so if you

431
00:19:32,390 --> 00:19:29,970
get the chance to witness a solar

432
00:19:39,409 --> 00:19:32,400
eclipse always remember that our little

433
00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:39,419
moon plays a role that's quite large wow

434
00:19:47,510 --> 00:19:44,700
so now we've got a live shot from that

435
00:19:49,650 --> 00:19:47,520
g3 aircraft looking out the window

436
00:19:51,780 --> 00:19:49,660
everybody begins we're gonna be seeing

437
00:19:54,870 --> 00:19:51,790
the Eclipse live from this g3 it's

438
00:19:58,289 --> 00:19:54,880
35,000 feet up in the air over the

439
00:20:00,419 --> 00:19:58,299
Pacific Ocean as the Eclipse begins very

440
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:00,429
interesting to see how they had to sort

441
00:20:06,630 --> 00:20:03,330
of retrofitted with the special glass or

442
00:20:08,789 --> 00:20:06,640
get the best viewing possible and I'm

443
00:20:10,650 --> 00:20:08,799
sure it's an exciting a moment up there

444
00:20:12,690 --> 00:20:10,660
I can only imagine what the folks inside

445
00:20:14,220 --> 00:20:12,700
the chief we are feeling right now great

446
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:14,230
and coming up we will have some live

447
00:20:19,740 --> 00:20:17,410
interviews from the g3 and now we are

448
00:20:22,020 --> 00:20:19,750
once again looking at the eclipse from

449
00:20:23,820 --> 00:20:22,030
Salem Oregon so to all the people who

450
00:20:25,110 --> 00:20:23,830
are out there in Oregon this is what

451
00:20:28,950 --> 00:20:25,120
they are getting to see right now that

452
00:20:30,330 --> 00:20:28,960
first little glimpse of the moon it

453
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:30,340
almost looks like a bite out of a cookie

454
00:20:34,590 --> 00:20:32,650
right well first limb to the moon

455
00:20:36,630 --> 00:20:34,600
passing in front of the Sun now Salem is

456
00:20:39,450 --> 00:20:36,640
in the path of totality so they will

457
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:39,460
have a chance to see the full Eclipse

458
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:41,290
and they've got great weather from what

459
00:20:45,090 --> 00:20:43,450
I can tell and certainly a good shot

460
00:20:47,130 --> 00:20:45,100
from this telescope they're on the

461
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:47,140
ground looking at the Eclipse it's

462
00:20:51,570 --> 00:20:49,570
amazing and just a reminder for folks we

463
00:20:54,870 --> 00:20:51,580
can't say it enough stress it enough

464
00:20:56,940 --> 00:20:54,880
the safety aspect if you are anywhere

465
00:20:59,130 --> 00:20:56,950
whether in the path of totality or not

466
00:21:00,780 --> 00:20:59,140
you've got to have those glasses even if

467
00:21:05,740 --> 00:21:00,790
you're looking at a partial eclipse even

468
00:21:10,220 --> 00:21:08,450
when depicting an eclipse path data

469
00:21:12,650 --> 00:21:10,230
visualizers have traditionally

470
00:21:15,110 --> 00:21:12,660
represented the moon's shadow as an oval

471
00:21:15,620 --> 00:21:15,120
but for today's Eclipse for the first

472
00:21:17,900 --> 00:21:15,630
time

473
00:21:19,550 --> 00:21:17,910
NASA visualizers were able to show that

474
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:19,560
the moon's shadow is actually better

475
00:21:23,510 --> 00:21:21,930
represented as a polygon and this for

476
00:21:25,490 --> 00:21:23,520
complicated shape is based on several

477
00:21:27,890 --> 00:21:25,500
NASA observations including information

478
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:27,900
from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter

479
00:21:32,450 --> 00:21:29,850
which is currently orbiting the moon as

480
00:21:34,220 --> 00:21:32,460
we speak right now the spacecraft has a

481
00:21:36,830 --> 00:21:34,230
unique view of the mountains and valleys

482
00:21:38,900 --> 00:21:36,840
that form the moon's jagged horizon

483
00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:38,910
let's learn more now about mapping

484
00:21:52,910 --> 00:21:41,130
today's Eclipse using NASA's unique data

485
00:21:56,270 --> 00:21:52,920
sets what we're talking about is several

486
00:21:58,640 --> 00:21:56,280
visualizations of the path of the moon

487
00:22:00,680 --> 00:21:58,650
shadow during the Eclipse in 2017

488
00:22:03,650 --> 00:22:00,690
everything in it is driven by the data

489
00:22:06,380 --> 00:22:03,660
so the color of the ground the position

490
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:06,390
of the path of totality the lighting

491
00:22:11,330 --> 00:22:08,250
from the sun the sun angle all of those

492
00:22:12,950 --> 00:22:11,340
are things that are based on data a lot

493
00:22:15,380 --> 00:22:12,960
of NASA products were used to create

494
00:22:17,120 --> 00:22:15,390
this visualization I used the Lunar

495
00:22:19,730 --> 00:22:17,130
Reconnaissance Orbiter the laser

496
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:19,740
altimetry data from that which gives us

497
00:22:24,290 --> 00:22:22,410
a digital map of the elevations on the

498
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:24,300
moon before the earth I used something

499
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:26,490
called SRTM this was a Raider that was

500
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:28,170
flown on the Space Shuttle for the

501
00:22:34,430 --> 00:22:30,930
positions of the the earth the moon and

502
00:22:37,310 --> 00:22:34,440
the Sun I used a JPL ephemeris and

503
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:37,320
femoris is just a list of positions but

504
00:22:40,970 --> 00:22:38,970
it's the most it's the most accurate

505
00:22:42,830 --> 00:22:40,980
tabulation of those positions this

506
00:22:47,090 --> 00:22:42,840
visualization is unique because it shows

507
00:22:48,860 --> 00:22:47,100
the effect of both the irregular edge of

508
00:22:51,050 --> 00:22:48,870
the moon the limb of the moon we call it

509
00:22:52,530 --> 00:22:51,060
and the elevation of the observer now

510
00:22:54,750 --> 00:22:52,540
we've known for a long time

511
00:22:57,360 --> 00:22:54,760
that the elevation of the observer

512
00:22:59,940 --> 00:22:57,370
effects where the shadow is we've also

513
00:23:02,730 --> 00:22:59,950
known that the mountains and the valleys

514
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:02,740
along the edge of the moon effect the

515
00:23:07,860 --> 00:23:05,050
shadow so you may have seen on Eclipse

516
00:23:10,590 --> 00:23:07,870
maps in the past that the image of the

517
00:23:13,050 --> 00:23:10,600
Umbra that shape of the shadow in the

518
00:23:14,580 --> 00:23:13,060
earth is drawn as a smooth over but we

519
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:14,590
know that the moon isn't smooth around

520
00:23:19,530 --> 00:23:16,930
the edge of the moon we have these sort

521
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:19,540
of jagged peaks and valleys and a peak

522
00:23:23,310 --> 00:23:21,610
to block the Sun a little bit earlier

523
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:23,320
than you thought and a valley can let

524
00:23:27,780 --> 00:23:25,810
the Sun in a few seconds longer than you

525
00:23:30,510 --> 00:23:27,790
thought the combined effect of these

526
00:23:32,610 --> 00:23:30,520
peaks and valleys is to create the shape

527
00:23:34,890 --> 00:23:32,620
that's not really an oval it's more like

528
00:23:36,930 --> 00:23:34,900
a polygon but it hasn't actually been

529
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:36,940
seen in exactly this way before

530
00:23:42,990 --> 00:23:40,210
where we calculate those circumstances

531
00:23:45,990 --> 00:23:43,000
for every point on the map and draw that

532
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:46,000
shape totality is that is that two

533
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:48,010
minutes window or two and a half minutes

534
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:50,770
when the moon completely covers the Sun

535
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:53,410
the sudden darkness of totality is just

536
00:23:58,020 --> 00:23:55,450
something that a lot of people can't

537
00:24:00,180 --> 00:23:58,030
compare to anything else I love the idea

538
00:24:02,610 --> 00:24:00,190
that I'm giving this kind of map to

539
00:24:04,770 --> 00:24:02,620
other people and especially that it's

540
00:24:06,540 --> 00:24:04,780
more detailed and more accurate for the

541
00:24:10,860 --> 00:24:06,550
people are actually in the right place

542
00:24:12,420 --> 00:24:10,870
to see it so there's a lot of great

543
00:24:14,130 --> 00:24:12,430
science being had done today

544
00:24:17,250 --> 00:24:14,140
and this eclipse provides an opportunity

545
00:24:20,070 --> 00:24:17,260
for researchers to test innovation for

546
00:24:22,650 --> 00:24:20,080
future NASA missions to NASA scientist

547
00:24:24,090 --> 00:24:22,660
Matt gopalswamy and his team pursue

548
00:24:27,039 --> 00:24:24,100
eclipses because when the moon

549
00:24:29,289 --> 00:24:27,049
[Applause]

550
00:24:31,899 --> 00:24:29,299
it reveals the corona which is our stars

551
00:24:33,909 --> 00:24:31,909
faint outer atmosphere and this year

552
00:24:36,039 --> 00:24:33,919
scientists will test a special kind of

553
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:36,049
camera the team will only have 120

554
00:24:40,659 --> 00:24:38,210
seconds to complete an experiment that

555
00:24:42,430 --> 00:24:40,669
may one day change the design of sun

556
00:24:44,379 --> 00:24:42,440
observing spacecraft let's learn more

557
00:24:57,399 --> 00:24:44,389
about how this team of NASA scientists

558
00:24:59,799 --> 00:24:57,409
is chasing the Sun the corner can be

559
00:25:02,680 --> 00:24:59,809
studied from ground-based telescopes on

560
00:25:04,869 --> 00:25:02,690
leave and during eclipses when our

561
00:25:09,220 --> 00:25:04,879
eclipse happens to be make use of it and

562
00:25:11,859 --> 00:25:09,230
try to test some of our idea yes we we

563
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:11,869
have only 2 minutes to do the experiment

564
00:25:17,289 --> 00:25:14,330
and we have been preparing for maybe

565
00:25:19,419 --> 00:25:17,299
here nothing can go wrong you have

566
00:25:21,849 --> 00:25:19,429
cameras on shutdown you can't press the

567
00:25:24,909 --> 00:25:21,859
wrong button and because there's no time

568
00:25:27,489 --> 00:25:24,919
to change your mind or make alternate

569
00:25:31,210 --> 00:25:27,499
this issue we are going to set up the

570
00:25:33,450 --> 00:25:31,220
telescope and observe the total solar

571
00:25:36,129 --> 00:25:33,460
eclipse at 4 different wavelengths and

572
00:25:38,619 --> 00:25:36,139
the images taken in the in this four

573
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:38,629
different wavelengths will be used to

574
00:25:42,279 --> 00:25:40,730
determine the temperature and flow speed

575
00:25:44,499 --> 00:25:42,289
of the corona we are planning to take

576
00:25:47,169 --> 00:25:44,509
these images using a polarization camera

577
00:25:49,690 --> 00:25:47,179
which will be a first for us I think

578
00:25:52,810 --> 00:25:49,700
it's the first for the solar physics

579
00:25:55,570 --> 00:25:52,820
community so once a moon completely

580
00:25:58,419 --> 00:25:55,580
covers the Sun the experiment begins it

581
00:26:00,970 --> 00:25:58,429
is my job to make sure that the images

582
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:00,980
in the field of view so at the correct

583
00:26:07,509 --> 00:26:04,850
time one person has to turn the give the

584
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:07,519
command to turn the filter wheel and for

585
00:26:12,460 --> 00:26:10,129
each filter there's a different exposure

586
00:26:15,849 --> 00:26:12,470
time so another person a straight into

587
00:26:18,370 --> 00:26:15,859
the exposure time it's a combined effort

588
00:26:22,900 --> 00:26:18,380
of six different hands

589
00:26:25,930 --> 00:26:22,910
no one person can make any errors we won

590
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:25,940
it we do feel the pressure and also the

591
00:26:31,360 --> 00:26:27,530
excitement of the Eclipse it still we

592
00:26:34,330 --> 00:26:31,370
have to focus on our experiment gives a

593
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:34,340
tense feeling but I believe you'll

594
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:39,290
succeed all right we've got another

595
00:26:43,930 --> 00:26:41,810
beautiful shot here of Oregon and we're

596
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:43,940
getting ready to start showing you

597
00:26:48,550 --> 00:26:46,250
imagery from around the country that's

598
00:26:50,740 --> 00:26:48,560
an amazing shot and right now we're

599
00:27:02,400 --> 00:26:50,750
gonna toss it to NASA edge who is

600
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:05,230
you know honestly when I first saw the

601
00:27:09,940 --> 00:27:07,690
Eclipse

602
00:27:12,220 --> 00:27:09,950
I've seen lunar eclipses I've seen

603
00:27:14,170 --> 00:27:12,230
partial eclipses probably similar and

604
00:27:18,670 --> 00:27:14,180
experience looks like a Troy's been a

605
00:27:21,010 --> 00:27:18,680
real eclipse I'm an eclipse chasers

606
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:21,020
but I was the first one I saw was in

607
00:27:25,810 --> 00:27:23,690
Turkey in C Day Turkey and the next one

608
00:27:29,140 --> 00:27:25,820
was in Micronesia and when the eclipse

609
00:27:30,790 --> 00:27:29,150
happened it was about 85% coverage as I

610
00:27:33,910 --> 00:27:30,800
could see with my pinhole projectors and

611
00:27:35,470 --> 00:27:33,920
my glasses at about that moment I

612
00:27:36,970 --> 00:27:35,480
noticed the sky around me started

613
00:27:38,860 --> 00:27:36,980
getting noticeably dark and the

614
00:27:40,750 --> 00:27:38,870
temperature dropped about 10 degrees we

615
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:40,760
could use it oh my gosh we're totally

616
00:27:44,740 --> 00:27:41,330
gonna love that

617
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:44,750
and at that right as the disk of the

618
00:27:49,300 --> 00:27:47,330
Moon covered the Sun it was phenomenal

619
00:27:51,070 --> 00:27:49,310
you're overwhelmed with an amazing

620
00:27:53,530 --> 00:27:51,080
feeling of being connected to the

621
00:27:55,090 --> 00:27:53,540
universe around you because your vision

622
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:55,100
is check up you're seeing things

623
00:28:00,430 --> 00:27:57,650
differently the shadows are changing the

624
00:28:03,220 --> 00:28:00,440
animals are acting differently

625
00:28:05,110 --> 00:28:03,230
I do want to take a quick moment to say

626
00:28:07,060 --> 00:28:05,120
that welcome our friends from NASA TV

627
00:28:09,580 --> 00:28:07,070
who are joining us from Charleston I

628
00:28:16,780 --> 00:28:09,590
hope they have clear skies there we

629
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:16,790
clearly are but easy to manage great to

630
00:28:20,890 --> 00:28:18,410
have you guys joining us

631
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:20,900
now like I said you have time to check

632
00:28:26,230 --> 00:28:23,690
this out to see these cities sort of

633
00:28:28,930 --> 00:28:26,240
eclipsed views what are their strategies

634
00:28:32,140 --> 00:28:28,940
could you share with our fans to prepare

635
00:28:33,670 --> 00:28:32,150
for that Eclipse just to basically when

636
00:28:35,770 --> 00:28:33,680
the eclipse happens spend all of your

637
00:28:38,050 --> 00:28:35,780
time with all the different devices and

638
00:28:40,180 --> 00:28:38,060
pinhole projectors before and after

639
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:40,190
totality the biggest thing that I would

640
00:28:43,630 --> 00:28:42,050
recommend is when totality happens

641
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:43,640
unless you have a camera set up on

642
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:46,370
automatic don't miss a second of the

643
00:28:50,740 --> 00:28:48,890
event make sure you are viewing the cue

644
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:50,750
looking at the Eclipse now one of the

645
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:52,610
things some people forget to take their

646
00:28:56,410 --> 00:28:54,530
Eclipse glasses off during totality and

647
00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:56,420
they miss the whole thing there because

648
00:29:00,160 --> 00:28:58,130
they think it's unsafe but you're not

649
00:29:02,020 --> 00:29:00,170
actually looking at the Sun during

650
00:29:04,090 --> 00:29:02,030
totality you're looking at the backside

651
00:29:06,010 --> 00:29:04,100
of the Moon which is pretty dark and

652
00:29:08,500 --> 00:29:06,020
it's the darkest blackness you've ever

653
00:29:11,620 --> 00:29:08,510
seen and at that moment you will see the

654
00:29:14,020 --> 00:29:11,630
corona of the Sun just magically appear

655
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:14,030
across the sky and you'll see several

656
00:29:19,210 --> 00:29:17,210
stars today I think we have M planets so

657
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:19,220
we have the potential to see four or

658
00:29:22,810 --> 00:29:21,170
five I believe planets and stars okay

659
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:22,820
but you have to be pretty strategic at

660
00:29:26,290 --> 00:29:24,410
that point right now it's that's during

661
00:29:27,970 --> 00:29:26,300
totality let's drink it you're eight

662
00:29:29,380 --> 00:29:27,980
solar experience and you guys swing your

663
00:29:31,060 --> 00:29:29,390
telescope around see or will you be

664
00:29:32,860 --> 00:29:31,070
seeing them with the naked eye you can

665
00:29:34,450 --> 00:29:32,870
see with the naked eye during totality I

666
00:29:36,730 --> 00:29:34,460
recommend everybody look at it with a

667
00:29:38,950 --> 00:29:36,740
naked eye during totality but as soon as

668
00:29:40,990 --> 00:29:38,960
one bit of sunlight starts to come

669
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:41,000
around the Sun trust me it is super

670
00:29:43,300 --> 00:29:42,770
bright and immediately put on those

671
00:29:44,830 --> 00:29:43,310
glasses

672
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:44,840
and start using a pinhole projectors

673
00:29:48,100 --> 00:29:46,490
again that's a great point and it's

674
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:48,110
awesome because we're getting lots and

675
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:49,490
lots of good science and good

676
00:29:53,770 --> 00:29:51,770
observational data to prepare everyone

677
00:29:54,940 --> 00:29:53,780
for how they can experience the events

678
00:29:57,130 --> 00:29:54,950
and you know something I have to tell

679
00:29:58,810 --> 00:29:57,140
you we have a Flickr gallery that people

680
00:30:01,120 --> 00:29:58,820
are uploading many many pictures to

681
00:30:03,250 --> 00:30:01,130
right now so we would recommend and

682
00:30:06,340 --> 00:30:03,260
highly recommend that you go to the

683
00:30:08,350 --> 00:30:06,350
Eclipse 2017 NASA website you'll see the

684
00:30:09,790 --> 00:30:08,360
Flickr links there and these beautiful

685
00:30:11,530 --> 00:30:09,800
images that you're seeing right now are

686
00:30:12,509 --> 00:30:11,540
images that were already uploaded just

687
00:30:14,459 --> 00:30:12,519
over the last

688
00:30:16,469 --> 00:30:14,469
dey's what's interesting is it's not

689
00:30:18,449 --> 00:30:16,479
just you know photos from previous

690
00:30:21,329 --> 00:30:18,459
eclipses we're seeing lots of artwork

691
00:30:24,199 --> 00:30:21,339
lots of really this made of work I think

692
00:30:26,279 --> 00:30:24,209
that's spectacular and a great part of

693
00:30:28,829 --> 00:30:26,289
people of all ages are ready for this

694
00:30:31,109 --> 00:30:28,839
it's fantastic well I'll tell you what

695
00:30:33,029 --> 00:30:31,119
Troy thanks so much for coming on when

we come back later you're gonna share

697
00:30:36,419 --> 00:30:34,839
with us the results all right and we're

698
00:30:37,829 --> 00:30:36,429
going to talk about that right right and

699
00:30:39,899 --> 00:30:37,839
get more questions great

700
00:30:42,810 --> 00:30:39,909
well right now we're gonna go inside the

701
00:30:46,289 --> 00:30:42,820
stadium to cabin voucher who's with Greg

702
00:30:48,239 --> 00:30:46,299
guzik from the Louisiana space Space

703
00:30:49,919 --> 00:30:48,249
Grant consortium and they're going to

704
00:30:51,239 --> 00:30:49,929
talk about this balloon launch that

705
00:30:53,339 --> 00:30:51,249
they're gonna provide for us so take it

706
00:30:55,649 --> 00:30:53,349
away Kevin I sure will thank you very

707
00:30:57,989 --> 00:30:55,659
much again we are standing we are

708
00:31:00,810 --> 00:30:57,999
standing on about the 30-yard line in

709
00:31:03,629 --> 00:31:00,820
Saluki Stadium and of course the stadium

710
00:31:06,749 --> 00:31:03,639
is filling up and with me now is dr.

711
00:31:09,719 --> 00:31:06,759
Gregory guzik and introduce yourself

712
00:31:11,819 --> 00:31:09,729
sign who are you with so my name is Greg

713
00:31:13,919 --> 00:31:11,829
guzik I'm a professor of physics in the

714
00:31:16,019 --> 00:31:13,929
department of physics and astronomy at

715
00:31:17,759 --> 00:31:16,029
Louisiana State University more

716
00:31:20,369 --> 00:31:17,769
importantly I'm actually the director of

717
00:31:22,469 --> 00:31:20,379
the museum space grant consortium okay

718
00:31:25,379 --> 00:31:22,479
now what is that consortium who is it

719
00:31:28,349 --> 00:31:25,389
composed of and what is its mission so

720
00:31:29,999 --> 00:31:28,359
the National Space Grant college and

721
00:31:32,609 --> 00:31:30,009
fellowship program was established by

722
00:31:34,619 --> 00:31:32,619
Congress in 1987 it's a nationwide

723
00:31:36,269 --> 00:31:34,629
effort every state in the Union plus

724
00:31:39,839 --> 00:31:36,279
Puerto Rico and Washington DC has a

725
00:31:43,469 --> 00:31:39,849
consortium and for this project there's

726
00:31:45,299 --> 00:31:43,479
a team collection of about 55 student

727
00:31:47,699 --> 00:31:45,309
teams placed form Oregon to South

728
00:31:49,199 --> 00:31:47,709
Carolina who are gonna fly balloon pail

729
00:31:52,079 --> 00:31:49,209
it's very similar to what we're gonna

730
00:31:54,419 --> 00:31:52,089
fly here from Bob Saluki Stadium and

731
00:31:56,099 --> 00:31:54,429
what I when I think weather balloons I

732
00:31:59,969 --> 00:31:56,109
have this image I think of one of my old

733
00:32:01,409 --> 00:31:59,979
time life series of books the National

734
00:32:03,389 --> 00:32:01,419
Weather Service was launching a

735
00:32:05,430 --> 00:32:03,399
monstrous balloon this balloon that are

736
00:32:07,499 --> 00:32:05,440
in my memory was like a hundred feet

737
00:32:08,759 --> 00:32:07,509
long but yours are a little bit

738
00:32:11,369 --> 00:32:08,769
different can you talk about the

739
00:32:14,249 --> 00:32:11,379
structure of these balloons so these are

740
00:32:16,109 --> 00:32:14,259
normal balloons that that the Weather

741
00:32:17,879 --> 00:32:16,119
Service actually uses hence the name

742
00:32:20,669 --> 00:32:17,889
weather balloons they're made out of

743
00:32:21,930 --> 00:32:20,679
latex rubber when they're fully inflated

744
00:32:23,220 --> 00:32:21,940
here on the ground they're about eight

745
00:32:26,310 --> 00:32:23,230
foot in diameter

746
00:32:28,470 --> 00:32:26,320
and as we go up in the stratosphere

747
00:32:31,019 --> 00:32:28,480
they'll expand to about 40 feet in

748
00:32:32,850 --> 00:32:31,029
diameter okay and if I if I believe

749
00:32:35,310 --> 00:32:32,860
right now on your television screen I

750
00:32:37,190 --> 00:32:35,320
think you are actually seeing some data

751
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:37,200
and video from these weather balloons

752
00:32:42,570 --> 00:32:40,690
also early you told me you all right

753
00:32:43,769 --> 00:32:42,580
Thank You NASA edge from Carbondale

754
00:32:46,169 --> 00:32:43,779
Illinois I know you guys were asking

755
00:32:47,789 --> 00:32:46,179
about the cloud cover here in Charleston

756
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:47,799
unfortunately it is starting to increase

757
00:32:51,539 --> 00:32:49,570
as predicted I don't know if you can see

758
00:32:53,220 --> 00:32:51,549
it over our shoulders here but it's

759
00:32:56,370 --> 00:32:53,230
pretty pretty cloudy right now but that

760
00:33:00,860 --> 00:32:56,380
has not bangs not done anything to the

761
00:33:06,629 --> 00:33:04,379
earlier it's ready there are 35,000 feet

762
00:33:08,789 --> 00:33:06,639
up and ready for us we have an exclusive

763
00:33:11,070 --> 00:33:08,799
feed as they fly over the Pacific Ocean

764
00:33:18,130 --> 00:33:11,080
Kevin roar from NASA's Armstrong Flight

765
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:21,220
she's pausing hi welcome aboard

766
00:33:25,180 --> 00:33:23,570
we're on NASA Armstrong's g3 aircraft

767
00:33:26,860 --> 00:33:25,190
right above the Pacific coast

768
00:33:28,570 --> 00:33:26,870
I'm Kevin roar and I'll be your host on

769
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:28,580
the aircraft in a big howdy and thanks

770
00:33:33,340 --> 00:33:30,890
everybody on on the ground that's making

771
00:33:35,139 --> 00:33:33,350
this shot happen we've got a fantastic

772
00:33:36,909 --> 00:33:35,149
look out the window right now we're

773
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:36,919
circling above Lincoln City if you got a

774
00:33:40,060 --> 00:33:38,450
little bit of cloud cover down there but

775
00:33:41,710 --> 00:33:40,070
we're gonna have a fantastic view of the

776
00:33:45,100 --> 00:33:41,720
Eclipse and this should prove to be a

777
00:33:46,899 --> 00:33:45,110
wonderful day with me today is a Robert

778
00:33:48,730 --> 00:33:46,909
Lightfoot administrator of NASA as well

779
00:33:50,350 --> 00:33:48,740
as doctors of Buchan head of science and

780
00:33:51,850 --> 00:33:50,360
what we're going to do is cut to them

781
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:51,860
really quickly so we can have a little

782
00:33:56,259 --> 00:33:53,210
discussion and what are your impressions

783
00:33:58,029 --> 00:33:56,269
today Robert thanks Kevin what a great

784
00:34:00,879 --> 00:33:58,039
morning so far over the Pacific Ocean

785
00:34:03,370 --> 00:34:00,889
where we got to see the first bites out

786
00:34:05,649 --> 00:34:03,380
of the out of the Sun from the moon just

787
00:34:06,700 --> 00:34:05,659
an incredible view so far I really want

788
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:06,710
to thank all the teams that are out

789
00:34:10,450 --> 00:34:09,050
there all over the country helping us to

790
00:34:12,250 --> 00:34:10,460
get the science the most science we can

791
00:34:13,599 --> 00:34:12,260
get from here really going to be an

792
00:34:15,220 --> 00:34:13,609
inspirational day and hopefully inspire

793
00:34:17,139 --> 00:34:15,230
the next generation of scientists

794
00:34:18,399 --> 00:34:17,149
engineers like like me even in the

795
00:34:20,260 --> 00:34:18,409
current generation pretty inspirational

796
00:34:21,790 --> 00:34:20,270
from that standpoint volunteers

797
00:34:24,550 --> 00:34:21,800
everywhere so we're excited about what's

798
00:34:26,619 --> 00:34:24,560
going on and you know I got turned over

799
00:34:28,720 --> 00:34:26,629
to my buddy Thomas here he this is this

800
00:34:30,339 --> 00:34:28,730
is his field of field of study so Thomas

801
00:34:32,139 --> 00:34:30,349
what'd you think so far oh it's amazing

802
00:34:33,970 --> 00:34:32,149
we're already seeing it happening right

803
00:34:35,859 --> 00:34:33,980
alright how why do you think this is

804
00:34:38,109 --> 00:34:35,869
important to NASA and the United States

805
00:34:40,329 --> 00:34:38,119
well for us is a great opportunity we

806
00:34:42,399 --> 00:34:40,339
took the totality across the continent

807
00:34:44,230 --> 00:34:42,409
we're gonna learn as much as we can we

808
00:34:46,570 --> 00:34:44,240
study Helio physics and astrophysics and

809
00:34:49,270 --> 00:34:46,580
NASA and this is a great opportunity for

810
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:49,280
us to learn even more and have every

811
00:34:52,990 --> 00:34:50,810
instrument we have out there available

812
00:34:53,919 --> 00:34:53,000
to us to to try to try to understand

813
00:34:56,530 --> 00:34:53,929
what we're going to see for the first

814
00:34:58,750 --> 00:34:56,540
time in 99 years so just very very

815
00:35:00,040 --> 00:34:58,760
exciting it to see what we can do here

816
00:35:01,780 --> 00:35:00,050
and the observations that we're going to

817
00:35:03,190 --> 00:35:01,790
get can't wait to see the science come

818
00:35:04,900 --> 00:35:03,200
in and all the different science we're

819
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:04,910
gonna get from here so you know

820
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:06,410
everybody's gonna learn something so you

821
00:35:09,010 --> 00:35:07,490
tell me what you think you're gonna

822
00:35:11,140 --> 00:35:09,020
learn Thomas having been studying this

823
00:35:13,720 --> 00:35:11,150
for for your whole career well look my

824
00:35:16,570 --> 00:35:13,730
eye field of study is the Sun and what's

825
00:35:19,690 --> 00:35:16,580
really unique about this time is the

826
00:35:21,970 --> 00:35:19,700
opportunity to see the solar corona the

827
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:21,980
atmosphere of the Sun during the entire

828
00:35:26,290 --> 00:35:23,330
time of the Eclipse stitched together

829
00:35:27,490 --> 00:35:26,300
for one and a half hours and the Sun of

830
00:35:29,109 --> 00:35:27,500
course is important because it's the

831
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:29,119
most important star everything we learn

832
00:35:33,700 --> 00:35:31,770
about other stars we learn here first

833
00:35:35,690 --> 00:35:33,710
it's also a source of sweater and

834
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:35,700
radiation and actually onboard this

835
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:37,650
aircraft we have two instruments one

836
00:35:41,930 --> 00:35:40,050
from Los Alamos and one from space

837
00:35:44,690 --> 00:35:41,940
environment technologies that make those

838
00:35:47,420 --> 00:35:44,700
very measurements of how this radiation

839
00:35:48,890 --> 00:35:47,430
affects us yeah I think it's important

840
00:35:50,450 --> 00:35:48,900
the more we know about the Sun more you

841
00:35:52,220 --> 00:35:50,460
know space weather will also it'll help

842
00:35:54,500 --> 00:35:52,230
us protect our own spacecraft in the

843
00:35:56,150 --> 00:35:54,510
future it'll also help us protect my

844
00:35:57,710 --> 00:35:56,160
restaurants as we sing crew further so

845
00:35:59,300 --> 00:35:57,720
and our home planet in terms of what's

846
00:36:00,320 --> 00:35:59,310
going on here so why don't you tell me

847
00:36:01,610 --> 00:36:00,330
what you think we're gonna see today

848
00:36:03,730 --> 00:36:01,620
what we're going to learn today through

849
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:03,740
this to this in just an incredible event

850
00:36:09,650 --> 00:36:06,810
so one of the most amazing parts of this

851
00:36:11,540 --> 00:36:09,660
is I really to see the star as a

852
00:36:14,720 --> 00:36:11,550
magnetic star and now what I'm showing

853
00:36:17,210 --> 00:36:14,730
here is actually a prediction of the

854
00:36:19,610 --> 00:36:17,220
space environment off the Sun today by

855
00:36:21,410 --> 00:36:19,620
predictive sciences and 3d printed by of

856
00:36:23,690 --> 00:36:21,420
Applied Physics lab and it basically

857
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:23,700
shows that these magnetic fields are

858
00:36:28,850 --> 00:36:25,770
there and and what's really going to be

859
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:28,860
great today as we're able to test these

860
00:36:33,620 --> 00:36:31,050
models using observations from the

861
00:36:35,830 --> 00:36:33,630
ground that we normally don't have and

862
00:36:38,420 --> 00:36:35,840
so this is really exciting for us

863
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:38,430
very good we've got over 11 spacecraft

864
00:36:42,290 --> 00:36:40,530
and over 50 balloons going up we've got

865
00:36:46,070 --> 00:36:42,300
airborne science like we're even doing

866
00:36:47,390 --> 00:36:46,080
here on the g3 can you explain what we

867
00:36:48,770 --> 00:36:47,400
expect to get out of the spectrograph

868
00:36:51,170 --> 00:36:48,780
we're gonna have here on the on the

869
00:36:52,700 --> 00:36:51,180
plane today so a spectrograph is

870
00:36:54,590 --> 00:36:52,710
basically taking the light of the Sun

871
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:54,600
which is white and spreads it into its

872
00:37:00,440 --> 00:36:56,610
colors and what we're going to see is

873
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:00,450
during the time of now and partial

874
00:37:05,240 --> 00:37:03,690
totality we basically see during a

875
00:37:06,530 --> 00:37:05,250
partial eclipse we see the radiation

876
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:06,540
from the surface of the Sun the

877
00:37:10,070 --> 00:37:08,130
photosphere and all colors are there

878
00:37:11,660 --> 00:37:10,080
well whenever in total eclipse what

879
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:11,670
we're gonna see is the radiation from

880
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:13,290
the atmosphere that we normally really

881
00:37:17,720 --> 00:37:15,330
don't see that up close and that

882
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:17,730
radiation actually has two predominant

883
00:37:22,970 --> 00:37:20,610
lines one is a really hot iron and the

884
00:37:24,530 --> 00:37:22,980
other one is you know big hot because

885
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:24,540
it's a million degrees because of that

886
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:26,010
magnetic field the other one is helium

887
00:37:29,870 --> 00:37:28,050
called heal and because of Helios the

888
00:37:31,370 --> 00:37:29,880
Sun in Greek so that it was actually

889
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:31,380
discovered during eclipse let's just

890
00:37:38,570 --> 00:37:34,890
like it today very cool so here we are

891
00:37:40,310 --> 00:37:38,580
about 30 minutes away from totality but

892
00:37:41,900 --> 00:37:40,320
you can explain to me what you'd think

893
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:41,910
from a spectrograph perspective you're

894
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:43,290
gonna look out the window what are you

895
00:37:48,490 --> 00:37:45,650
gonna see there well so for me

896
00:37:52,390 --> 00:37:48,500
the amazing part really is that were

897
00:37:53,859 --> 00:37:52,400
able to of course see our star in its

898
00:37:56,470 --> 00:37:53,869
beauty and I'm already kind of

899
00:37:59,200 --> 00:37:56,480
emotionally attached even now but also

900
00:38:01,510 --> 00:37:59,210
we're gonna see how that eclipses that

901
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:01,520
the lack of radiation there's perfect

902
00:38:05,650 --> 00:38:03,650
cloud that the moon makes affects the

903
00:38:07,180 --> 00:38:05,660
earth and it's turbulence and I mean I'm

904
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:07,190
really gonna see what are we gonna feel

905
00:38:11,470 --> 00:38:10,010
it up here cool alright thanks Thomas

906
00:38:13,740 --> 00:38:11,480
and thanks for sharing everybody out

907
00:38:16,180 --> 00:38:13,750
there I tell you about 30 minutes away

908
00:38:17,799 --> 00:38:16,190
we're gonna measure as much as we can

909
00:38:19,269 --> 00:38:17,809
here and and I'm about to fight this man

910
00:38:20,769 --> 00:38:19,279
for a window seat so when you get on an

911
00:38:22,750 --> 00:38:20,779
airplane and you look for window seat

912
00:38:24,940 --> 00:38:22,760
get your glasses on we're gonna flick

913
00:38:27,370 --> 00:38:24,950
out here and we're gonna wrap up here

914
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:27,380
from the g3 and send it back to solar

915
00:38:32,500 --> 00:38:31,010
eclipse central see you guys soon wow

916
00:38:35,079 --> 00:38:32,510
that's crazy

917
00:38:36,549 --> 00:38:35,089
thank you to those of you on the g3 to

918
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:36,559
fill us in on what you're gonna be

919
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:38,690
seeing from there here we are on the

920
00:38:43,569 --> 00:38:41,210
other side of the country here in

921
00:38:44,980 --> 00:38:43,579
Charleston South Carolina I want to give

922
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:44,990
a shout out to the College of the

923
00:38:50,410 --> 00:38:47,650
students here have been so incredibly

924
00:38:53,289 --> 00:38:50,420
great for us and we are actually going

925
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:53,299
to have a chance to go back to Salem

926
00:38:58,150 --> 00:38:54,890
Oregon and find out a little bit more

927
00:39:00,819 --> 00:38:58,160
about what they are seeing there they're

928
00:39:03,190 --> 00:39:00,829
talking about this this moon picture

929
00:39:04,990 --> 00:39:03,200
right here right we've got a live

930
00:39:05,829 --> 00:39:05,000
picture right now from Salem Oregon we

931
00:39:07,839 --> 00:39:05,839
were showing you earlier in the

932
00:39:09,099 --> 00:39:07,849
broadcast and as you can see as we

933
00:39:11,019 --> 00:39:09,109
didn't sort of describing it as the moon

934
00:39:13,839 --> 00:39:11,029
taking a bite out of the Sun that's

935
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:13,849
that's it's continuing to happen and the

936
00:39:17,769 --> 00:39:15,650
what looks like Charon is like it's

937
00:39:19,750 --> 00:39:17,779
almost like the the Sun what we see is

938
00:39:21,010 --> 00:39:19,760
almost like a crescent moon but it's not

939
00:39:23,109 --> 00:39:21,020
it's the moon is actually the black

940
00:39:25,630 --> 00:39:23,119
portion in the upper right-hand portion

941
00:39:28,390 --> 00:39:25,640
of the Sun that's being blocked out as

942
00:39:31,750 --> 00:39:28,400
we get closer and closer toward totality

943
00:39:33,579 --> 00:39:31,760
which is Robert and and Thomas said on

944
00:39:36,970 --> 00:39:33,589
from the g3 aircraft is only about 30

945
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:36,980
minutes away for folks in Oregon and and

946
00:39:42,490 --> 00:39:39,650
we will go right to Madras which is

947
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:42,500
right near Oregon this is another view

948
00:39:46,900 --> 00:39:45,170
of the Eclipse what are the great things

949
00:39:49,690 --> 00:39:46,910
about this particular cliff Sean right

950
00:39:51,460 --> 00:39:49,700
is that the totality will be over land

951
00:39:54,250 --> 00:39:51,470
for so long so we're about to start

952
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:54,260
seeing it in Oregon but normally you

953
00:39:57,470 --> 00:39:55,530
know most times you have

954
00:40:00,080 --> 00:39:57,480
a lot of it happens over the over the

955
00:40:01,490 --> 00:40:00,090
ocean right right right so for folks

956
00:40:03,470 --> 00:40:01,500
especially here in the United States

957
00:40:05,330 --> 00:40:03,480
this is the first time from coast to

958
00:40:08,150 --> 00:40:05,340
coast that we've seen a total solar

959
00:40:09,590 --> 00:40:08,160
eclipse since 1979 and so that's why for

960
00:40:11,410 --> 00:40:09,600
a lot of folks are saying about this

961
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:11,420
being a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity

962
00:40:17,030 --> 00:40:13,770
and remember it takes about 90 minutes

963
00:40:19,100 --> 00:40:17,040
for the totality portion of the Eclipse

964
00:40:20,540 --> 00:40:19,110
to cross the United States the

965
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:20,550
continental United States so as they

966
00:40:25,390 --> 00:40:22,890
mentioned earlier from the g3 about 30

967
00:40:28,130 --> 00:40:25,400
30 minutes from now to totality they're

968
00:40:29,750 --> 00:40:28,140
about 90 minutes to get to where we are

969
00:40:31,700 --> 00:40:29,760
here in Charleston so that means what

970
00:40:34,310 --> 00:40:31,710
about times right about two hours will

971
00:40:36,230 --> 00:40:34,320
be a totality here and we are now going

972
00:40:38,900 --> 00:40:36,240
to go to Salem Oregon where Jesse

973
00:40:47,630 --> 00:40:38,910
carpenter will be talking to Nikki viola

974
00:40:50,420 --> 00:40:47,640
solar scientists from NASA welcome back

975
00:40:55,100 --> 00:40:50,430
to Salem Oregon it is clear but yes it

976
00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:55,110
is a little bit breezy I'm joined again

977
00:41:02,180 --> 00:40:57,810
with solar NASA NASA solar physicist

978
00:41:03,950 --> 00:41:02,190
nikoline file hi hey so why don't we why

979
00:41:05,870 --> 00:41:03,960
don't we just take a look at what we've

980
00:41:07,940 --> 00:41:05,880
got going on here now that transit is

981
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:07,950
deep under way yeah so the moon is

982
00:41:11,180 --> 00:41:09,690
crossing in front of the Sun and it's

983
00:41:13,250 --> 00:41:11,190
kind of looking like the moon is taking

984
00:41:15,950 --> 00:41:13,260
a bite out of a Sun and if you guys have

985
00:41:18,410 --> 00:41:15,960
any Colin ders with you like a kitchen

986
00:41:20,690 --> 00:41:18,420
colander strainer you can actually see

987
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:20,700
if you let the sunlight come through

988
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:22,170
that colander look at the shadow on the

989
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:23,610
ground below you you'll actually be able

990
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:26,130
to see the projected image of the moon

991
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:27,810
taking a bite out of the Sun down on the

992
00:41:32,900 --> 00:41:30,810
ground in front of you that's cool yeah

993
00:41:35,090 --> 00:41:32,910
you can just get something from the

994
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:35,100
kitchen and and share that with everyone

995
00:41:38,180 --> 00:41:36,690
who you're watching this with that's

996
00:41:39,710 --> 00:41:38,190
great that's right now it's the time to

997
00:41:41,720 --> 00:41:39,720
take out your pinhole cameras if you

998
00:41:44,090 --> 00:41:41,730
have those or if you have those you know

999
00:41:45,980 --> 00:41:44,100
the safety eclipse classes now it's the

1000
00:41:48,380 --> 00:41:45,990
time to get these out and make sure to

1001
00:41:50,420 --> 00:41:48,390
look at the Sun with these on that's

1002
00:41:51,740 --> 00:41:50,430
right you want to be watching safely and

1003
00:41:53,990 --> 00:41:51,750
I know we've been talking about it but

1004
00:41:55,550 --> 00:41:54,000
we really can't stress it enough it's

1005
00:41:58,280 --> 00:41:55,560
very important to be wearing these

1006
00:41:59,900 --> 00:41:58,290
glasses it's just so amazing though to

1007
00:42:01,460 --> 00:41:59,910
see the moon crossing in front of the

1008
00:42:02,829 --> 00:42:01,470
Sun I mean you never get to see anything

1009
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:02,839
like this

1010
00:42:08,900 --> 00:42:07,650
so what are there's some basics that you

1011
00:42:10,310 --> 00:42:08,910
could share with us I know we were

1012
00:42:12,170 --> 00:42:10,320
trying to present some of that a little

1013
00:42:14,569 --> 00:42:12,180
bit earlier in the show yeah but are

1014
00:42:16,339 --> 00:42:14,579
there some things that maybe you could

1015
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:16,349
talk a little bit about the layers of

1016
00:42:20,390 --> 00:42:18,810
the Sun yeah yeah so there's sort of

1017
00:42:21,710 --> 00:42:20,400
three outer layers of the Sun there's

1018
00:42:24,050 --> 00:42:21,720
the photosphere that's the part we're

1019
00:42:25,579 --> 00:42:24,060
seeing now there's the Koroma sphere and

1020
00:42:26,450 --> 00:42:25,589
the corona above that the chromosphere

1021
00:42:28,910 --> 00:42:26,460
in the corona

1022
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:28,920
that's the solar atmosphere now what's

1023
00:42:32,720 --> 00:42:31,290
cool about today is that usually we get

1024
00:42:35,180 --> 00:42:32,730
to see the photosphere the visible

1025
00:42:36,710 --> 00:42:35,190
surface of the Sun but today during

1026
00:42:38,359 --> 00:42:36,720
totality we're gonna get to see the

1027
00:42:40,069 --> 00:42:38,369
atmosphere the chromosphere and the

1028
00:42:41,839 --> 00:42:40,079
corona of the Sun and we don't usually

1029
00:42:44,030 --> 00:42:41,849
get to see those because there's so much

1030
00:42:46,220 --> 00:42:44,040
less bright than the Sun it takes

1031
00:42:48,250 --> 00:42:46,230
something special like today's total

1032
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:48,260
solar eclipse to be able to see them so

1033
00:42:57,470 --> 00:42:52,890
that's really amazing we're gonna it is

1034
00:43:00,770 --> 00:42:57,480
so cool so I I think what we're gonna be

1035
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:00,780
doing now is sending it back to NASA's

1036
00:43:09,890 --> 00:43:03,690
Eclipse central in Charleston take it

1037
00:43:18,329 --> 00:43:14,700
[Applause]

1038
00:43:20,730 --> 00:43:18,339
for us I've had the chance to interview

1039
00:43:22,109 --> 00:43:20,740
style then just a few days ago the

1040
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:22,119
college of Towson students are excited

1041
00:43:33,780 --> 00:43:24,010
and I wanted to find out what they knew

1042
00:43:40,589 --> 00:43:33,790
about the clips so right now what we're

1043
00:43:43,980 --> 00:43:40,599
looking at on your screen is hello I am

1044
00:43:45,810 --> 00:43:43,990
Karen Fox with NASA TV I'm here at the

1045
00:43:48,930 --> 00:43:45,820
College of Charleston in Charleston

1046
00:43:51,180 --> 00:43:48,940
South Carolina and we are going to spend

1047
00:43:53,370 --> 00:43:51,190
some time interviewing students to find

1048
00:43:57,930 --> 00:43:53,380
out what they know about the total

1049
00:44:00,089 --> 00:43:57,940
eclipse of 2017 what's happening on

1050
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:00,099
Monday the solar eclipse is happening

1051
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:08,040
oh I'm pons I've been talking about it

1052
00:44:17,849 --> 00:44:15,970
all summer what is an eclipse it's when

1053
00:44:20,820 --> 00:44:17,859
the moon passes in front of the Sun and

1054
00:44:26,540 --> 00:44:20,830
creates a shadow on earth what is the

1055
00:44:29,790 --> 00:44:26,550
closest star to earth the Sun the Sun

1056
00:44:35,730 --> 00:44:29,800
very nice will you demonstrate for me

1057
00:44:36,750 --> 00:44:35,740
putting these on the music to associate

1058
00:44:37,710 --> 00:44:36,760
with the Eclipse what have you been

1059
00:44:40,470 --> 00:44:37,720
listening to you when you're going to

1060
00:44:41,460 --> 00:44:40,480
listen to here comes the Sun total

1061
00:44:50,750 --> 00:44:41,470
eclipse

1062
00:44:53,130 --> 00:44:50,760
[Music]

1063
00:44:55,170 --> 00:44:53,140
so I was really impressed with how much

1064
00:44:59,640 --> 00:44:55,180
these students knew we had a great time

1065
00:45:01,980 --> 00:44:59,650
here and now you can once again see the

1066
00:45:04,230 --> 00:45:01,990
imagery we are pulling in of a white

1067
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:04,240
light telescope of two eclipses

1068
00:45:07,370 --> 00:45:05,410
happening as we speak these again are

1069
00:45:09,089 --> 00:45:07,380
the partial eclipses Salem Oregon and

1070
00:45:11,010 --> 00:45:09,099
Madras Oregon

1071
00:45:13,829 --> 00:45:11,020
right as you can see that's quite an

1072
00:45:18,150 --> 00:45:13,839
image as that moon continues to progress

1073
00:45:20,609 --> 00:45:18,160
transit is the term over the surface of

1074
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:20,619
the Sun getting closer and closer toward

1075
00:45:24,240 --> 00:45:22,810
totality and again this is an

1076
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:24,250
opportunity for us to remind folks

1077
00:45:27,180 --> 00:45:25,810
regardless of whether you're watching

1078
00:45:28,710 --> 00:45:27,190
this right now in Oregon or if you're

1079
00:45:31,319 --> 00:45:28,720
anticipating the beginning of the

1080
00:45:32,849 --> 00:45:31,329
Eclipse from another location in the US

1081
00:45:34,950 --> 00:45:32,859
or really across North America wherever

1082
00:45:37,050 --> 00:45:34,960
you are able to view us from that it's

1083
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:37,060
important that you have to have those

1084
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:38,410
safety glasses we cannot stress that

1085
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:39,490
enough we've been getting a lot of

1086
00:45:44,190 --> 00:45:41,770
questions on social media people just

1087
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:44,200
emailing us asking about that you must

1088
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:46,690
have the glasses unless you are in the

1089
00:45:50,910 --> 00:45:48,130
path of totality and during those brief

1090
00:45:52,829 --> 00:45:50,920
moments of totality right and and it's

1091
00:45:54,599 --> 00:45:52,839
sean is stressing the glasses but of

1092
00:45:57,240 --> 00:45:54,609
course you can also watch the sun

1093
00:45:59,670 --> 00:45:57,250
indirectly there are a lot of ways

1094
00:46:01,079 --> 00:45:59,680
Nikki viol our solar scientists just

1095
00:46:02,730 --> 00:46:01,089
told us that you can even plot a

1096
00:46:04,950 --> 00:46:02,740
colander because it's got little pin

1097
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:04,960
holes in it you can use a Ritz cracker

1098
00:46:11,099 --> 00:46:07,450
that has a hole in it the other thing is

1099
00:46:14,430 --> 00:46:11,109
you might even see the Eclipse image

1100
00:46:16,230 --> 00:46:14,440
filtering through a base between leaves

1101
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:16,240
our tree there is there some really

1102
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:19,450
wonderful ways of catching imagery of of

1103
00:46:24,450 --> 00:46:22,810
it so you know be safe but don't think

1104
00:46:26,550 --> 00:46:24,460
you absolutely have to have the glasses

1105
00:46:27,990 --> 00:46:26,560
that is not your only option should we

1106
00:46:29,700 --> 00:46:28,000
talk a little bit at the science we

1107
00:46:30,990 --> 00:46:29,710
should before that I just want to give a

1108
00:46:31,950 --> 00:46:31,000
shout out to to our website because

1109
00:46:33,690 --> 00:46:31,960
you're talking about all these great

1110
00:46:36,030 --> 00:46:33,700
ways to indirectly view it and again

1111
00:46:38,339 --> 00:46:36,040
just a plug for the Eclipse 2017

1112
00:46:40,710 --> 00:46:38,349
nasa.gov site where you can find all

1113
00:46:42,870 --> 00:46:40,720
kinds of information but especially some

1114
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:42,880
do-it-yourself instructions on how to

1115
00:46:46,380 --> 00:46:44,770
create some of those indirect viewing

1116
00:46:49,260 --> 00:46:46,390
methods great we've talked a lot here

1117
00:46:51,599 --> 00:46:49,270
about the partial eclipse niki vile who

1118
00:46:54,359 --> 00:46:51,609
you just heard talking she studies the

1119
00:46:55,980 --> 00:46:54,369
corona that is the atmosphere around the

1120
00:46:57,109 --> 00:46:55,990
Sun and she was telling me just the

1121
00:46:59,150 --> 00:46:57,119
other day how excited

1122
00:47:01,549 --> 00:46:59,160
she is that she is going to be able to

1123
00:47:03,470 --> 00:47:01,559
see that with her naked eye during the

1124
00:47:05,180 --> 00:47:03,480
actual total solar eclipse so that's

1125
00:47:07,999 --> 00:47:05,190
what's interesting we can only see that

1126
00:47:09,859 --> 00:47:08,009
normally from space with our space

1127
00:47:11,450 --> 00:47:09,869
telescopes right and even with that I

1128
00:47:13,220 --> 00:47:11,460
was talking to one of the Hilo physicist

1129
00:47:15,589 --> 00:47:13,230
Helio physicists back into NASA

1130
00:47:17,660 --> 00:47:15,599
headquarters in Washington DC recently

1131
00:47:20,029 --> 00:47:17,670
about this that even with those those

1132
00:47:22,370 --> 00:47:20,039
artificial eclipses that they create

1133
00:47:24,259 --> 00:47:22,380
from the kernel graphs are called in

1134
00:47:26,359 --> 00:47:24,269
space it doesn't give you the same

1135
00:47:28,009 --> 00:47:26,369
viewing opportunities that we have with

1136
00:47:29,690 --> 00:47:28,019
a natural eclipse like we're seeing now

1137
00:47:31,519 --> 00:47:29,700
that there's there's actually a couple

1138
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:31,529
different layers of the Sun's corona we

1139
00:47:35,749 --> 00:47:33,450
have the outer corona and the inner

1140
00:47:39,170 --> 00:47:35,759
corona and because of the the way those

1141
00:47:42,109 --> 00:47:39,180
coronagraphs work they do not allow a

1142
00:47:43,940 --> 00:47:42,119
good image of the inner corona the part

1143
00:47:45,769 --> 00:47:43,950
that's really close to the sun's surface

1144
00:47:49,519 --> 00:47:45,779
only the outer corona it's only during

1145
00:47:50,930 --> 00:47:49,529
an actual natural total solar eclipse

1146
00:47:53,569 --> 00:47:50,940
like we're viewing today across the

1147
00:47:55,130 --> 00:47:53,579
country that scientists helio physicists

1148
00:47:57,829 --> 00:47:55,140
and and others and just the general

1149
00:47:59,390 --> 00:47:57,839
public are able to see the entire corona

1150
00:48:01,220 --> 00:47:59,400
and that really gives them a lot more

1151
00:48:02,630 --> 00:48:01,230
information and remember for these

1152
00:48:04,940 --> 00:48:02,640
scientists no matter where they are they

1153
00:48:06,529 --> 00:48:04,950
only have that brief maybe two minutes

1154
00:48:07,729 --> 00:48:06,539
maybe three if you're if you're really

1155
00:48:11,690 --> 00:48:07,739
lucky right in the center line of

1156
00:48:19,620 --> 00:48:11,700
totality to see the entire corona and

1157
00:48:19,630 --> 00:48:35,060
[Music]

1158
00:48:39,450 --> 00:48:37,860
so again Karen is folks are looking at

1159
00:48:41,850 --> 00:48:39,460
their screen right now you see that

1160
00:48:44,730 --> 00:48:41,860
double image Salem Oregon there on the

1161
00:48:46,470 --> 00:48:44,740
left and nearby Madras on the right two

1162
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:46,480
different images with two different

1163
00:48:50,730 --> 00:48:49,090
types of telescope using two to view

1164
00:48:52,950 --> 00:48:50,740
this eclipse it's still in the partial

1165
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:52,960
stages starting to get closer and closer

1166
00:48:57,390 --> 00:48:55,450
toward totality in just a few minutes

1167
00:48:59,430 --> 00:48:57,400
and stick with us because we are going

1168
00:49:01,650 --> 00:48:59,440
to be tracing this Eclipse all the way

1169
00:49:02,970 --> 00:49:01,660
across the country not only does

1170
00:49:06,330 --> 00:49:02,980
everybody in the country have a great

1171
00:49:07,350 --> 00:49:06,340
view but we have some views from the sky

1172
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:07,360
don't we shine

1173
00:49:10,770 --> 00:49:09,130
that's right looking up from the ground

1174
00:49:12,570 --> 00:49:10,780
is how most of us will experience today

1175
00:49:14,580 --> 00:49:12,580
is eclipses but researchers at Southern

1176
00:49:16,860 --> 00:49:14,590
Illinois University wanted a different

1177
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:16,870
perspective they wanted to look down at

1178
00:49:20,730 --> 00:49:19,090
earth to image the moon's shadow in

1179
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:20,740
Illinois and across the United States

1180
00:49:25,650 --> 00:49:23,170
teams are using high-altitude balloons

1181
00:49:27,060 --> 00:49:25,660
for a unique perspective right now

1182
00:49:29,550 --> 00:49:27,070
they're getting ready to launch a

1183
00:49:31,260 --> 00:49:29,560
research balloon from Saluki Stadium in

1184
00:49:33,450 --> 00:49:31,270
Carbondale Illinois we're gonna go back

1185
00:49:35,090 --> 00:49:33,460
to Carbondale Illinois the primary

1186
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:35,100
payload will be a real-time

1187
00:49:44,150 --> 00:49:37,450
high-definition video system so let's

1188
00:49:48,870 --> 00:49:47,160
clips in 4e it's like being on the

1189
00:49:50,310 --> 00:49:48,880
surface but you know to actually

1190
00:49:52,500 --> 00:49:50,320
understand the cone is very important

1191
00:49:54,390 --> 00:49:52,510
because all sun-like stars have lacunae

1192
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:54,400
we need to understand why the energies

1193
00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:55,570
released and the way it is

1194
00:49:59,010 --> 00:49:57,370
alright look we're getting a call we

1195
00:50:01,110 --> 00:49:59,020
need to go inside the stadium right now

1196
00:50:03,870 --> 00:50:01,120
they're about to launch the balloon for

1197
00:50:12,619 --> 00:50:03,880
the Louisiana Space Grant consortium so

1198
00:50:17,759 --> 00:50:15,359
that is what's gonna let that get safely

1199
00:50:23,579 --> 00:50:17,769
down to the ground and all those

1200
00:50:28,079 --> 00:50:23,589
instruments okay can you hear me okay

1201
00:50:30,359 --> 00:50:28,089
right yes this is Kevin voucher sorry

1202
00:50:31,049 --> 00:50:30,369
about the little mix-up I was I was too

1203
00:50:35,909 --> 00:50:31,059
enthralled

1204
00:50:38,219 --> 00:50:35,919
fantastic weather balloon that has just

1205
00:50:41,189 --> 00:50:38,229
launched you can probably see it behind

1206
00:50:42,989 --> 00:50:41,199
me and is pandemonium here but it's good

1207
00:50:46,079 --> 00:50:42,999
pandemonium one of the weather balloons

1208
00:50:48,839 --> 00:50:46,089
has launched and with me is one of the

1209
00:50:51,989 --> 00:50:48,849
team members introduce yourself to the

1210
00:50:54,209 --> 00:50:51,999
entire world no pressure hi my name is

1211
00:50:55,589 --> 00:50:54,219
Colleen fava I'm the program manager for

1212
00:50:58,919 --> 00:50:55,599
the Louisiana Space Grant consortium

1213
00:51:00,539 --> 00:50:58,929
based at LSU okay so just to kind of

1214
00:51:02,189 --> 00:51:00,549
keep a scorecard for people if they're

1215
00:51:04,949 --> 00:51:02,199
wondering we talked to I guess the

1216
00:51:08,459 --> 00:51:04,959
program director dr. Gregory guzik he is

1217
00:51:10,499 --> 00:51:08,469
your boss he's my boss what exactly does

1218
00:51:13,829 --> 00:51:10,509
your job entail with this resource him

1219
00:51:16,139 --> 00:51:13,839
I'm Anna the program so I write grants

1220
00:51:17,249 --> 00:51:16,149
and reports and organize students and

1221
00:51:20,039 --> 00:51:17,259
keep them on track and I do

1222
00:51:22,079 --> 00:51:20,049
communications training sounds like you

1223
00:51:24,179 --> 00:51:22,089
do a lot of outreach as well and it

1224
00:51:25,799 --> 00:51:24,189
throws my heart and I'm sure it throws

1225
00:51:29,249 --> 00:51:25,809
your heart to see so many of these young

1226
00:51:31,379 --> 00:51:29,259
people you probably did not have to drag

1227
00:51:33,569 --> 00:51:31,389
these young people kicking and screaming

1228
00:51:36,419 --> 00:51:33,579
to do this help did you no no we brought

1229
00:51:38,159 --> 00:51:36,429
four institutions with us and LSU is the

1230
00:51:39,839 --> 00:51:38,169
the home team and so they were always

1231
00:51:42,149 --> 00:51:39,849
coming but we actually had a competition

1232
00:51:43,979 --> 00:51:42,159
to figure out which other students would

1233
00:51:46,919 --> 00:51:43,989
bring him we we brought a team of 46

1234
00:51:49,079 --> 00:51:46,929
people okay and right behind you now

1235
00:51:52,309 --> 00:51:49,089
there I have forgotten they're launching

1236
00:51:54,599 --> 00:51:52,319
two balloons now the first balloon I

1237
00:51:57,780 --> 00:51:54,609
think we have a video of the first

1238
00:52:07,080 --> 00:51:59,700
okay we're getting ready to launch the

1239
00:52:09,660 --> 00:52:07,090
second balloon the first balloon Colleen

1240
00:52:13,410 --> 00:52:09,670
that was launched where is it right now

1241
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:13,420
maybe 2,000 feet you think they go up

1242
00:52:17,010 --> 00:52:15,850
about a thousand feet a minute so a few

1243
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:17,020
thousand has probably been a couple of

1244
00:52:23,100 --> 00:52:20,050
minutes now there goes this other one

1245
00:52:27,060 --> 00:52:23,110
has launched it's a big yellow balloon

1246
00:52:29,460 --> 00:52:27,070
filled with helium and the next time we

1247
00:52:32,370 --> 00:52:29,470
see this balloon we'll be down on the

1248
00:52:35,490 --> 00:52:32,380
ground it'll have wonderful data can you

1249
00:52:37,710 --> 00:52:35,500
tell us about what goes into studying

1250
00:52:40,470 --> 00:52:37,720
the the winds and the weather reports

1251
00:52:42,870 --> 00:52:40,480
trying to calculate where this will land

1252
00:52:45,150 --> 00:52:42,880
so you can quickly retrieve it and get

1253
00:52:48,030 --> 00:52:45,160
your data that's a whole nother science

1254
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:48,040
yeah so I'm not an expert on it I can

1255
00:52:52,740 --> 00:52:50,290
just tell you that we we do our predicts

1256
00:52:55,170 --> 00:52:52,750
we will we started our predicts months

1257
00:52:57,330 --> 00:52:55,180
ago doing them you know maybe every week

1258
00:52:59,490 --> 00:52:57,340
or so and then the last few weeks we've

1259
00:53:01,110 --> 00:52:59,500
been doing predicts every single day so

1260
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:01,120
we have a good idea we think it'll go

1261
00:53:06,780 --> 00:53:03,970
about 36 kilometers about 22 miles do

1262
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:06,790
you eat somewhere near Marian so we'll

1263
00:53:12,450 --> 00:53:08,890
have several chase vehicle it's kind of

1264
00:53:14,310 --> 00:53:12,460
staged and ready to go and I'm not sure

1265
00:53:16,500 --> 00:53:14,320
if they decided to leave before after

1266
00:53:18,450 --> 00:53:16,510
totality but we have some local people

1267
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:18,460
helping us to make sure we have access

1268
00:53:28,860 --> 00:53:26,410
and now will you actually be on the

1269
00:53:33,990 --> 00:53:28,870
chase team yourself no I'm not gonna be

1270
00:53:34,710 --> 00:53:34,000
on the taste team I and it's very

1271
00:53:36,720 --> 00:53:34,720
exciting

1272
00:53:39,720 --> 00:53:36,730
oh I'm sure yeah can you tell me about

1273
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:39,730
it and please get a specific as you can

1274
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:42,490
what are some of the most eventful ones

1275
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:44,890
like has has the balloon ever come down

1276
00:53:51,420 --> 00:53:49,090
in how did you know are you you're not

1277
00:53:52,350 --> 00:53:51,430
kidding me I'm not kidding you we did

1278
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:52,360
have a landing in the Pontchartrain

1279
00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:55,450
River which which was not not a great

1280
00:53:59,370 --> 00:53:56,890
recovery but it was definitely better

1281
00:54:01,230 --> 00:53:59,380
than landing in the airport which we

1282
00:54:02,940 --> 00:54:01,240
were afraid was going to happen well I

1283
00:54:04,170 --> 00:54:02,950
was going to say I would rather land in

1284
00:54:06,870 --> 00:54:04,180
an airport because the Pontchartrain

1285
00:54:08,790 --> 00:54:06,880
River you have the water that might

1286
00:54:09,720 --> 00:54:08,800
damage some of your instruments but

1287
00:54:11,460 --> 00:54:09,730
you're the expert

1288
00:54:14,210 --> 00:54:11,470
right there I think we'd rather not

1289
00:54:16,650 --> 00:54:14,220
interfere with no traffic control

1290
00:54:18,660 --> 00:54:16,660
landing in a Pontchartrain River and I

1291
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:18,670
assume the alligators did not make a

1292
00:54:23,150 --> 00:54:20,650
meal out of your several thousand

1293
00:54:25,650 --> 00:54:23,160
dollars worth of instruments we didn't

1294
00:54:27,300 --> 00:54:25,660
but we have done water recoveries in the

1295
00:54:30,930 --> 00:54:27,310
past and we actually just invested in an

1296
00:54:33,330 --> 00:54:30,940
inflatable kayak okay my producer just

1297
00:54:36,300 --> 00:54:33,340
told me we are seeing first contact

1298
00:54:38,970 --> 00:54:36,310
everybody we have people putting on

1299
00:54:41,490 --> 00:54:38,980
their glasses the first contact we are

1300
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:41,500
seeing the first contact and we've got

1301
00:54:46,620 --> 00:54:44,290
about four minutes left how many total

1302
00:54:49,890 --> 00:54:46,630
solar eclipses have you seen Colleen

1303
00:54:52,140 --> 00:54:49,900
this is my first what I assume you have

1304
00:54:58,080 --> 00:54:52,150
your glasses feel free to go ahead and

1305
00:55:09,030 --> 00:54:58,090
put your glasses on yes please you know

1307
00:55:15,990 --> 00:55:13,300
are your glasses on - okay in this and

1308
00:55:18,150 --> 00:55:16,000
the Sun we are turning around would it

1309
00:55:20,460 --> 00:55:18,160
be okay if I turn my back to the camera

1310
00:55:22,490 --> 00:55:20,470
so I can see the circles oh okay I'm

1311
00:55:27,810 --> 00:55:22,500
going to turn my back to the camera oh

1312
00:55:31,890 --> 00:55:27,820
my gosh there is a small bite starting

1313
00:55:36,540 --> 00:55:31,900
in in the Sun what are your comments I

1314
00:55:40,140 --> 00:55:36,550
said that is gorgeous it is fantastic

1315
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:40,150
the total solar eclipse in Carbondale

1316
00:55:45,810 --> 00:55:43,570
Illinois has begun a small bite is being

1317
00:55:49,380 --> 00:55:45,820
taken out of the Sun by our satellite

1318
00:55:52,349 --> 00:55:49,390
called the moon this this is incredible

1319
00:55:54,180 --> 00:55:52,359
earlier they were telling people to talk

1320
00:55:57,570 --> 00:55:54,190
about in one word to describe the

1321
00:55:59,220 --> 00:55:57,580
Eclipse the word for me is majestic a

1322
00:56:01,500 --> 00:55:59,230
lot of times I don't know about you

1323
00:56:03,450 --> 00:56:01,510
sometimes if I want to you know take a

1324
00:56:07,260 --> 00:56:03,460
break on my computer oh I can take these

1325
00:56:10,109 --> 00:56:07,270
out I will go to the solar I think it's

1326
00:56:12,330 --> 00:56:10,119
a dynamic observatory that often will

1327
00:56:13,740 --> 00:56:12,340
give videos of the rotating Sun and

1328
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:13,750
Colleen I don't know about you but when

1329
00:56:20,220 --> 00:56:17,410
I see that giant ball of gas just

1330
00:56:22,289 --> 00:56:20,230
rotating majestic is a word that comes

1331
00:56:24,569 --> 00:56:22,299
to my mind could you agree I

1332
00:56:25,979 --> 00:56:24,579
absolutely agree it's amazing and I

1333
00:56:28,169 --> 00:56:25,989
think that we're really fortunate to

1334
00:56:32,099 --> 00:56:28,179
have this opportunity and to be in

1335
00:56:34,319 --> 00:56:32,109
community with our students multiple

1336
00:56:36,089 --> 00:56:34,329
institutions here at SIU who's been

1337
00:56:38,699 --> 00:56:36,099
wonderful and very welcoming

1338

amazing it's great and I love looking at

1343
00:56:54,900 --> 00:56:53,079
those images and how you can see

1344
00:56:57,179 --> 00:56:54,910
different things at different parts of

1345
00:56:58,890 --> 00:56:57,189
the country it's wonderful to be sharing

1346
00:57:01,169 --> 00:56:58,900
this imagery with all of you we will

1347
00:57:03,870 --> 00:57:01,179
have more from Carbondale later today

1348
00:57:06,660 --> 00:57:03,880
please stick with us we have so much

1349
00:57:08,669 --> 00:57:06,670
more coming up from there and from here

1350
01:00:04,910 --> 00:57:08,679
and NASA's Eclipse central here at the

1351
01:00:10,230 --> 01:00:08,100
looking out toward the horizon we await

1352
01:00:12,750 --> 01:00:10,240
the first glimpse of a total solar

1353
01:00:15,590 --> 01:00:12,760
eclipse when the movement of our moon

1354
01:00:17,790 --> 01:00:15,600
completely blocks our view of the Sun

1355
01:00:20,430 --> 01:00:17,800
starting in the air from NASA's

1356
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:20,440
Gulfstream 3 aircraft off the coast of

1357
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:23,730
Oregon we anticipate this awe-inspiring

1358
01:00:29,190 --> 01:00:26,890
celestial event over the next three

1359
01:00:31,770 --> 01:00:29,200
hours we will track the solar eclipse as

1360
01:00:34,500 --> 01:00:31,780
it moves across the entire United States

1361
01:00:37,530 --> 01:00:34,510
from coast to coast observing this

1362
01:00:40,670 --> 01:00:37,540
incredible event through the eyes of

1363
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:52,650
[Music]

1364
01:00:58,120 --> 01:00:55,029
hello and welcome I'm Dwane Brown from

1365
01:00:59,950 --> 01:00:58,130
NASA's Office of Communications and over

1366
01:01:02,319 --> 01:00:59,960
the next three hours we're going to look

1367
01:01:06,249 --> 01:01:02,329
through the eyes of NASA and experience

1368
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:06,259
today's total solar eclipse I have a

1369
01:01:11,700 --> 01:01:08,210
great team here on stage joining me to

1370
01:01:15,670 --> 01:01:11,710
my immediate left is Jonny kool Joe Vega

1371
01:01:18,460 --> 01:01:15,680
who is a space weather scientist solar

1372
01:01:20,620 --> 01:01:18,470
scientist next to her Alex Young over to

1373
01:01:22,990 --> 01:01:20,630
my right John Eureka would be taking

1374
01:01:25,900 --> 01:01:23,000
your social media questions today plus

1375
01:01:28,809 --> 01:01:25,910
media specialist and meteorologists very

1376
01:01:31,059 --> 01:01:28,819
important man today I must say tracking

1377
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:31,069
the weather conditions across the path

1378
01:01:35,740 --> 01:01:33,890
of totality Shawn Potter today we're

1379
01:01:37,509 --> 01:01:35,750
coming to you from NASA Eclipse central

1380
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:37,519
here at the College of Charleston

1381
01:01:42,789 --> 01:01:40,250
now Charleston is the last stop of the

1382
01:01:45,220 --> 01:01:42,799
total solar eclipse on US soil so we

1383
01:01:47,859 --> 01:01:45,230
will track this Eclipse as it moves east

1384
01:01:50,529 --> 01:01:47,869
and heads this way we're tracking there

1385
01:01:52,390 --> 01:01:50,539
Clips across the entire country to bring

1386
01:01:54,670 --> 01:01:52,400
you the best images with the most

1387
01:01:57,220 --> 01:01:54,680
compelling stories along with science

1388
01:01:59,400 --> 01:01:57,230
experts here from NASA Eclipse Central

1389
01:02:03,160 --> 01:01:59,410
we have views from ground telescopes

1390
01:02:06,730 --> 01:02:03,170
high altitude balloons airplanes and

1391
01:02:08,499 --> 01:02:06,740
from several NASA spacecraft and yes and

1392
01:02:08,980 --> 01:02:08,509
I want you to remember this audience out

1393
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:08,990
there

1394
01:02:14,529 --> 01:02:12,410
we even have live live no one else only

1395
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:14,539
here at NASA the International Space

1396
01:02:17,410 --> 01:02:16,250
Station if you want to see the Eclipse

1397
01:02:20,319 --> 01:02:17,420
as never before

1398
01:02:24,089 --> 01:02:20,329
stay with us through the eyes of NASA on

1399
01:02:25,319 --> 01:02:24,099
NASA television this is the place to be

1400
01:02:28,769 --> 01:02:25,329
daddy

1401
01:02:31,839 --> 01:02:28,779
hola como estas

1402
01:02:34,690 --> 01:02:31,849
okay this is a win-win situation for

1403
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:34,700
America we have a possible eclipse and a

1404
01:02:40,269 --> 01:02:37,970
total eclipse explain the difference so

1405
01:02:43,870 --> 01:02:40,279
today pretty much the moon is gonna come

1406
01:02:46,359 --> 01:02:43,880
across the earth and the Sun so North

1407
01:02:48,490 --> 01:02:46,369
America Central America and parts of

1408
01:02:50,859 --> 01:02:48,500
South America are gonna see a partial

1409
01:02:52,900 --> 01:02:50,869
solar eclipse which means that the

1410
01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:52,910
moon's gonna partially block the Sun

1411
01:02:56,499 --> 01:02:54,650
it's gonna look like the moon took a

1412
01:02:59,230 --> 01:02:56,509
bite of the Sun like you have seen on

1413
01:03:00,030 --> 01:02:59,240
the previous images at total so it's

1414
01:03:03,690 --> 01:03:00,040
gonna happen in a

1415
01:03:05,550 --> 01:03:03,700
very narrow path 70 mile wide that comes

1416
01:03:07,350 --> 01:03:05,560
all the way from Oregon crossing the

1417
01:03:09,050 --> 01:03:07,360
whole content of the United States and

1418
01:03:11,550 --> 01:03:09,060
getting out of here in South Carolina

1419
01:03:13,460 --> 01:03:11,560
you're gonna see a total solar eclipse

1420
01:03:15,900 --> 01:03:13,470
which means that the moon's gonna

1421
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:15,910
completely block the surface of the Sun

1422
01:03:19,530 --> 01:03:17,410
and you're gonna be able to see the

1423
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:19,540
solar atmosphere the solar corona with

1424
01:03:24,180 --> 01:03:22,450
your own eyes they will turn in tonight

1425
01:03:25,620 --> 01:03:24,190
which means the Stars and the brightest

1426
01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:25,630
planets are gonna come out

1427
01:03:29,430 --> 01:03:27,970
Jody Alex you guys have been waiting for

1428
01:03:31,020 --> 01:03:29,440
this for a long time as all these other

1429
01:03:32,490 --> 01:03:31,030
scientists around the nation this is the

1430
01:03:34,950 --> 01:03:32,500
day we've been waiting for we're here

1431
01:03:37,110 --> 01:03:34,960
Eclipse central you guys if you hear

1432
01:03:39,540 --> 01:03:37,120
this is the place to be we have remote

1433
01:03:41,610 --> 01:03:39,550
NASA TV broadcast sites along the path

1434
01:03:43,740 --> 01:03:41,620
of totality so that anyone watching

1435
01:03:44,790 --> 01:03:43,750
along with us can also experience the

1436
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:44,800
total solar eclipse

1437
01:03:49,050 --> 01:03:46,930
we'll also share information about how

1438
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:49,060
to experience the Eclipse safely

1439
01:03:54,330 --> 01:03:51,370
wherever you are and give you a peek and

1440
01:03:59,940 --> 01:03:54,340
all the exciting plans NASA experts have

1441
01:04:02,760 --> 01:03:59,950
today Alex okay so mr. solo man what is

1442
01:04:04,650 --> 01:04:02,770
so unique about the solar eclipse well

1443
01:04:07,020 --> 01:04:04,660
this is an amazing opportunity the last

1444
01:04:09,450 --> 01:04:07,030
time we had a total solar eclipse in the

1445
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:09,460
continental US was 79 but the last time

1446
01:04:18,390 --> 01:04:11,970
we had one that went from coast to coast

1447
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:18,400
was 1918 99 years ago so we are having a

1448
01:04:23,490 --> 01:04:20,410
total solar eclipse that's covering a

1449
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:23,500
huge portion of populated accessible

1450
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:25,810
land this is giving us an unprecedented

1451
01:04:31,830 --> 01:04:29,290
opportunity to study to look at the

1452
01:04:34,260 --> 01:04:31,840
impacts on the earth to see the corona

1453
01:04:37,170 --> 01:04:34,270
and give us science like we've never had

1454
01:04:39,450 --> 01:04:37,180
before when the last time we had this

1455
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:39,460
kind of connection to where we are and

1456
01:04:44,790 --> 01:04:42,010
who we are was actually really the

1457
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:44,800
Apollo 8 earth rise and that gave us a

1458
01:04:50,430 --> 01:04:48,490
perspective outside of just the earth it

1459
01:04:52,830 --> 01:04:50,440
showed us that we were part of something

1460
01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:52,840
bigger and that's what this total solar

1461
01:04:58,500 --> 01:04:55,090
eclipse brings for us it allows us a

1462
01:05:01,860 --> 01:04:58,510
window into the universe and this is the

1463
01:05:03,870 --> 01:05:01,870
most connected most well observed event

1464
01:05:06,540 --> 01:05:03,880
that we've ever had in terms of the

1465
01:05:10,830 --> 01:05:06,550
solar total solar eclipse the data and

1466
01:05:13,510 --> 01:05:10,840
the experiences are going to be amazing

1467
01:05:15,460 --> 01:05:13,520
okay so we're certainly witnessing a

1468
01:05:18,250 --> 01:05:15,470
monumental celestial and historical

1469
01:05:19,930 --> 01:05:18,260
event today we'd like to take a moment

1470
01:05:22,450 --> 01:05:19,940
to talk about safety so Johnny can you

1471
01:05:24,940 --> 01:05:22,460
can you help me out here so you never

1472
01:05:27,780 --> 01:05:24,950
never look directly at the Sun and you

1473
01:05:30,010 --> 01:05:27,790
may have seen these Eclipse glasses and

1474
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:30,020
they're designed with special-purpose

1475
01:05:36,010 --> 01:05:32,810
solar filters ordinary sunglasses even

1476
01:05:39,100 --> 01:05:36,020
very dark ones are not safe for looking

1477
01:05:41,380 --> 01:05:39,110
at the Sun now if you're in the path of

1478
01:05:43,630 --> 01:05:41,390
totality there's a short time frame that

1479
01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:43,640
you can't take your glasses off this is

1480
01:05:47,580 --> 01:05:45,290
only only when the moon completely

1481
01:05:50,530 --> 01:05:47,590
blocks the Sun and that is doing

1482
01:05:57,400 --> 01:05:50,540
totality let's watch this video to learn

1483
01:07:13,099 --> 01:06:58,000
[Music]

1484
01:07:15,020 --> 01:07:13,109
okay so Alex and Jodi I'm very fortunate

1485
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:15,030
that I have two glasses and a lot of

1486
01:07:19,339 --> 01:07:16,890
people have glasses but a lot of people

1487
01:07:21,650 --> 01:07:19,349
don't have glasses so what other options

1488
01:07:23,780 --> 01:07:21,660
let me start with you Alex on how they

1489
01:07:26,660 --> 01:07:23,790
can view the Eclipse the simplest thing

1490
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:26,670
to remember to look at it indirectly is

1491
01:07:30,830 --> 01:07:29,010
a pinhole viewer and there's a lot of

1492
01:07:32,990 --> 01:07:30,840
ways you can make a pinhole you can take

1493
01:07:36,170 --> 01:07:33,000
a simple piece of paper poke a hole in

1494
01:07:38,540 --> 01:07:36,180
it in fact I've got here a 3d map of the

1495
01:07:41,839 --> 01:07:38,550
path across the US with the hole in it

1496
01:07:44,060 --> 01:07:41,849
that I can use as a pinhole to project

1497
01:07:45,859 --> 01:07:44,070
the circular Sun down on the ground and

1498
01:07:47,870 --> 01:07:45,869
then you can see the moon move across it

1499
01:07:50,750 --> 01:07:47,880
as a matter of fact anything with holes

1500
01:07:53,420 --> 01:07:50,760
including this colander is something you

1501
01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:53,430
can use to look at the eclipses but you

1502
01:07:58,130 --> 01:07:55,290
could also use something a little more

1503
01:08:01,670 --> 01:07:58,140
sophisticated if you want so you can

1504
01:08:03,650 --> 01:08:01,680
actually make a box you actually just do

1505
01:08:06,470 --> 01:08:03,660
two holes in one side of the box and

1506
01:08:08,810 --> 01:08:06,480
then put white paper on the inside then

1507
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:08,820
put aluminum foil door hole in the

1508
01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:11,490
middle not too big that you can actually

1509
01:08:16,070 --> 01:08:13,650
protect the Sun inside the box make sure

1510
01:08:18,110 --> 01:08:16,080
that the Sun is actually behind you so

1511
01:08:20,229 --> 01:08:18,120
you can actually look at it inside of

1512
01:08:23,059 --> 01:08:20,239
the box it will be an amazing projector

1513
01:08:24,769 --> 01:08:23,069
okay so before I toss the Saoirse I got

1514
01:08:27,229 --> 01:08:24,779
to do this because we're on the College

1515
01:08:30,860 --> 01:08:27,239
of Charleston and thousand choices to

1516
01:08:36,090 --> 01:08:33,630
that's what I'm talking about okay so

1517
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:36,100
the social media world is going to break

1518
01:08:41,399 --> 01:08:38,770
records so let me toss through my man

1519
01:08:42,899 --> 01:08:41,409

coming back to you more and more so you

1569
01:10:32,340 --> 01:10:29,739
got to know that one of the most

1570
01:10:35,340 --> 01:10:32,350
important things here for today is the

1571
01:10:37,830 --> 01:10:35,350
weather so Sean you know I'm looking at

1572
01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:37,840
Charleston's skies we got clouds I hope

1573
01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:39,130
that's gonna get better but what's going

1574
01:10:42,780 --> 01:10:40,690
on around the nation over to you

1575
01:10:44,250 --> 01:10:42,790
that's right Dwayne yes the weather is

1576
01:10:46,589 --> 01:10:44,260
the key factor for a view

1577
01:10:48,390 --> 01:10:46,599
today's total solar eclipse right here

1578
01:10:50,279 --> 01:10:48,400
in Charleston it's about 86 degrees but

1579
01:10:51,029 --> 01:10:50,289
with the humidity it feels more like 99

1580
01:10:55,140 --> 01:10:51,039
right now

1581
01:10:56,580 --> 01:10:55,150
you a satellite image from our friends

1582
01:10:58,259 --> 01:10:56,590
at NOAA the National Oceanic and

1583
01:11:00,299 --> 01:10:58,269
Atmospheric Administration this is from

1584
01:11:02,279 --> 01:11:00,309
the goes 16 satellite it's a brand new

1585
01:11:03,870 --> 01:11:02,289
weather satellite that NASA built for

1586
01:11:05,580 --> 01:11:03,880
NOAA and was launched last year that's

1587
01:11:07,979 --> 01:11:05,590
going to give you the latest and

1588
01:11:09,209 --> 01:11:07,989
greatest very detailed imagery of cloud

1589
01:11:10,859 --> 01:11:09,219
cover across the country what you can

1590
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:10,869
see is that things are looking really

1591
01:11:15,750 --> 01:11:13,570
good for the early parts of the path of

1592
01:11:17,939 --> 01:11:15,760
totality places like Oregon and Idaho

1593
01:11:19,799 --> 01:11:17,949
and Wyoming and then as you get into

1594
01:11:22,319 --> 01:11:19,809
parts of the middle section of the

1595
01:11:24,209 --> 01:11:22,329
country more places like Beatrice

1596
01:11:26,310 --> 01:11:24,219
Nebraska maybe into Kansas City

1597
01:11:28,169 --> 01:11:26,320
Jefferson City there is some cloud cover

1598
01:11:30,839 --> 01:11:28,179
there that may hinder your ability to

1599
01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:30,849
view the Eclipse and looks like as you

1600
01:11:34,739 --> 01:11:33,130
get into Carbondale skies are still

1601
01:11:36,750 --> 01:11:34,749
pretty good there there's air some storm

1602
01:11:39,060 --> 01:11:36,760
systems developing to the north in other

1603
01:11:40,649 --> 01:11:39,070
parts of Illinois and and really things

1604
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:40,659
looking clear again until you get back

1605
01:11:43,770 --> 01:11:42,010
here in Charleston as you said Dwayne

1606
01:11:45,330 --> 01:11:43,780
I'm looking up at the clouds to where

1607
01:11:47,129 --> 01:11:45,340
the Sun will be in about an hour and

1608
01:11:48,239 --> 01:11:47,139
there is a significant cloud cover but

1609
01:11:50,699 --> 01:11:48,249
we're keeping our fingers crossed I do

1610
01:11:52,469 --> 01:11:50,709
see some some pockets of blue in there

1611
01:11:54,239 --> 01:11:52,479
so hopefully we'll get to see something

1612
01:11:56,790 --> 01:11:54,249
but we'll have more for you later in the

1613
01:11:58,229 --> 01:11:56,800
broadcast Wayne I hope you can use some

1614
01:11:59,370 --> 01:11:58,239
of your connections to our get us some

1615
01:12:01,080 --> 01:11:59,380
good weather here in Charleston so the

1616
01:12:02,910 --> 01:12:01,090
moon is already moving across the face

1617
01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:02,920
of the Sun we're getting close to

1618
01:12:07,589 --> 01:12:04,570
viewing our first total eclipse of the

1619
01:12:09,299 --> 01:12:07,599
day we're minutes away and remember the

1620
01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:09,309
total eclipse starts on the west coast

1621
01:12:13,979 --> 01:12:11,650
of the United States in Oregon and we

1622
01:12:16,439 --> 01:12:13,989
will be bringing you live images as it

1623
01:12:18,870 --> 01:12:16,449
occurs NASA's Ames Research Center's

1624
01:12:20,870 --> 01:12:18,880
Jessi carpenter is standing by in Salem

1625
01:12:25,529 --> 01:12:20,880
Oregon at the Oregon State Fairgrounds

1626
01:12:29,129 --> 01:12:25,539
Jessi give us a status report oh wow

1627
01:12:32,250 --> 01:12:29,139
thanks Dwayne totality is almost here

1628
01:12:33,629 --> 01:12:32,260
oh this is so exciting and just before

1629
01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:33,639
we get to that though we want to

1630
01:12:37,109 --> 01:12:35,530
introduce Andrea Edgecombe again from

1631
01:12:39,810 --> 01:12:37,119
the Oregon Museum of Science and

1632
01:12:41,399 --> 01:12:39,820
Industry Hey so tell us just quickly

1633
01:12:43,290 --> 01:12:41,409
tell us a little bit about this really

1634
01:12:45,689 --> 01:12:43,300
fun cool viewing event that's going on

1635
01:12:47,910 --> 01:12:45,699
here yeah well we are here we've almost

1636
01:12:48,870 --> 01:12:47,920
9,000 people here at the Oregon State

1637
01:12:50,310 --> 01:12:48,880
Fairgrounds

1638
01:12:51,630 --> 01:12:50,320
and we've had some cool stage

1639
01:12:52,830 --> 01:12:51,640
presentations we heard from NASA

1640
01:12:55,080 --> 01:12:52,840
astronaut Don Pettit

1641
01:12:57,180 --> 01:12:55,090
he's an Oregonian we had a University of

1642
01:12:58,950 --> 01:12:57,190
Oregon professor and behind us we have

1643
01:13:00,570 --> 01:12:58,960
some space science partners who've been

1644
01:13:02,220 --> 01:13:00,580
doing some cool educational activities

1645
01:13:04,020 --> 01:13:02,230
and really interacting with the crowd so

1646
01:13:05,550 --> 01:13:04,030
it's been an awesome morning and we

1647
01:13:07,980 --> 01:13:05,560
can't wait for totality in a few minutes

1648
01:13:09,570 --> 01:13:07,990
this is such a great event thank you for

1649
01:13:10,640 --> 01:13:09,580
joining us again we really appreciate it

1650
01:13:13,950 --> 01:13:10,650
I know you got to get going

1651
01:13:16,020 --> 01:13:13,960
it's coming soon in joining us now to

1652
01:13:18,450 --> 01:13:16,030
talk to us about the Sun and give us

1653
01:13:20,850 --> 01:13:18,460
more information as NASA lead scientist

1654
01:13:28,980 --> 01:13:20,860
for Eclipse 2017 mato Lika guhathakurta

1655
01:13:31,740 --> 01:13:28,990
from Ames Research Center hi Lika so how

1656
01:13:35,460 --> 01:13:31,750
many of these how many eclipses have you

1657
01:13:38,160 --> 01:13:35,470
seen I went to see nine eclipses and I

1658
01:13:42,150 --> 01:13:38,170
actually ended up seeing six the other

1659
01:13:43,860 --> 01:13:42,160
three had inclement weather that you're

1660
01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:43,870
today no way down and it's gonna be

1661
01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:46,930
seven so what can you what can you tell

1662
01:13:50,940 --> 01:13:48,250
us about the Sun that'll help our

1663
01:13:53,490 --> 01:13:50,950
audience understand better I just want

1664
01:13:57,300 --> 01:13:53,500
to start by saying I'm in awe at this

1665
01:13:59,130 --> 01:13:57,310
moment right now and whatever I say kind

1666
01:14:01,800 --> 01:13:59,140
of take it with that filter because we

1667
01:14:04,460 --> 01:14:01,810
are very close to totality we all live

1668
01:14:07,290 --> 01:14:04,470
in the outer atmosphere of this

1669
01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:07,300
magnificent dynamic magnetically

1670
01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:11,410
variable star that dominates every cubic

1671
01:14:17,370 --> 01:14:15,130
inch of space in our solar system and if

1672
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:17,380
I can get the video what you would see

1673
01:14:23,460 --> 01:14:20,530
in the video is that the Sun produces

1674
01:14:25,590 --> 01:14:23,470
storms that can be all engulfing you

1675
01:14:29,310 --> 01:14:25,600
know generating this environment called

1676
01:14:32,100 --> 01:14:29,320
space weather the inner edge of the

1677
01:14:36,450 --> 01:14:32,110
corona that you see that's black in the

1678
01:14:39,150 --> 01:14:36,460
video Sun is so intense that it

1679
01:14:43,890 --> 01:14:39,160
overwhelms the dim brightness of the

1680
01:14:46,320 --> 01:14:43,900
corona and and so even from space we

1681
01:14:50,220 --> 01:14:46,330
can't absorb the inner part of the

1682
01:14:52,410 --> 01:14:50,230
corona and not only earth you know

1683
01:14:55,890 --> 01:14:52,420
but the entire solar system as you can

1684
01:14:58,830 --> 01:14:55,900
see lives with this dynamic star

1685
01:15:01,520 --> 01:14:58,840
runa is the region where space weather

1686
01:15:05,190 --> 01:15:01,530
is born and conditions are set for a

1687
01:15:08,310 --> 01:15:05,200
supersonic solar wind and a super hot

1688
01:15:11,430 --> 01:15:08,320
Corona two of our outstanding questions

1689
01:15:13,980 --> 01:15:11,440
in Helio physics in physics really to

1690
01:15:16,290 --> 01:15:13,990
understand the corona better NASA is

1691
01:15:18,930 --> 01:15:16,300
actually going to be launching a mission

1692
01:15:21,870 --> 01:15:18,940
next year almost a year from now how

1693
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:21,880
coincidental called Parker Solar Probe

1694
01:15:27,720 --> 01:15:25,330
it is actually going to go touch the Sun

1695
01:15:31,230 --> 01:15:27,730
you know and it's going to get closer to

1696
01:15:34,980 --> 01:15:31,240
any other spacecraft has gone before to

1697
01:15:37,350 --> 01:15:34,990
the Sun to study the corona to actually

1698
01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:37,360
sample the very corona that we will be

1699
01:15:43,020 --> 01:15:40,690
seeing very soon yes we will it's almost

1700
01:15:44,610 --> 01:15:43,030
here thank you thank you Lika for

1701
01:15:48,690 --> 01:15:44,620
joining sure thank you for sharing that

1702
01:15:51,810 --> 01:15:48,700
so now we're gonna take it back to NASA

1703
01:15:55,530 --> 01:15:51,820
Eclipse Central in Charleston take it

1704
01:15:58,440 --> 01:15:55,540
away Wayne okay now just now coming in

1705
01:16:00,750 --> 01:15:58,450
we have an exclusive of the total solar

1706
01:16:02,370 --> 01:16:00,760
eclipse editors arriving at the United

1707
01:16:04,260 --> 01:16:02,380
States is over the Pacific Ocean

1708
01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:04,270
and about to reach organ this is the

1709
01:16:08,250 --> 01:16:06,250
celestial event that we've all been

1710
01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:08,260
waiting and anticipating for years

1711
01:16:13,740 --> 01:16:10,090
we'll begin looking through the eyes of

1712
01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:13,750
NASA out the window of our g3 aircraft

1713
01:16:28,850 --> 01:16:32,270
Wow

1714
01:16:39,020 --> 01:16:34,310
and now we're looking at the first

1715
01:16:40,910 --> 01:16:39,030
glimpse of the total eclipse from the

1716
01:16:42,080 --> 01:16:40,920
ground wait let's see that's still the

1717
01:16:43,310 --> 01:16:42,090
g3 there we go

1718
01:16:44,480 --> 01:16:43,320
and now we're looking at the first

1719
01:16:46,790 --> 01:16:44,490
glimpse of the total eclipse from the

1720
01:16:50,030 --> 01:16:46,800
ground on United States soil this is

1721
01:16:51,590 --> 01:16:50,040
coming to us from Salem Oregon with

1722
01:16:53,660 --> 01:16:51,600
thousands of people our Garrett get

1723
01:16:57,740 --> 01:16:53,670
gathered in experiencing this monumental

1724
01:17:04,550 --> 01:16:57,750
event a total solar eclipse let's take a

1725
01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:14,040
[Music]

1726
01:17:14,050 --> 01:17:35,560
that's the g3 there

1727
01:17:35,570 --> 01:19:18,669
great

1728
01:19:29,229 --> 01:19:27,010
okay as the moon is now moved the Sun is

1729
01:19:32,530 --> 01:19:29,239
appearing again we can see the diamond

1730
01:19:33,340 --> 01:19:32,540
ring it's amazing it's fantastic you see

1731
01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:33,350
the outer edge

1732
01:19:46,060 --> 01:19:36,290
I see prominences little red pieces of

1733
01:19:48,790 --> 01:19:46,070
chromaspheres03 480p and I just even

1734
01:19:51,070 --> 01:19:48,800
seen it right now through the TV it's

1735
01:19:52,840 --> 01:19:51,080
just an amazing thing to see I cannot

1736
01:19:54,729 --> 01:19:52,850
imagine what we're gonna feel here in

1737
01:19:56,380 --> 01:19:54,739
South Carolina when we have our chance

1738
01:19:58,330 --> 01:19:56,390
well I hope we have our chance a good

1739
01:19:59,680 --> 01:19:58,340
you know Shawn and you know get get that

1740
01:20:07,979 --> 01:19:59,690
weather up here looking good here in

1741
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:11,370
now what so Alex oh and Alex will you

1742
01:20:14,490 --> 01:20:12,010
stand here

1743
01:20:16,979 --> 01:20:14,500
that's that from the g3 that looks like

1744
01:20:18,780 --> 01:20:16,989
from the g3 because I see spectra there

1745
01:20:20,729 --> 01:20:18,790
no still from Salem that's still from

1746
01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:20,739
Salem okay so you're seeing the bright

1747
01:20:24,690 --> 01:20:23,290
actually the camera is causing a little

1748
01:20:26,190 --> 01:20:24,700
prison effect there and you're seeing

1749
01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:26,200
the bright light from the edge of the

1750
01:20:30,420 --> 01:20:28,690
Sun so that is really beautiful that's

1751
01:20:31,860 --> 01:20:30,430
sort of the edge of the diamond ring

1752
01:20:33,959 --> 01:20:31,870
effect yeah

1753
01:20:35,340 --> 01:20:33,969
so now a reminder Alex owned that

1754
01:20:37,020 --> 01:20:35,350
diamond ring pops up that's what people

1755
01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:37,030
should put the Vasiliy people should put

1756
01:20:40,680 --> 01:20:38,650
your glasses back on so when you see

1757
01:20:42,660 --> 01:20:40,690
that diamond ring after totality that's

1758
01:20:47,370 --> 01:20:42,670
the signal to you that it's time to put

1759
01:20:49,200 --> 01:20:47,380
it back on so look now we see the corona

1760
01:20:51,810 --> 01:20:49,210
and Madras that's gorgeous that's

1761
01:20:53,130 --> 01:20:51,820
amazing yeah being able to look at that

1762
01:20:55,110 --> 01:20:53,140
with your own eyes is an amazing

1763
01:20:57,450 --> 01:20:55,120
experience and that only can be seen

1764
01:21:00,510 --> 01:20:57,460
when you have this kind of totality so

1765
01:21:02,250 --> 01:21:00,520
that that the corona that's the the

1766
01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:02,260
solar atmosphere that's what that's what

1767
01:21:05,160 --> 01:21:04,210
solar scientists really live for right

1768
01:21:07,140 --> 01:21:05,170
right right

1769
01:21:09,690 --> 01:21:07,150
that is the orange that is where the

1770
01:21:11,459 --> 01:21:09,700
origin of space weather yeah that's

1771
01:21:13,110 --> 01:21:11,469
where it comes from that's where most of

1772
01:21:14,520 --> 01:21:13,120
the solar flares and the coronal mass

1773
01:21:17,190 --> 01:21:14,530
ejections biggest portion of the

1774
01:21:19,110 --> 01:21:17,200
particles originated from deliver solar

1775
01:21:20,520 --> 01:21:19,120
activity we see it right now would we be

1776
01:21:22,590 --> 01:21:20,530
able to see that popping up on the side

1777
01:21:25,620 --> 01:21:22,600
we if there was a coronal mass ejection

1778
01:21:28,110 --> 01:21:25,630
leaving the Sun we would we could see it

1779
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:28,120
there because in fact we have seen it in

1780
01:21:33,180 --> 01:21:30,010
the past and I'll even show some history

1781
01:21:35,340 --> 01:21:33,190
later with images that people drew of

1782
01:21:37,500 --> 01:21:35,350
these coronal mass ejections leaving the

1783
01:21:39,660 --> 01:21:37,510
Sun during a total solar eclipse now why

1784
01:21:42,300 --> 01:21:39,670
is it so critical and so important to

1785
01:21:44,700 --> 01:21:42,310
really get this type of view from the

1786
01:21:47,430 --> 01:21:44,710
sun's atmosphere from the corona Johnny

1787
01:21:50,610 --> 01:21:47,440
you mean like in a total Solaris oh

1788
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:50,620
there's a diamond that's amazing that's

1789
01:21:56,820 --> 01:21:54,010
the Madras Wow it is important to do

1790
01:21:59,280 --> 01:21:56,830
this because we do this kind of eclipses

1791
01:22:01,650 --> 01:21:59,290
artificially but we do not do it as

1792
01:22:03,420 --> 01:22:01,660
perfect as nature thus the moon covers

1793
01:22:04,860 --> 01:22:03,430
Sun in such a perfect way that we see

1794
01:22:08,280 --> 01:22:04,870
parts of the corona that we don't

1795
01:22:11,010 --> 01:22:08,290
usually see so Alex explained that and

1796
01:22:12,870 --> 01:22:11,020
safety too right so right now this was

1797
01:22:14,370 --> 01:22:12,880
the moment when you see that flash of

1798
01:22:16,410 --> 01:22:14,380
light that's the moment when it's time

1799
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:16,420
to put your glasses back on or start

1800
01:22:20,130 --> 01:22:18,010
using your indirect methods because now

1801
01:22:22,500 --> 01:22:20,140
it's too bright and

1802
01:22:24,150 --> 01:22:22,510
to damage your eyes yeah safety first

1803
01:22:26,040 --> 01:22:24,160
people oh wait

1804
01:22:28,800 --> 01:22:26,050
wow so the folks in Salem Morgan I mean

1805
01:22:30,780 --> 01:22:28,810
they're like to me they've got it they

1806
01:22:33,990 --> 01:22:30,790
are having a goose they've got a perfect

1807
01:22:36,500 --> 01:22:34,000
view and they're seeing the Nate's one

1808
01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:36,510
of nature's most amazing spectacles I

1809
01:22:41,850 --> 01:22:39,970
can just I can only imagine the reaction

1810
01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:41,860
on the ground from the folks there oh

1811
01:22:46,440 --> 01:22:44,530
they are probably got sweetly

1812
01:22:49,140 --> 01:22:46,450
overwhelmed right now clearly

1813
01:22:52,530 --> 01:22:49,150
overwhelmed well I certainly hope we get

1814
01:22:54,120 --> 01:22:52,540
something like that but we've got it

1815
01:22:55,940 --> 01:22:54,130
we've got it here on that's the

1816
01:22:57,930 --> 01:22:55,950
television through the eyes of NASA and

1817
01:23:00,750 --> 01:22:57,940
we've got the International Space

1818
01:23:15,540 --> 01:23:00,760
Station coming up and other images only

1819
01:23:20,940 --> 01:23:18,300
now is it completely dark oh is it

1820
01:23:23,400 --> 01:23:20,950
coming out what happening now is the the

1821
01:23:25,890 --> 01:23:23,410
filters are back on the safe solar

1822
01:23:29,340 --> 01:23:25,900
filters for the telescope and now you

1823
01:23:33,690 --> 01:23:29,350
see the Crescent which is the Sun

1824
01:23:36,990 --> 01:23:33,700
basically now being revealed after the

1825
01:23:39,600 --> 01:23:37,000
Eclipse so we're now back to the partial

1826
01:23:42,150 --> 01:23:39,610
faith in the other direction exactly now

1827
01:23:45,420 --> 01:23:42,160
how fast is this going well this shadow

1828
01:23:48,030 --> 01:23:45,430
is passing across the country depending

1829
01:23:50,970 --> 01:23:48,040
on where you are anywhere from 1,200 to

1830
01:23:53,130 --> 01:23:50,980
1,800 miles an hour so this is moving

1831
01:23:56,970 --> 01:23:53,140
incredibly fast because the moon itself

1832
01:23:59,700 --> 01:23:56,980
in its orbit is moving at almost 35 3400

1833
01:24:01,590 --> 01:23:59,710
miles an hour and that in combination

1834
01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:01,600
with the rotation of the earth is what

1835
01:24:06,480 --> 01:24:04,050
gives us a shadow moving that fast

1836
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:06,490
okay so gati let's let's talk about

1837
01:24:12,080 --> 01:24:09,730
Spacey weather seeing this in space

1838
01:24:14,310 --> 01:24:12,090
weather is so important so just let us

1839
01:24:16,350 --> 01:24:14,320
really understand why it's important on

1840
01:24:18,450 --> 01:24:16,360
space weather so space weather is pretty

1841
01:24:21,300 --> 01:24:18,460
much the conditions created outside in

1842
01:24:23,070 --> 01:24:21,310
space due to the Sun we look at space

1843
01:24:24,870 --> 01:24:23,080
weather because we want to understand

1844
01:24:29,150 --> 01:24:24,880
these conditions if you look at the

1845
01:24:32,660 --> 01:24:29,160
image that you have now you're gonna see

1846
01:24:35,130 --> 01:24:32,670
SDO image the SOI dynamic Observatory

1847
01:24:37,530 --> 01:24:35,140
that's where we actually look for the

1848
01:24:39,420 --> 01:24:37,540
source of space weather where the solar

1849
01:24:43,710 --> 01:24:39,430
flares and the coronal mass ejections

1850
01:24:48,870 --> 01:24:43,720
actually originate from well when we

1851
01:24:51,300 --> 01:24:48,880
look at a co at the images we also have

1852
01:24:52,920 --> 01:24:51,310
to look at artificial eclipses

1853
01:24:55,440 --> 01:24:52,930
like they one day you looking out online

1854
01:24:57,540 --> 01:24:55,450
now these are actually from the solo

1855
01:24:59,130 --> 01:24:57,550
spacecraft these are the artificial

1856
01:25:01,890 --> 01:24:59,140
eclipses that I was talking about doing

1857
01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:01,900
like this you have to block the solar

1858
01:25:07,680 --> 01:25:03,850
surface to be able to see the solar

1859
01:25:09,570 --> 01:25:07,690
atmosphere the outside corner but you're

1860
01:25:11,640 --> 01:25:09,580
gonna see something like this today and

1861
01:25:13,380 --> 01:25:11,650
you saw it but you're gonna see it

1862
01:25:15,390 --> 01:25:13,390
better because nature does it better

1863
01:25:18,720 --> 01:25:15,400
then we can actually do it artificially

1864
01:25:21,420 --> 01:25:18,730
right now the activity is not there not

1865
01:25:24,630 --> 01:25:21,430
too much going on in the Sun however if

1866
01:25:27,150 --> 01:25:24,640
I do at historic event which actually

1867
01:25:27,650 --> 01:25:27,160
was from this past July you can see a

1868
01:25:29,810 --> 01:25:27,660
corner

1869
01:25:32,420 --> 01:25:29,820
mass ejection this big explosion of

1870
01:25:34,580 --> 01:25:32,430
particles that come from the Sun well

1871
01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:34,590
that's pretty intense we have to worry

1872
01:25:40,100 --> 01:25:38,010
about that that doesn't look good well

1873
01:25:42,920 --> 01:25:40,110
you know space weather what can actually

1874
01:25:44,480 --> 01:25:42,930
do suspect communications we have the

1875
01:25:46,610 --> 01:25:44,490
magnetic field of the earth to actually

1876
01:25:48,860 --> 01:25:46,620
protect us it's our shield and what we

1877
01:25:50,660 --> 01:25:48,870
do is we actually can analyze that using

1878
01:25:53,480 --> 01:25:50,670
real time models like the one that you

1879
01:25:55,730 --> 01:25:53,490
see on on the screen that we actually

1880
01:25:57,380 --> 01:25:55,740
understand how the magnetic field of the

1881
01:25:59,810 --> 01:25:57,390
earth changes with those coronal mass

1882
01:26:01,730 --> 01:25:59,820
ejections but faithful that can affect

1883
01:26:05,420 --> 01:26:01,740
communications satellite instruments and

1884
01:26:10,280 --> 01:26:05,430
power grids okay so we're going to toss

1885
01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:10,290
to Idaho and I think we've really got

1886
01:26:20,570 --> 01:26:13,410
some good stuff here gay Hill are you

1887
01:26:23,270 --> 01:26:20,580
there in Idaho Falls absolutely here

1888
01:26:25,820 --> 01:26:23,280
Dwane Brown in fact looking through the

1889
01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:25,830
glasses right now it's so weird we have

1890
01:26:33,740 --> 01:26:28,410
a crescent Sun instead of a crescent

1891
01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:33,750
moon this is the I think we haven't had

1892
01:26:40,520 --> 01:26:37,290
a total eclipse here in Idaho Falls

1893
01:26:43,010 --> 01:26:40,530
since 1889 a hundred and twenty-eight

1894
01:26:45,350 --> 01:26:43,020
years ago and things have certainly

1895
01:26:46,730 --> 01:26:45,360
changed in Idaho Falls since then

1896
01:26:49,010 --> 01:26:46,740
there's a whole lot more people

1897
01:26:52,850 --> 01:26:49,020
especially with all the visitors in town

1898
01:26:55,940 --> 01:26:52,860
we're just outside the Museum of Idaho

1899
01:26:59,030 --> 01:26:55,950
and we have partnered with the museum to

1900
01:27:03,200 --> 01:26:59,040
make this an official viewing site for

1901
01:27:06,500 --> 01:27:03,210
Idaho and they right now have an exhibit

1902
01:27:09,140 --> 01:27:06,510
on space but we also sent in a team of

1903
01:27:12,680 --> 01:27:09,150
experts and for the past three days

1904
01:27:15,650 --> 01:27:12,690
we've had talks we've had demonstrations

1905
01:27:18,200 --> 01:27:15,660
we've shown them visualizations such as

1906
01:27:21,560 --> 01:27:18,210
eyes on the solar system and we've shown

1907
01:27:24,500 --> 01:27:21,570
them artwork but really the order of the

1908
01:27:27,050 --> 01:27:24,510
day is the Eclipse and NASA has that

1909
01:27:29,840 --> 01:27:27,060
covered too they have sent an army of

1910
01:27:32,580 --> 01:27:29,850
volunteers we call them solar system

1911
01:27:35,100 --> 01:27:32,590
ambassadors they are all along

1912
01:27:37,439 --> 01:27:35,110
path of totality and the volunteers

1913
01:27:39,450 --> 01:27:37,449
these are people just telling people

1914
01:27:42,450 --> 01:27:39,460
what they're seeing and helping them

1915
01:27:45,629 --> 01:27:42,460
understand we have one here right here

1916
01:27:48,410 --> 01:27:45,639
his name is Richard Stamper hey Richard

1917
01:27:51,030 --> 01:27:48,420
he has been manning in this mobile

1918
01:27:54,270 --> 01:27:51,040
observatory and that is what is

1919
01:27:56,609 --> 01:27:54,280
providing our solar telescope shot right

1920
01:28:00,120 --> 01:27:56,619
now now we asked him what's it like

1921
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:00,130
being a solar system ambassador and he

1922
01:28:05,970 --> 01:28:03,010
said follow along we did and we went

1923
01:28:36,740 --> 01:28:05,980
with him to a place a school in Southern

1924
01:28:42,870 --> 01:28:40,140
all right we apologize there is no audio

1925
01:28:44,580 --> 01:28:42,880
on that video but it talks about the

1926
01:28:47,760 --> 01:28:44,590
solar system ambassadors there are about

1927
01:28:50,670 --> 01:28:47,770
720 in the United States they get

1928
01:28:53,160 --> 01:28:50,680
special training from NASA they learn

1929
01:28:55,380 --> 01:28:53,170
all about the missions and about the

1930
01:28:57,210 --> 01:28:55,390
science and they basically go out to

1931
01:29:00,330 --> 01:28:57,220
public events all over the country

1932
01:29:03,030 --> 01:29:00,340
teaching them about NASA missions if you

1933
01:29:06,360 --> 01:29:03,040
would be interested in becoming a solar

1934
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:06,370
system ambassador yourself you can we

1935
01:29:11,520 --> 01:29:09,010
have a website look it up solar system

1936
01:29:14,580 --> 01:29:11,530
ambassadors it is a NASA website and

1937
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:14,590
starting September 1 September 1 through

1938
01:29:20,820 --> 01:29:18,010
the end of the month you can sign up to

1939
01:29:21,900 --> 01:29:20,830
be a solar system ambassador so check it

1940
01:29:25,170 --> 01:29:21,910
out on the web

1941
01:29:29,210 --> 01:29:25,180
solar system ambassador with me now is

1942
01:29:32,700 --> 01:29:29,220
Jim Green Jim Green is the head of

1943
01:29:35,040 --> 01:29:32,710
planetary science for NASA he's in

1944
01:29:38,130 --> 01:29:35,050
charge of all planetary missions and

1945
01:29:41,400 --> 01:29:38,140
asteroids this guy knows his stuff let's

1946
01:29:43,590 --> 01:29:41,410
talk about this now you see this eclipse

1947
01:29:46,080 --> 01:29:43,600
that doesn't happen it happens once in

1948
01:29:48,060 --> 01:29:46,090
the lifetime but is that as a scientist

1949
01:29:50,610 --> 01:29:48,070
you see it as an opportunity oh

1950
01:29:53,160 --> 01:29:50,620
absolutely I mean we were getting the

1951
01:29:55,530 --> 01:29:53,170
eerie feeling right now but when we

1952
01:29:58,890 --> 01:29:55,540
launch balloons and there'll be 57

1953
01:30:01,920 --> 01:29:58,900
balloons along the path 30 of which are

1954
01:30:04,680 --> 01:30:01,930
going to have a planetary experiment on

1955
01:30:07,080 --> 01:30:04,690
them and we have video of this now just

1956
01:30:09,600 --> 01:30:07,090
a few days ago we had a crew here they

1957
01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:09,610
did a test launch for us and they sent

1958
01:30:16,350 --> 01:30:12,970
up an imaginary payload for us just to

1959
01:30:19,770 --> 01:30:16,360
see how it all works you have actual

1960
01:30:24,150 --> 01:30:19,780
scientific experiments going up we do we

1961
01:30:27,720 --> 01:30:24,160
have a kind of bacillus it's a harmless

1962
01:30:29,610 --> 01:30:27,730
bacteria we have on 30 balloons two

1963
01:30:32,580 --> 01:30:29,620
coupons where the bacteria will be

1964
01:30:34,980 --> 01:30:32,590
sprayed one will stay on the ground one

1965
01:30:37,140 --> 01:30:34,990
will be affixed to the balloon it then

1966
01:30:40,590 --> 01:30:37,150
will go up to a hundred thousand feet

1967
01:30:43,950 --> 01:30:40,600
above the ozone so the ultraviolet light

1968
01:30:46,920 --> 01:30:43,960
also blocked a little bit by the moon is

1969
01:30:47,459 --> 01:30:46,930
just like Mars in addition to that the

1970
01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:47,469
temperature

1971
01:30:52,590 --> 01:30:50,770
pressure will be just like Mars so when

1972
01:30:55,800 --> 01:30:52,600
the balloon goes up higher and bursts

1973
01:30:58,830 --> 01:30:55,810
comes down we'll retrieve that coupon

1974
01:31:01,140 --> 01:30:58,840
off the balloon match it with the with

1975
01:31:03,510 --> 01:31:01,150
the one on the ground and then we'll see

1976
01:31:06,030 --> 01:31:03,520
how many survived now why is that

1977
01:31:06,930 --> 01:31:06,040
information so critical for Mars

1978
01:31:08,880 --> 01:31:06,940
research

1979
01:31:11,490 --> 01:31:08,890
well this bacteria is pretty much

1980
01:31:13,439 --> 01:31:11,500
everywhere it's very Hardy and it

1981
01:31:15,900 --> 01:31:13,449
probably has made its way to Mars

1982
01:31:18,450 --> 01:31:15,910
perhaps even on our rover so now I would

1983
01:31:21,180 --> 01:31:18,460
like to know if that environment is so

1984
01:31:23,400 --> 01:31:21,190
harsh that it would eliminate the that

1985
01:31:26,820 --> 01:31:23,410
bacteria or not all right

1986
01:31:29,760 --> 01:31:26,830
I'm being selfish I have never seen a

1987
01:31:32,220 --> 01:31:29,770
total eclipse and I'm sorry I would love

1988
01:31:34,320 --> 01:31:32,230
to talk to all of you people but I want

1989
01:31:36,990 --> 01:31:34,330
to put on my glasses too and take a look

1990
01:31:40,260 --> 01:31:37,000
can we continue this conversation all

1991
01:31:43,740 --> 01:31:40,270
right and watch and we can talk alright

1992
01:31:45,810 --> 01:31:43,750
so one sliver just a little sliver of

1993
01:31:49,709 --> 01:31:45,820
the Sun right now and let's talk about

1994
01:31:52,770 --> 01:31:49,719
this why is this so rare well you know

1995
01:31:55,290 --> 01:31:52,780
the plain of the Moon relative to the

1996
01:31:57,180 --> 01:31:55,300
Earth's Sun line is tilted by five

1997
01:32:00,870 --> 01:31:57,190
degrees and so there's only two places

1998
01:32:03,240 --> 01:32:00,880
where the moon and the earth and Sun are

1999
01:32:11,890 --> 01:32:03,250
on that same line and that's why every

2000
01:32:21,030 --> 01:32:15,870
[Applause]

2001
01:32:25,320 --> 01:32:21,040
it's already suck Wow just got dark all

2002
01:32:27,330 --> 01:32:25,330
around us and you can feel the

2003
01:32:29,520 --> 01:32:27,340
temperature getting colder oh yeah

2004
01:32:30,990 --> 01:32:29,530
the winds are really picking up you know

2005
01:32:34,500 --> 01:32:31,000
this dark area the winds are just

2006
01:32:47,310 --> 01:32:34,510
flowing in oh you could it's just a tiny

2007
01:32:49,210 --> 01:32:47,320
tiny sliver right now where it goes it's

2008
01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:49,220
going getting slower

2009
01:32:53,040 --> 01:32:52,290
[Applause]

2010
01:33:05,440 --> 01:32:53,050
[Music]

2011
01:33:15,610 --> 01:33:08,590
look at the race structure you can't get

2012
01:33:22,210 --> 01:33:15,620
that on film that there's penis they're

2013
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:29,690
Wow oh look at that race structure you

2014
01:33:34,100 --> 01:33:31,530
were saying this is the only way you can

2015
01:33:35,900 --> 01:33:34,110
see the atmosphere yeah that lower part

2016
01:33:49,160 --> 01:33:35,910
of the corona is really even hard from

2017
01:33:51,050 --> 01:33:49,170
space to see Wow I'm going to spend a

2018
01:33:52,270 --> 01:33:51,060
second looking around in the crowd oh my

2019
01:33:59,580 --> 01:33:52,280
goodness

2020
01:33:59,590 --> 01:34:22,600
[Music]

2021
01:34:22,610 --> 01:34:29,200
have you noticed Jim the streetlights

2022
01:34:38,870 --> 01:34:35,180
streetlights who would have thought that

2023
01:34:41,260 --> 01:34:38,880
we didn't plan that one all right we

2024
01:34:50,110 --> 01:34:41,270
should get ready for our glasses again

2025
01:34:57,570 --> 01:34:51,800
[Music]

2026
01:35:02,490 --> 01:34:58,810
[Applause]

2027
01:35:04,060 --> 01:35:02,500
[Music]

2028
01:35:18,610 --> 01:35:04,070
[Applause]

2029
01:35:22,930 --> 01:35:18,620
oh that's brilliant all right Wow okay

2030
01:35:22,940 --> 01:35:31,530
to breathe to breathe

2031
01:35:35,110 --> 01:35:31,750
[Applause]

2032
01:35:40,850 --> 01:35:37,670
we're gonna have to wrap this up pretty

2033
01:35:44,840 --> 01:35:40,860
soon Jim that was incredible way too

2034
01:35:46,490 --> 01:35:44,850
brief yeah we got a minute 50 seconds

2035
01:35:48,200 --> 01:35:46,500
that was all we had

2036
01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:48,210
why is it that some parts of the country

2037
01:35:51,740 --> 01:35:50,010
get a little more than we do what has to

2038
01:35:55,700 --> 01:35:51,750
do with the curvature of the earth also

2039
01:35:57,950 --> 01:35:55,710
and so the you know the shadow is at

2040
01:36:00,920 --> 01:35:57,960
various altitudes you could go up at a

2041
01:36:03,290 --> 01:36:00,930
higher altitude and get a get also a

2042
01:36:04,910 --> 01:36:03,300
great view too well this was a real tree

2043
01:36:08,270 --> 01:36:04,920
this was fantastic

2044
01:36:11,090 --> 01:36:08,280
so Idaho Falls has had its total eclipse

2045
01:36:14,600 --> 01:36:11,100
the next one is coming in twenty two

2046
01:36:19,130 --> 01:36:14,610
fifty two we will be here but we hope

2047
01:36:20,510 --> 01:36:19,140
NASA will back to you yeah here let's

2048
01:36:21,800 --> 01:36:20,520
get here from NASA's Jet Propulsion

2049
01:36:23,990 --> 01:36:21,810
Laboratory

2050
01:36:27,200 --> 01:36:24,000
yay I'm jealous I'm telling you I'm

2051
01:36:32,090 --> 01:36:27,210
jealous so Alex explain again that

2052
01:36:34,220 --> 01:36:32,100
diamond well so the last bit of sunlight

2053
01:36:35,720 --> 01:36:34,230
when you see it at the very beginning is

2054
01:36:37,670 --> 01:36:35,730
when the last bit of the Sun the

2055
01:36:40,100 --> 01:36:37,680
Crescent shrinks down to a little tiny

2056
01:36:42,140 --> 01:36:40,110
bit and at the same time you can see a

2057
01:36:44,030 --> 01:36:42,150
ring of the corona around it so that

2058
01:36:45,830 --> 01:36:44,040
makes the ring and then that bright bit

2059
01:36:47,330 --> 01:36:45,840
of Crescent gives you the diamond so

2060
01:36:50,450 --> 01:36:47,340
when it reappears you get the same thing

2061
01:36:53,210 --> 01:36:50,460
the last bit of corona is a ring the

2062
01:36:55,280 --> 01:36:53,220
flash of the Sun is the diamond giving

2063
01:36:56,870 --> 01:36:55,290
you the diamond ring it's a beautiful

2064
01:36:57,830 --> 01:36:56,880
beautiful sight and real quick and then

2065
01:36:58,970 --> 01:36:57,840
I'm gonna ask you a question because

2066
01:37:01,940 --> 01:36:58,980
there was something going on here in

2067
01:37:03,800 --> 01:37:01,950
Charleston the planetary Jim Green said

2068
01:37:05,780 --> 01:37:03,810
something about Venus this is really

2069
01:37:07,580 --> 01:37:05,790
cool for planetary science because you

2070
01:37:09,860 --> 01:37:07,590
can see how the planets right absolutely

2071
01:37:13,940 --> 01:37:09,870
and as a matter of fact one of our our

2072
01:37:16,220 --> 01:37:13,950
missions through the WB 57 aircraft are

2073
01:37:18,920 --> 01:37:16,230
studying mercury which is very very

2074
01:37:20,300 --> 01:37:18,930
close to the Sun okay so we're gonna

2075
01:37:21,350 --> 01:37:20,310
we're gonna we're gonna come back to you

2076
01:37:23,750 --> 01:37:21,360
and we're gonna talk about what's

2077
01:37:25,850 --> 01:37:23,760
happening here so the next up NASA is

2078
01:37:27,740 --> 01:37:25,860
ready to take a bite out of the Big

2079
01:37:28,610 --> 01:37:27,750
Apple one of my favorite cities out in

2080
01:37:34,310 --> 01:37:28,620
New York City

2081
01:37:36,200 --> 01:37:34,320
City today's broadcast is being shown I

2082
01:37:38,540 --> 01:37:36,210
believe in time spray on the Toshiba

2083
01:37:40,460 --> 01:37:38,550
vision screen so the city can also enjoy

2084
01:37:42,290 --> 01:37:40,470
the spectacular views of today's Tola

2085
01:37:43,310 --> 01:37:42,300
eclipse and we've got a great

2086
01:37:45,530 --> 01:37:43,320
relationship

2087
01:37:48,589 --> 01:37:45,540
toshiba saw shout out to you guys this

2088
01:37:50,750 --> 01:37:48,599
midtown Manhattan tourist location is

2089
01:37:53,510 --> 01:37:50,760
always bustling with crowds on the

2090
01:37:55,550 --> 01:37:53,520
average day over 300,000 people pass

2091
01:37:57,649 --> 01:37:55,560
through Times Square Alex I'm gonna turn

2092
01:37:59,359 --> 01:37:57,659
to you you know New York they went get a

2093
01:38:02,030 --> 01:37:59,369
posture but they have a rich history and

2094
01:38:05,810 --> 01:38:02,040
so lately they really do so actually 92

2095
01:38:08,140 --> 01:38:05,820
years ago on a cold January morning New

2096
01:38:10,879 --> 01:38:08,150
York City Manhattan and queens

2097
01:38:13,160 --> 01:38:10,889
experienced a total solar eclipse the

2098
01:38:16,129 --> 01:38:13,170
edge of the path of totality went from

2099
01:38:18,050 --> 01:38:16,139
95th Street to 97th Street this was an

2100
01:38:20,870 --> 01:38:18,060
amazing opportunity this was the first

2101
01:38:23,990 --> 01:38:20,880
time we sent up to dirigibles with the

2102
01:38:26,839 --> 01:38:24,000
US Naval Service for scientists to study

2103
01:38:29,870 --> 01:38:26,849
this at the time we actually thought

2104
01:38:32,569 --> 01:38:29,880
eclipses could be creating radio waves

2105
01:38:34,850 --> 01:38:32,579
which messed with communication but what

2106
01:38:37,580 --> 01:38:34,860
in fact is happening is the Sun itself

2107
01:38:39,530 --> 01:38:37,590
is creating this disturbance so studying

2108
01:38:41,870 --> 01:38:39,540
the Eclipse is actually telling us about

2109
01:38:46,100 --> 01:38:41,880
the Sun which is creating these

2110
01:38:49,490 --> 01:38:46,110
disturbances here on earth yes okay so

2111
01:38:50,930 --> 01:38:49,500
this just in I believe we have results

2112
01:38:52,700 --> 01:38:50,940
from an experiment that occurred on

2113
01:38:54,500 --> 01:38:52,710
NASA's Gulfstream three aircraft from

2114
01:38:56,720 --> 01:38:54,510
NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center

2115
01:38:58,790 --> 01:38:56,730
Karen roars standing by with Thomas of

2116
01:39:00,350 --> 01:38:58,800
Buchan the social administrator for the

2117
01:39:01,700 --> 01:39:00,360
NASA science Mission Directorate let's

2118
01:39:03,919 --> 01:39:01,710
go now to see what the instrument

2119
01:39:16,380 --> 01:39:03,929
observe doing the total solar eclipse

2120
01:39:20,880 --> 01:39:18,990
and we're back here at the t3 up over

2121
01:39:24,030 --> 01:39:20,890
the Pacific Ocean off the coast of

2122
01:39:26,280 --> 01:39:24,040
Oregon it was amazing wasn't it for me

2123
01:39:27,630 --> 01:39:26,290
like you know at 25 years I did research

2124
01:39:29,580 --> 01:39:27,640
on the corona I saw it for the first

2125
01:39:30,930 --> 01:39:29,590
time it was my first Eclipse was it your

2126
01:39:33,210 --> 01:39:30,940
first the clinic first Eclipse as well

2127
01:39:34,850 --> 01:39:33,220
just absolutely amazing and and I want

2128
01:39:37,620 --> 01:39:34,860
to talk about two things first of all

2129
01:39:39,570 --> 01:39:37,630
the shape of the corona you know I saw

2130
01:39:41,460 --> 01:39:39,580
the models I showed the model and it was

2131
01:39:43,110 --> 01:39:41,470
remarkably similar you know I saw these

2132
01:39:45,780 --> 01:39:43,120
streamers these magnetic structures

2133
01:39:47,970 --> 01:39:45,790
coming out like close and specific

2134
01:39:49,680 --> 01:39:47,980
directions just like we expected so I'll

2135
01:39:51,510 --> 01:39:49,690
look for the analysis before we claim

2136
01:39:53,460 --> 01:39:51,520
victory of course but the other one is

2137
01:39:58,710 --> 01:39:53,470
that spectrograph you are Mike you know

2138
01:40:00,660 --> 01:39:58,720
ran on board and just before that some

2139
01:40:02,160 --> 01:40:00,670
you know disappear behind the moon that

2140
01:40:04,590 --> 01:40:02,170
spectrograph of course is spreading out

2141
01:40:06,690 --> 01:40:04,600
the light in ever in all its colors

2142
01:40:08,730 --> 01:40:06,700
since before it disappeared there is

2143
01:40:11,540 --> 01:40:08,740
that one shot that lori i want to ask

2144
01:40:14,730 --> 01:40:11,550
you to turn it on you see those specific

2145
01:40:17,250 --> 01:40:14,740
kind of lines that pop up between a

2146
01:40:19,470 --> 01:40:17,260
green and the red is just like we said

2147
01:40:21,390 --> 01:40:19,480
it's helium remember that's how it was

2148
01:40:23,640 --> 01:40:21,400
discovered helium we didn't know we had

2149
01:40:25,320 --> 01:40:23,650
helium here it was a new element it was

2150
01:40:28,830 --> 01:40:25,330
discovered that way and then over there

2151
01:40:31,170 --> 01:40:28,840
in the red between green the red is iron

2152
01:40:33,000 --> 01:40:31,180
I are not really hot iron telling us

2153
01:40:35,400 --> 01:40:33,010
that hey this atmosphere is really hot

2154
01:40:37,380 --> 01:40:35,410
and then a little bit over it's it's

2155
01:40:40,950 --> 01:40:37,390
another line red well what is that well

2156
01:40:43,020 --> 01:40:40,960
it's hydrogen well so even though it's

2157
01:40:45,270 --> 01:40:43,030
really hot up there and only one and a

2158
01:40:48,240 --> 01:40:45,280
million or ten of million particles are

2159
01:40:51,780 --> 01:40:48,250
neutral it's still visible in that one

2160
01:40:54,450 --> 01:40:51,790
shot that you saw so i robert back to

2161
01:40:57,330 --> 01:40:54,460
you here back on earth what did you feel

2162
01:40:59,010 --> 01:40:57,340
like how did you see this occur it was

2163
01:41:00,800 --> 01:40:59,020
fascinating to watch actually the shadow

2164
01:41:03,750 --> 01:41:00,810
or the tread the path of totality

2165
01:41:06,720 --> 01:41:03,760
underneath us we're at 35,000 feet and

2166
01:41:08,280 --> 01:41:06,730
you could you could see at totality you

2167
01:41:10,110 --> 01:41:08,290
could actually see the darkness down on

2168
01:41:11,610 --> 01:41:10,120
the ground and you can look north and

2169
01:41:14,040 --> 01:41:11,620
south and see where it wasn't completely

2170
01:41:15,840 --> 01:41:14,050
dark and as it as we kept going you

2171
01:41:17,430 --> 01:41:15,850
could just watch that darkness move is

2172
01:41:19,380 --> 01:41:17,440
almost like a thunderstorm moving across

2173
01:41:20,970 --> 01:41:19,390
the plains but it was all the darkness

2174
01:41:23,970 --> 01:41:20,980
and it was just stunning to me to see

2175
01:41:25,860 --> 01:41:23,980
that so really really good stuff and i

2176
01:41:27,450 --> 01:41:25,870
wasn't expecting that and of course the

2177
01:41:28,040 --> 01:41:27,460
eclipse itself was beautiful but seeing

2178
01:41:30,170 --> 01:41:28,050
what happened on

2179
01:41:32,600 --> 01:41:30,180
down on the ground level of Earth's from

2180
01:41:34,130 --> 01:41:32,610
35,000 feet was amazing I just got to

2181
01:41:35,420 --> 01:41:34,140
tell you the team on this plane and the

2182
01:41:36,860 --> 01:41:35,430
team all the way around this country is

2183
01:41:38,860 --> 01:41:36,870
just doing a fantastic job I wish you

2184
01:41:41,660 --> 01:41:38,870
could have seen the folks here working

2185
01:41:43,460 --> 01:41:41,670
to make sure we got the data that Thomas

2186
01:41:44,960 --> 01:41:43,470
showed some fantastic images we've

2187
01:41:48,560 --> 01:41:44,970
already looked at that I can't wait to

2188
01:41:50,780 --> 01:41:48,570
share with everybody and for everybody

2189
01:41:52,580 --> 01:41:50,790
to see but really exciting to watch this

2190
01:41:54,980 --> 01:41:52,590
team work and the pilots did a great job

2191
01:41:56,600 --> 01:41:54,990
we had a little bit of a little bit of a

2192
01:41:58,760 --> 01:41:56,610
challenge right it right at this time of

2193
01:42:01,340 --> 01:41:58,770
when we need to be best but they did a

2194
01:42:02,900 --> 01:42:01,350
great job recovering from that and then

2195
01:42:05,180 --> 01:42:02,910
kept us on path all the way through so

2196
01:42:06,470 --> 01:42:05,190
anyway so thank you guys remember don't

2197
01:42:10,390 --> 01:42:06,480
put your glasses on for those you hadn't

2198
01:42:14,090 --> 01:42:12,740
fantastic stuff and you just tuned in

2199
01:42:17,420 --> 01:42:14,100
here you're watching through the eyes of

2200
01:42:20,570 --> 01:42:17,430
NASA NASA television we have the best

2201
01:42:23,120 --> 01:42:20,580
views of the solar eclipse today and

2202
01:42:24,500 --> 01:42:23,130
coming later in the show you don't want

2203
01:42:27,230 --> 01:42:24,510
to miss this the International Space

2204
01:42:29,090 --> 01:42:27,240
Station live now next up let's visit a

2205
01:42:31,510 --> 01:42:29,100
working farm at Austin Page State

2206
01:42:34,340 --> 01:42:31,520
University in Clarksville Tennessee

2207
01:42:36,500 --> 01:42:34,350
agricultural observations and solar

2208
01:42:39,170 --> 01:42:36,510
eclipse viewing activities are underway

2209
01:42:43,790 --> 01:42:39,180
including high altitude balloon launches

2210
01:42:47,210 --> 01:42:43,800
and painting cows painting cows what

2211
01:42:50,650 --> 01:42:47,220
okay all right so now let's go let's go

2212
01:42:54,080 --> 01:42:52,580
naturally excited about the solar

2213
01:42:55,970 --> 01:42:54,090
eclipse but one thing we've learned on

2214
01:42:58,250 --> 01:42:55,980
this working agricultural farm is that

2215
01:42:59,600 --> 01:42:58,260
animals can as well but more on that in

2216
01:43:01,670 --> 01:42:59,610
a moment right now we're getting ready

2217
01:43:03,080 --> 01:43:01,680
to do a live scientific balloon launch

2218
01:43:04,780 --> 01:43:03,090
and joining us to tell us more is

2219
01:43:06,890 --> 01:43:04,790
dominic Critchlow from Austin Peay State

2220
01:43:08,630 --> 01:43:06,900
University thanks for joining us we

2221
01:43:09,500 --> 01:43:08,640
appreciate it so tell the crowd and our

2222
01:43:11,000 --> 01:43:09,510
audience a little bit about the

2223
01:43:12,680 --> 01:43:11,010
scientific payload you have on board

2224
01:43:14,660 --> 01:43:12,690
yeah thank you for having me I am today

2225
01:43:16,130 --> 01:43:14,670
we're flying some still image equipment

2226
01:43:18,110 --> 01:43:16,140
and we're going to take an image of the

2227
01:43:19,730 --> 01:43:18,120
ground in different wavelengths and

2228
01:43:21,470 --> 01:43:19,740
we're also flying live-streaming

2229
01:43:23,750 --> 01:43:21,480
equipment so we can livestream the

2230
01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:23,760
Eclipse looking downwards and looking

2231
01:43:27,920 --> 01:43:26,010
around and at a hundred thousand feet

2232
01:43:28,370 --> 01:43:27,930
which is higher than any plane has ever

2233
01:43:29,750 --> 01:43:28,380
gone

2234
01:43:32,630 --> 01:43:29,760
we're also flying some biological

2235
01:43:33,770 --> 01:43:32,640
samples with NASA Ames eminence um our

2236
01:43:35,990 --> 01:43:33,780
tracker so we can have a successful

2237
01:43:37,340 --> 01:43:36,000
recovery okay and they just released

2238
01:43:39,320 --> 01:43:37,350
your balloon so let's talk about the

2239
01:43:40,720 --> 01:43:39,330
NASA science and the biological samples

2240
01:43:42,850 --> 01:43:40,730
explain more so

2241
01:43:44,080 --> 01:43:42,860
NASA Ames has contacted us and all of

2242
01:43:47,140 --> 01:43:44,090
the other teams that are gonna be doing

2243
01:43:50,110 --> 01:43:47,150
launches today across the whole path of

2244
01:43:51,610 --> 01:43:50,120
the Eclipse and we're gonna be all have

2245
01:43:53,710 --> 01:43:51,620
a little chip of biological samples on

2246
01:43:54,940 --> 01:43:53,720
there and that's are gonna go up in the

2247
01:43:56,950 --> 01:43:54,950
stratosphere which is a similar

2248
01:43:58,690 --> 01:43:56,960
atmosphere as we would see on the

2249
01:43:59,800 --> 01:43:58,700
Martian surface so we're doing some

2250
01:44:01,570 --> 01:43:59,810
Martian studies which is really

2251
01:44:03,250 --> 01:44:01,580
interesting and cool we are very excited

2252
01:44:04,840 --> 01:44:03,260
about that and so also how many balloon

2253
01:44:06,970 --> 01:44:04,850
releases are you planning on doing this

2254
01:44:08,950 --> 01:44:06,980
today or this weekend and so all across

2255
01:44:10,840 --> 01:44:08,960
the u.s. we have about 50 teams that are

2256
01:44:12,310 --> 01:44:10,850
launching and in the path of the Eclipse

2257
01:44:15,310 --> 01:44:12,320
so that we could have a full coverage of

2258
01:44:17,230 --> 01:44:15,320
the stream and on the site today we have

2259
01:44:19,480 --> 01:44:17,240
three launches from three different

2260
01:44:22,120 --> 01:44:19,490
universities and we're just really

2261
01:44:23,950 --> 01:44:22,130
excited to be here and and hopefully

2262
01:44:25,510 --> 01:44:23,960
it's all successful launches all right

2263
01:44:27,550 --> 01:44:25,520
so finally these balloons do go up and

2264
01:44:28,960 --> 01:44:27,560
they come back down and so what's some

2265
01:44:30,130 --> 01:44:28,970
advice if anyone finds one of these

2266
01:44:31,810 --> 01:44:30,140
payloads out and about across the

2267
01:44:34,090 --> 01:44:31,820
country what's a tip you would tell them

2268
01:44:36,100 --> 01:44:34,100
and if you find it and leave it there

2269
01:44:37,420 --> 01:44:36,110
maybe take a picture cuz it's kind of

2270
01:44:40,390 --> 01:44:37,430
cool to see something land in your

2271
01:44:41,950 --> 01:44:40,400
backyard from research and please don't

2272
01:44:44,230 --> 01:44:41,960
don't touch it we'll be there soon to

2273
01:44:45,940 --> 01:44:44,240
pick it up if you have to move it let us

2274
01:44:47,200 --> 01:44:45,950
know and we'll just be there to recover

2275
01:44:48,550 --> 01:44:47,210
it awesome thanks we appreciate your

2276
01:44:50,440 --> 01:44:48,560
time thank you appreciate it okay so

2277
01:44:52,300 --> 01:44:50,450
yesterday we had a chance to catch up

2278
01:44:54,070 --> 01:44:52,310
with some serious students albeit a

2279
01:44:56,230 --> 01:44:54,080
little younger but serious about doing

2280
01:44:57,820 --> 01:44:56,240
real world science nonetheless and here

2281
01:45:00,040 --> 01:44:57,830
to tell us more is my good friend and

2282
01:45:01,210 --> 01:45:00,050
colleague Mitzi Adams from NASA's

2283
01:45:03,100 --> 01:45:01,220
Marshall Space Flight Center in

2284
01:45:04,090 --> 01:45:03,110
Huntsville Alabama Mitzi thanks for

2285
01:45:05,920 --> 01:45:04,100
joining us we appreciate it

2286
01:45:07,990 --> 01:45:05,930
so tell us about the science that these

2287
01:45:09,370 --> 01:45:08,000
high school students are working on well

2288
01:45:11,110 --> 01:45:09,380
the students are actually working on

2289
01:45:14,020 --> 01:45:11,120
some atmospheric science experiments

2290
01:45:16,510 --> 01:45:14,030
they're doing animal study experiments

2291
01:45:19,270 --> 01:45:16,520
and they're helping us observe the Sun

2292
01:45:20,500 --> 01:45:19,280
in various wavelengths of light and

2293
01:45:21,670 --> 01:45:20,510
these students aren't just from the

2294
01:45:22,990 --> 01:45:21,680
Clarksville area I understand they're

2295
01:45:25,870 --> 01:45:23,000
all around the country if not perhaps

2296
01:45:27,940 --> 01:45:25,880
the globe the students are from the US

2297
01:45:29,950 --> 01:45:27,950
Space and Rocket Center and yes they are

2298
01:45:33,400 --> 01:45:29,960
from all around the globe and they're

2299
01:45:35,800 --> 01:45:33,410
actually from the inspire project as

2300
01:45:39,430 --> 01:45:35,810
well they're they're participating in

2301
01:45:41,890 --> 01:45:39,440
VLF radio noise experiments and those

2302
01:45:43,480 --> 01:45:41,900
folks are from washington DC alright

2303
01:45:45,520 --> 01:45:43,490
excellent so you mentioned space &

2304
01:45:46,840 --> 01:45:45,530
Rocket Center Space Camp that's the

2305
01:45:48,400 --> 01:45:46,850
official Visitor Center for NASA's

2306
01:45:49,690 --> 01:45:48,410
Marshall Space Flight Center feel free

2307
01:45:51,130 --> 01:45:49,700
if you're in northern Alabama to come

2308
01:45:53,050 --> 01:45:51,140
and see us they do a great job of

2309
01:45:54,430 --> 01:45:53,060
representing a past future and present

2310
01:45:57,160 --> 01:45:54,440
history of NASA so

2311
01:45:59,710 --> 01:45:57,170
any parting words well you know in the

2312
01:46:02,500 --> 01:45:59,720
hidden words of Frank Reynolds I'd like

2313
01:46:06,220 --> 01:46:02,510
for us to remember for the next American

2314
01:46:08,920 --> 01:46:06,230
Eclipse in 2024 let the shadow of the

2315
01:46:10,990 --> 01:46:08,930
moon fall on an earth at peace very

2316
01:46:14,140 --> 01:46:11,000
poetic poetically done we appreciate it

2317
01:46:17,140 --> 01:46:14,150
all right so up next is as promised our

2318
01:46:18,550 --> 01:46:17,150
animal lovers segment and so here on the

2319
01:46:20,320 --> 01:46:18,560
victor here on the agricultural farm

2320
01:46:22,180 --> 01:46:20,330
students are studying a really cool stem

2321
01:46:24,280 --> 01:46:22,190
field so it's conservation management

2322
01:46:26,200 --> 01:46:24,290
it's veterinary medicine animal biology

2323
01:46:29,080 --> 01:46:26,210
and so they're interested in animal

2324
01:46:30,970 --> 01:46:29,090
behavior and so joining us is dr. Donald

2325
01:46:32,890 --> 01:46:30,980
Sud break head of the AG department here

2326
01:46:35,230 --> 01:46:32,900
at Austin Peay State University and so

2327
01:46:37,630 --> 01:46:35,240
it's not cow tipping it's cow painting

2328
01:46:40,210 --> 01:46:37,640
correct yes we had to paint the cows

2329
01:46:41,170 --> 01:46:40,220
that are in this study to see what sort

2330
01:46:42,820 --> 01:46:41,180
of things that they would do so we could

2331
01:46:43,960 --> 01:46:42,830
record the individual animals so we can

2332
01:46:46,630 --> 01:46:43,970
see what behaviors that they were

2333
01:46:47,530 --> 01:46:46,640
exhibiting so if we saw the cows and as

2334
01:46:49,270 --> 01:46:47,540
the students were involved with that

2335
01:46:51,430 --> 01:46:49,280
that midsi just spoke about and we're

2336
01:46:54,850 --> 01:46:51,440
also talking about cricket behavior and

2337
01:46:56,020 --> 01:46:54,860
cricket observations yes yes well we're

2338
01:46:57,670 --> 01:46:56,030
also talking about

2339
01:47:00,130 --> 01:46:57,680
crickets I'm an entomologist by training

2340
01:47:01,720 --> 01:47:00,140
and crickets generally chirp at night so

2341
01:47:03,160 --> 01:47:01,730
we're gonna get a chance to see a series

2342
01:47:05,470 --> 01:47:03,170
of isolated males and see what they do

2343
01:47:06,940 --> 01:47:05,480
when when the Sun goes out okay

2344
01:47:08,320 --> 01:47:06,950
excellent you all are doing this kind of

2345
01:47:10,840 --> 01:47:08,330
observational research really appreciate

2346
01:47:12,670 --> 01:47:10,850
your time thanks a lot so and speaking

2347
01:47:13,840 --> 01:47:12,680
of time it's almost time for us everyone

2348
01:47:16,210 --> 01:47:13,850
here at Austin Peay State University

2349
01:47:17,890 --> 01:47:16,220
actually watched the solar eclipse so

2350
01:47:19,510 --> 01:47:17,900
let's go back live for continuing

2351
01:47:25,210 --> 01:47:19,520
coverage of NASA's eclipses across

2352
01:47:26,920 --> 01:47:25,220
America from Charleston ok so gati I

2353
01:47:31,990 --> 01:47:26,930
won't if the milk tastes better when you

2354
01:47:34,000 --> 01:47:32,000
paint the cows alright let's go to

2355
01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:34,010
social media we've been in the show here

2356
01:47:38,830 --> 01:47:37,010
and I know it's above so over the John

2357
01:47:39,760 --> 01:47:38,840
year break for social media update yeah

2358
01:47:41,890 --> 01:47:39,770
last time I looked

2359
01:47:44,110 --> 01:47:41,900
Dwain there were left my look there were

2360
01:47:47,440 --> 01:47:44,120
2 point 1 million people looking online

2361
01:47:49,390 --> 01:47:47,450
on our website on our and one point two

2362
01:47:51,820 --> 01:47:49,400
in our live stream so it so was a huge

2363
01:47:53,710 --> 01:47:51,830
conversation and solar eclipse 2017 is

2364
01:47:56,020 --> 01:47:53,720
still trending number one on Twitter so

2365
01:48:00,540 --> 01:47:56,030
it's been huge I can we we couldn't go

2366
01:48:03,729 --> 01:48:02,800
this right here is an amazing photo

2367
01:48:04,959 --> 01:48:03,739
sometimes they say have to be at the

2368
01:48:07,240 --> 01:48:04,969
right place at the right time this is

2369
01:48:10,899 --> 01:48:07,250
taken by one of our NASA photographers

2370
01:48:12,340 --> 01:48:10,909
bill Ingalls outed in Washington and he

2371
01:48:13,840 --> 01:48:12,350
captured it's hard to see here in this

2372
01:48:16,419 --> 01:48:13,850
pic but he captured the International

2373
01:48:18,390 --> 01:48:16,429
Space Station transiting the Sun during

2374
01:48:20,740 --> 01:48:18,400
the partial eclipse there in Washington

2375
01:48:22,030 --> 01:48:20,750
pretty amazing you kind of have to look

2376
01:48:23,439 --> 01:48:22,040
closely we'll also be putting these

2377
01:48:24,850 --> 01:48:23,449
images up online if you want to see them

2378
01:48:25,830 --> 01:48:24,860
but one of those little dots there is

2379
01:48:28,689 --> 01:48:25,840
the International Space Station

2380
01:48:30,669 --> 01:48:28,699
traveling at 17,500 miles per hour

2381
01:48:33,490 --> 01:48:30,679
here's another one from our photographer

2382
01:48:35,020 --> 01:48:33,500
in Wyoming same concept captured the

2383
01:48:36,609 --> 01:48:35,030
space station we knew exactly when the

2384
01:48:37,689 --> 01:48:36,619
space station was gonna be flying what

2385
01:48:39,550 --> 01:48:37,699
its orbit was and when it was gonna

2386
01:48:41,260 --> 01:48:39,560
cross the Sun and look here it's just an

2387
01:48:42,490 --> 01:48:41,270
amazing sight I'm really proud of our

2388
01:48:43,870 --> 01:48:42,500
photographers for getting these shots

2389
01:48:45,459 --> 01:48:43,880
and proactively trying to get something

2390
01:48:46,810 --> 01:48:45,469
that no one else probably has and

2391
01:48:49,209 --> 01:48:46,820
thinking through and getting this this

2392
01:48:50,379 --> 01:48:49,219
this great image so let's take a few

2393
01:48:52,990 --> 01:48:50,389
questions from social media I wanna

2394
01:48:54,609 --> 01:48:53,000
remind our viewers at home that you can

2395
01:48:56,830 --> 01:48:54,619
ask questions to us here on the set and

2396
01:48:58,540 --> 01:48:56,840
associated with the hashtag Eclipse 2017

2397
01:49:01,540 --> 01:48:58,550
so why don't we bring it back here to

2398
01:49:04,720 --> 01:49:01,550
the stage and first question is from

2399
01:49:07,030 --> 01:49:04,730
Twitter what if we wear sunglasses

2400
01:49:09,820 --> 01:49:07,040
instead of Eclipse glasses we actually

2401
01:49:10,959 --> 01:49:09,830
able to see the Eclipse the sunglasses

2402
01:49:13,419 --> 01:49:10,969
help is that give you any sort of

2403
01:49:15,820 --> 01:49:13,429
protection no definitely no no you

2404
01:49:17,740 --> 01:49:15,830
should not wear sunglasses normal

2405
01:49:20,109 --> 01:49:17,750
sunglasses always where the actual

2406
01:49:22,120 --> 01:49:20,119
sunglasses that I made for solar viewing

2407
01:49:24,129 --> 01:49:22,130
like the ones that I'm head have in here

2408
01:49:26,169 --> 01:49:24,139
right now in my hand and if you don't

2409
01:49:27,850 --> 01:49:26,179
have the sunglasses you never look

2410
01:49:29,830 --> 01:49:27,860
directly over the Sun you look like you

2411
01:49:31,750 --> 01:49:29,840
do an indirect projection of that

2412
01:49:35,020 --> 01:49:31,760
eclipse never look at the Sun without

2413
01:49:36,820 --> 01:49:35,030
the proper safety so another question

2414
01:49:38,830 --> 01:49:36,830
here comes from Debra from Facebook so

2415
01:49:40,990 --> 01:49:38,840
the Sun rises in the east and sets in

2416
01:49:42,669 --> 01:49:41,000
the west and the Earth rotates and

2417
01:49:44,490 --> 01:49:42,679
clockwise motion please explain how it

2418
01:49:48,100 --> 01:49:44,500
starts in the West and ends the east

2419
01:49:51,459 --> 01:49:48,110
well so the the earth is rotating from

2420
01:49:55,350 --> 01:49:51,469
west to east but actually the moon is

2421
01:49:57,850 --> 01:49:55,360
moving faster about 3,400 miles an hour

2422
01:50:00,250 --> 01:49:57,860
casting a shadow down the earth which is

2423
01:50:02,229 --> 01:50:00,260
rotating about 1700 miles an hour and

2424
01:50:04,359 --> 01:50:02,239
then actually means that the shadow is

2425
01:50:07,479 --> 01:50:04,369
moving from west to east across the

2426
01:50:09,850 --> 01:50:07,489
earth at about somewhere between 1,200

2427
01:50:11,529 --> 01:50:09,860
to 1,800 miles per hour depending on

2428
01:50:13,579 --> 01:50:11,539
where you are on the

2429
01:50:14,929 --> 01:50:13,589
okay great we have another one I think

2430
01:50:16,879 --> 01:50:14,939
we've talked another with Tina from

2431
01:50:18,619 --> 01:50:16,889
Facebook's asked if I place a lens from

2432
01:50:20,989 --> 01:50:18,629
the clips viewing glasses over a few

2433
01:50:22,579 --> 01:50:20,999
finder on my iPad could I successfully

2434
01:50:25,159 --> 01:50:22,589
video the clips or would it fry my

2435
01:50:26,929 --> 01:50:25,169
camera yeah you can actually look with

2436
01:50:28,879 --> 01:50:26,939
the iPad or your phone to the clips the

2437
01:50:31,129 --> 01:50:28,889
only thing is you have to be very

2438
01:50:33,020 --> 01:50:31,139
careful not to look at it with your own

2439
01:50:35,529 --> 01:50:33,030
eyes without their actual safety glasses

2440
01:50:39,259 --> 01:50:35,539
never look at it through any lens

2441
01:50:40,759 --> 01:50:39,269
okay this is Niki from Facebook hey NASA

2442
01:50:42,859 --> 01:50:40,769
NASA I could International Space Station

2443
01:50:44,629 --> 01:50:42,869
see the shadow of the moon crossing

2444
01:50:45,619 --> 01:50:44,639
America from space can they do they have

2445
01:50:47,599 --> 01:50:45,629
that view when they're looking from

2446
01:50:50,209 --> 01:50:47,609
space they do and that's what we're

2447
01:50:52,459 --> 01:50:50,219
hoping to see from them yes excellent so

2448
01:50:54,560 --> 01:50:52,469
John we're gonna come back to you so I

2449
01:50:56,209 --> 01:50:54,570
think we're gonna go back to Sean I'm

2450
01:50:57,919 --> 01:50:56,219
meteorologist let's learn more about how

2451
01:51:00,500 --> 01:50:57,929
NASA is studying the earth and son

2452
01:51:02,629 --> 01:51:00,510
relationship doing this Eclipse Sean can

2453
01:51:04,279 --> 01:51:02,639
you tell us more about that right thanks

2454
01:51:06,290 --> 01:51:04,289
Dwayne so during the eclipse the moon

2455
01:51:08,229 --> 01:51:06,300
acts like a giant cloud as it passes

2456
01:51:10,489 --> 01:51:08,239
over areas in the path of totality

2457
01:51:10,969 --> 01:51:10,499
casting a large shadow on Earth's

2458
01:51:12,589 --> 01:51:10,979
surface

2459
01:51:14,899 --> 01:51:12,599
now the footage your scene right now

2460
01:51:17,989 --> 01:51:14,909
shows a solar eclipse that occurred in

2461
01:51:20,509 --> 01:51:17,999
March of 2016 over Indonesia that

2462
01:51:22,879 --> 01:51:20,519
experience helped us determine how best

2463
01:51:24,770 --> 01:51:22,889
to study today's eclipse these images

2464
01:51:26,810 --> 01:51:24,780
were taken by NASA's epic instrument

2465
01:51:29,599 --> 01:51:26,820
aboard NOAA's deep space climate

2466
01:51:31,009 --> 01:51:29,609
Observatory or discover it's just one of

2467
01:51:33,259 --> 01:51:31,019
the instruments we'll be using today to

2468
01:51:36,259 --> 01:51:33,269
study the eclipses as we monitor changes

2469
01:51:37,609 --> 01:51:36,269
in Earth's energy balance scientists

2470
01:51:39,560 --> 01:51:37,619
have made extensive atmospheric

2471
01:51:41,540 --> 01:51:39,570
measurements during eclipses before but

2472
01:51:43,609 --> 01:51:41,550
this is the first opportunity to collect

2473
01:51:46,189 --> 01:51:43,619
coordinated data from both the ground

2474
01:51:48,319 --> 01:51:46,199
and from a spacecraft that observes the

2475
01:51:52,520 --> 01:51:48,329
entire sunlit earth during an eclipse

2476
01:51:55,099 --> 01:51:52,530
Dwane back to you thank you John okay so

2477
01:51:56,899 --> 01:51:55,109
now we have a special guest with us

2478
01:51:59,719 --> 01:51:56,909
today the associate administrator for

2479
01:52:03,709 --> 01:51:59,729
NASA's office of communication generally

2480
01:52:05,869 --> 01:52:03,719
Wang generate welcome wait thank you so

2481
01:52:07,929 --> 01:52:05,879
happy to be here oh it's an exciting day

2482
01:52:10,609 --> 01:52:07,939
I'm glad you joined the team here and

2483
01:52:13,819 --> 01:52:10,619
next location you are pretty familiar

2484
01:52:15,560 --> 01:52:13,829
with I'm sure I'm very blessed that I do

2485
01:52:17,419 --> 01:52:15,570
know something about the great state of

2486
01:52:19,669 --> 01:52:17,429
Nebraska I've actually lived there for

2487
01:52:21,529 --> 01:52:19,679
the last decade and I have friends and

2488
01:52:24,020 --> 01:52:21,539
family who are watching there from the

2489
01:52:26,540 --> 01:52:24,030
path of totality I have to tell you

2490
01:52:29,000 --> 01:52:26,550
you this is by far the biggest thing

2491
01:52:31,490 --> 01:52:29,010
that's happened in Nebraska as of recent

2492
01:52:33,860 --> 01:52:31,500
it's absolutely fabulous I have had

2493
01:52:36,680 --> 01:52:33,870
friends from high school and college

2494
01:52:38,420 --> 01:52:36,690
calling me up nice Facebook messaging me

2495
01:52:40,610 --> 01:52:38,430
asking where they can get their glasses

2496
01:52:42,050 --> 01:52:40,620
where they should be viewing from so

2497
01:52:43,910 --> 01:52:42,060
it's just a really exciting day for

2498
01:52:46,520 --> 01:52:43,920
everyone who's watching along the path

2499
01:52:49,280 --> 01:52:46,530
of totality it's also a really exciting

2500
01:52:51,140 --> 01:52:49,290
day for NASA and in fact this gives us

2501
01:52:53,750 --> 01:52:51,150
an opportunity to look for it as well

2502
01:52:55,700 --> 01:52:53,760
and we have a future study that we are

2503
01:52:58,160 --> 01:52:55,710
going to be doing for the set to study

2504
01:53:01,130 --> 01:52:58,170
the Sun NASA is going to launch a new

2505
01:53:03,500 --> 01:53:01,140
spacecraft next year the Parker Solar

2506
01:53:05,600 --> 01:53:03,510
Probe and it will fly directly into the

2507
01:53:08,270 --> 01:53:05,610
solar atmosphere the mission will

2508
01:53:10,520 --> 01:53:08,280
provide first-of-its-kind data and for

2509
01:53:13,280 --> 01:53:10,530
more information on this future mission

2510
01:53:15,500 --> 01:53:13,290
let's go to Beatrice Nebraska where

2511
01:53:18,260 --> 01:53:15,510
Vince Whitfield from NASA's Langley

2512
01:53:20,420 --> 01:53:18,270
Research Center is standing by he's at

2513
01:53:22,910 --> 01:53:20,430
Homestead National Monument where the

2514
01:53:27,200 --> 01:53:22,920
National Park Service has coordinated an

2515
01:53:29,840 --> 01:53:27,210
Eclipse viewing Vince and just just just

2516
01:53:32,090 --> 01:53:29,850
in I think we're having this is going to

2517
01:53:34,280 --> 01:53:32,100
come up shortly Jenner a so we're gonna

2518
01:53:36,890 --> 01:53:34,290
go back with an image but we will be

2519
01:54:01,580 --> 01:53:36,900
doing Nebraska as soon as we can so a

2520
01:54:08,370 --> 01:54:06,330
okay folks Johnny and Alex this is a

2521
01:54:11,370 --> 01:54:08,380
different view here what are we seeing

2522
01:54:13,649 --> 01:54:11,380
Alex well so we're looking at a

2523
01:54:16,169 --> 01:54:13,659
different wavelength of visible light

2524
01:54:19,109 --> 01:54:16,179
that's called calcium k so this is light

2525
01:54:22,260 --> 01:54:19,119
that's produced by excited calcium and

2526
01:54:24,299 --> 01:54:22,270
this is showing us the Sun as the moon

2527
01:54:27,209 --> 01:54:24,309
is moving over it and in fact if you

2528
01:54:30,000 --> 01:54:27,219
look over to the left on the edge of the

2529
01:54:32,609 --> 01:54:30,010
Sun you actually see sunspots on spot

2530
01:54:35,609 --> 01:54:32,619
and these are regions that hylia

2531
01:54:38,790 --> 01:54:35,619
physicists like myself and jari are most

2532
01:54:41,700 --> 01:54:38,800
interested in because that's where solar

2533
01:54:43,890 --> 01:54:41,710
explosions originate from in fact the

2534
01:54:46,680 --> 01:54:43,900
magnetic fields that come up into the

2535
01:54:49,410 --> 01:54:46,690
corona that we see during the total

2536
01:54:50,160 --> 01:54:49,420
solar eclipse originate from those

2537
01:54:52,709 --> 01:54:50,170
sunspots

2538
01:54:54,870 --> 01:54:52,719
actually these sunspot had a solar flare

2539
01:54:56,760 --> 01:54:54,880
yesterday right and I believe this is

2540
01:54:59,700 --> 01:54:56,770
coming from from Carbondale so that's

2541
01:55:02,339 --> 01:54:59,710
now it's it's why is it purple is that

2542
01:55:04,950 --> 01:55:02,349
what's that actually that's actually the

2543
01:55:07,020 --> 01:55:04,960
the light and the color of the light in

2544
01:55:09,500 --> 01:55:07,030
the filter the color is a bluish light

2545
01:55:12,000 --> 01:55:09,510
and so it comes out as a purple color

2546
01:55:13,859 --> 01:55:12,010
but it's in it is a type of visible

2547
01:55:17,069 --> 01:55:13,869
light it's when we look at quite often

2548
01:55:19,229 --> 01:55:17,079
from both space and the ground and look

2549
01:55:21,450 --> 01:55:19,239
in the Sun now I see what I see some

2550
01:55:22,950 --> 01:55:21,460
black things look like a little river

2551
01:55:24,870 --> 01:55:22,960
you see it over there and in the corner

2552
01:55:27,270 --> 01:55:24,880
on the left yeah that's the sunspot ah

2553
01:55:29,399 --> 01:55:27,280
what's the sunspot just for audience

2554
01:55:30,839 --> 01:55:29,409
here those are the regions where most of

2555
01:55:32,339 --> 01:55:30,849
the space weather actually originates

2556
01:55:34,500 --> 01:55:32,349
there's solar flares the coronal mass

2557
01:55:38,189 --> 01:55:34,510
ejections our regions of the Sun that

2558
01:55:39,870 --> 01:55:38,199
have very a complicated magnetic fields

2559
01:55:42,209 --> 01:55:39,880
and this are where the most of the

2560
01:55:44,520 --> 01:55:42,219
magnetic energy is actually released

2561
01:55:47,189 --> 01:55:44,530
right so those are regions of super

2562
01:55:49,500 --> 01:55:47,199
intense magnetic field thousand times

2563
01:55:53,160 --> 01:55:49,510
stronger than the Earth's magnetic field

2564
01:55:54,870 --> 01:55:53,170
and those have lots of energy and they

2565
01:55:56,430 --> 01:55:54,880
drive space weather okay I think that's

2566
01:55:57,839 --> 01:55:56,440
why we didn't get the Nebraska free

2567
01:56:00,660 --> 01:55:57,849
right now those things cause that I

2568
01:56:02,339 --> 01:56:00,670
think right hopefully we get Nebraska

2569
01:56:05,669 --> 01:56:02,349
okay so we're going back over to you

2570
01:56:07,529 --> 01:56:05,679
talking about moon shattering wait we've

2571
01:56:09,660 --> 01:56:07,539
got some really incredible imagery for

2572
01:56:11,580 --> 01:56:09,670
you II this again from the goes 16

2573
01:56:14,490 --> 01:56:11,590
weather satellite just launched

2574
01:56:16,530 --> 01:56:14,500
year by NASA for our friends at NOAA and

2575
01:56:18,660 --> 01:56:16,540
what you're seeing in the western

2576
01:56:21,540 --> 01:56:18,670
portion of this image is actually the

2577
01:56:23,580 --> 01:56:21,550
moon's shadow being cast over parts of

2578
01:56:25,140 --> 01:56:23,590
the path of totality and of course you

2579
01:56:26,070 --> 01:56:25,150
see the cloud cover across the US as

2580
01:56:27,900 --> 01:56:26,080
well know that I was telling you earlier

2581
01:56:30,060 --> 01:56:27,910
we it's actually looking pretty good for

2582
01:56:32,580 --> 01:56:30,070
most of the western parts of the u.s.

2583
01:56:34,410 --> 01:56:32,590
that are in the path of totality not so

2584
01:56:36,480 --> 01:56:34,420
good for maybe parts of the central US

2585
01:56:38,820 --> 01:56:36,490
where we've got some thunderstorm

2586
01:56:41,040 --> 01:56:38,830
activity developing and expected to

2587
01:56:43,410 --> 01:56:41,050
develop later today this afternoon from

2588
01:56:46,170 --> 01:56:43,420
places like Nebraska parts of Nebraska

2589
01:56:48,180 --> 01:56:46,180
and Missouri and and northern Illinois

2590
01:56:50,940 --> 01:56:48,190
so maybe north of Carbondale and then

2591
01:56:52,620 --> 01:56:50,950
gets better again as you see in terms of

2592
01:56:54,840 --> 01:56:52,630
cloud cover as we move further east

2593
01:56:56,310 --> 01:56:54,850
toward Charleston here but here in

2594
01:56:58,200 --> 01:56:56,320
Charleston we still have some breaks in

2595
01:56:59,910 --> 01:56:58,210
the cloud where the Sun is it's still

2596
01:57:02,010 --> 01:56:59,920
obscured but we are able to actually see

2597
01:57:03,540 --> 01:57:02,020
some of the partial eclipse here in

2598
01:57:05,430 --> 01:57:03,550
Charleston through some of the breaks in

2599
01:57:08,160 --> 01:57:05,440
cloud but again really wanted to show

2600
01:57:11,670 --> 01:57:08,170
you guys that imagery from goes 16

2601
01:57:14,250 --> 01:57:11,680
satellite from NOAA showing you the moon

2602
01:57:15,480 --> 01:57:14,260
to shadow actually being cast over parts

2603
01:57:16,860 --> 01:57:15,490
of the western United States right now

2604
01:57:19,410 --> 01:57:16,870
with that Duane I'm gonna hand it back

2605
01:57:21,240 --> 01:57:19,420
over to you thanks Sean now as a

2606
01:57:23,280 --> 01:57:21,250
reminder our broadcast is tracking the

2607
01:57:25,110 --> 01:57:23,290
total solar eclipse as it crosses the

2608
01:57:28,680 --> 01:57:25,120
United States it's moving along a path

2609
01:57:31,440 --> 01:57:28,690
of totality that's a 70 mile wide pass

2610
01:57:33,030 --> 01:57:31,450
sweeping across the entire nation over

2611
01:57:34,770 --> 01:57:33,040
12 million people live inside the

2612
01:57:36,960 --> 01:57:34,780
panther totality plus it's estimated

2613
01:57:38,970 --> 01:57:36,970
that close to 7 million people have

2614
01:57:41,520 --> 01:57:38,980
traveled to cities within the path of

2615
01:57:43,290 --> 01:57:41,530
totality I know that today is truly a

2616
01:57:45,600 --> 01:57:43,300
day of celebration as people gather in

2617
01:57:48,600 --> 01:57:45,610
cities and festivals to view today

2618
01:57:51,240 --> 01:57:48,610
celestial event so let's let's get into

2619
01:57:53,160 --> 01:57:51,250
the cultural impact here guys Alex

2620
01:57:55,740 --> 01:57:53,170
what's your take on the cultural impact

2621
01:57:59,720 --> 01:57:55,750
of these eclipses well you know this is

2622
01:58:03,150 --> 01:57:59,730
really such a fantastic opportunity to

2623
01:58:05,700 --> 01:58:03,160
connect the nation and in fact the world

2624
01:58:08,700 --> 01:58:05,710
with nature's one of nature's most

2625
01:58:11,250 --> 01:58:08,710
amazing celestial events and this is

2626
01:58:12,870 --> 01:58:11,260
something that we is working in NASA are

2627
01:58:14,880 --> 01:58:12,880
really excited to be able to share and

2628
01:58:16,770 --> 01:58:14,890
in fact we even work with some of our

2629
01:58:19,659 --> 01:58:16,780
colleagues in other parts like the US

2630
01:58:22,629 --> 01:58:19,669
Postal Service yes the u.s. Bolton solar

2631
01:58:25,209 --> 01:58:22,639
so we create a special stamp for this

2632
01:58:27,759 --> 01:58:25,219
event right so what I want to do let's

2633
01:58:30,159 --> 01:58:27,769
talk about the stamp sure but generate

2634
01:58:32,439 --> 01:58:30,169
tossed in Nebraska we the sunspots are

2635
01:58:37,719 --> 01:58:32,449
gone so let's go to Nebraska

2636
01:58:39,219 --> 01:58:37,729
Vince Whitfield are you there hi we're

2637
01:58:41,439 --> 01:58:39,229
at the homestead National Monument of

2638
01:58:43,089 --> 01:58:41,449
America this is a great location to

2639
01:58:45,969 --> 01:58:43,099
watch the Eclipse and we've staked out a

2640
01:58:47,589 --> 01:58:45,979
good spot here on the Prairie even in

2641
01:58:49,659 --> 01:58:47,599
the weather isn't cooperating this is

2642
01:58:52,029 --> 01:58:49,669
still an excellent event we're also very

2643
01:58:53,529 --> 01:58:52,039
prepared please make sure to use your

2644
01:58:55,659 --> 01:58:53,539
protective glasses when viewing the

2645
01:58:57,489 --> 01:58:55,669
Eclipse wherever you are you can cause

2646
01:58:59,279 --> 01:58:57,499
serious damage to your eyes if you don't

2647
01:59:01,600 --> 01:58:59,289
take precautions while watching and

2648
01:59:04,509 --> 01:59:01,610
there are a lot of people watching as

2649
01:59:07,449 --> 01:59:04,519
you can tell the festivities just like

2650
01:59:09,819 --> 01:59:07,459
the Eclipse are in full swing I'm joined

2651
01:59:11,830 --> 01:59:09,829
by chief park ranger Susan Cook hey

2652
01:59:13,689 --> 01:59:11,840
Vince how are you great Susan thanks for

2653
01:59:15,549 --> 01:59:13,699
joining me today please tell us about

2654
01:59:17,439 --> 01:59:15,559
this amazing place and what's going on

2655
01:59:19,179 --> 01:59:17,449
behind us we're at homestead national

2656
01:59:20,949 --> 01:59:19,189
mine of America we're a national park

2657
01:59:23,589 --> 01:59:20,959
site dedicated to telling the story of

2658
01:59:25,270 --> 01:59:23,599
homesteading 30 States four million

2659
01:59:27,699 --> 01:59:25,280
people ten percent of the United States

2660
01:59:29,169 --> 01:59:27,709
was homesteaded the head of a household

2661
01:59:31,540 --> 01:59:29,179
anybody could own land as long as you

2662
01:59:34,270 --> 01:59:31,550
could be a US citizen you got a 160

2663
01:59:36,459 --> 01:59:34,280
acres it's how we settled the West we

2664
01:59:38,310 --> 01:59:36,469
built our democracy we built our economy

2665
01:59:40,659 --> 01:59:38,320
settling the West through this law

2666
01:59:43,060 --> 01:59:40,669
that's just so interesting now I

2667
01:59:45,069 --> 01:59:43,070
understand the Mayan calendar followed

2668
01:59:47,949 --> 01:59:45,079
the solar eclipse cannon Nkosi is is

2669
01:59:49,689 --> 01:59:47,959
that correct it did the mind ancient

2670
01:59:51,339 --> 01:59:49,699
mind you several different calendars to

2671
01:59:53,620 --> 01:59:51,349
organize their secular and spiritual

2672
01:59:55,479 --> 01:59:53,630
lives many of these calendars had strong

2673
01:59:57,909 --> 01:59:55,489
roots in the motions of celestial

2674
02:00:01,270 --> 01:59:57,919
objects especially the Sun and the moon

2675
02:00:04,959 --> 02:00:01,280
and the hub calendar is a solar calendar

2676
02:00:07,919 --> 02:00:04,969
of 365 days subdivided into 18 months of

2677
02:00:11,500 --> 02:00:07,929
20 days plus one month of five days

2678
02:00:14,319 --> 02:00:11,510
another calendar is as Okun made of 260

2679
02:00:17,290 --> 02:00:14,329
days subdivided into 13 months of 20

2680
02:00:19,479 --> 02:00:17,300
days this calendar also has a resonance

2681
02:00:22,149 --> 02:00:19,489
with eclipses which occur about every

2682
02:00:24,939 --> 02:00:22,159
hundred and seventy-three days every

2683
02:00:26,469 --> 02:00:24,949
three sequences of eclipses aligns every

2684
02:00:28,439 --> 02:00:26,479
two cycles of the Salkin

2685
02:00:31,389 --> 02:00:28,449
who could keep track of that frankly

2686
02:00:33,290 --> 02:00:31,399
it's just amazing now as a chief park

2687
02:00:35,240 --> 02:00:33,300
ranger have to congratulate you this is

2688
02:00:36,830 --> 02:00:35,250
a fantastic venue tell us about some of

2689
02:00:38,209 --> 02:00:36,840
the activities you have planned well

2690
02:00:39,709 --> 02:00:38,219
actually right now you can feel like

2691
02:00:41,720 --> 02:00:39,719
getting darker but we have stage

2692
02:00:43,490 --> 02:00:41,730
performances going on we have many NASA

2693
02:00:47,510 --> 02:00:43,500
scientists you can learn about planetary

2694
02:00:50,180 --> 02:00:47,520
defense how we defend our world you have

2695
02:00:52,939 --> 02:00:50,190
NASA scientists doing other things we

2696
02:00:56,750 --> 02:00:52,949
have Native Americans we have a Mayan

2697
02:01:00,859 --> 02:00:56,760
calendar sky program we have folk music

2698
02:01:03,500 --> 02:01:00,869
we have all sorts going on to think

2699
02:01:05,510 --> 02:01:03,510
balloon launches so there's things all

2700
02:01:07,850 --> 02:01:05,520
around us it's really exciting and a lot

2701
02:01:09,470 --> 02:01:07,860
of fun gotta say the amount gun in here

2702
02:01:11,089 --> 02:01:09,480
Susan is incredible thank you so much

2703
02:01:13,850 --> 02:01:11,099
thank you very much thanks for being

2704
02:01:15,620 --> 02:01:13,860
here absolutely and we're lucky enough

2705
02:01:18,760 --> 02:01:15,630
to be joined by a real NASA scientist

2706
02:01:21,770 --> 02:01:18,770
let me introduce you to dr. Nikki Fox

2707
02:01:24,649 --> 02:01:21,780
great Nikki thanks for joining us nikki

2708
02:01:26,959 --> 02:01:24,659
is a space weather expert and a mission

2709
02:01:29,030 --> 02:01:26,969
project scientist on NASA's Parker Solar

2710
02:01:31,010 --> 02:01:29,040
Probe program thanks so much for joining

2711
02:01:32,689 --> 02:01:31,020
us Nikki today is a great day for you

2712
02:01:34,700 --> 02:01:32,699
tell us why well today I'm really

2713
02:01:36,530 --> 02:01:34,710
excited this is my first ever solar

2714
02:01:39,439 --> 02:01:36,540
eclipse and it's the only chance that we

2715
02:01:41,240 --> 02:01:39,449
can see the corona with our naked eye

2716
02:01:43,609 --> 02:01:41,250
and I'm particularly excited because I'm

2717
02:01:45,979 --> 02:01:43,619
working on NASA's praça Solar Probe

2718
02:01:48,500 --> 02:01:45,989
mission and we are gonna fly into the

2719
02:01:50,060 --> 02:01:48,510
corona so if the clouds clouds part here

2720
02:01:52,520 --> 02:01:50,070
you'll be able to see where our mission

2721
02:01:54,350 --> 02:01:52,530
is flying that's just incredible now how

2722
02:01:56,270 --> 02:01:54,360
close will you get to the Sun we will

2723
02:01:57,830 --> 02:01:56,280
get to within four million miles and I

2724
02:02:00,439 --> 02:01:57,840
know that doesn't sound terribly close

2725
02:02:02,990 --> 02:02:00,449
but if I put the Earth and the Sun apart

2726
02:02:05,569 --> 02:02:03,000
on a on a football field then we would

2727
02:02:06,140 --> 02:02:05,579
be at the 4-yard line that's just

2728
02:02:08,689 --> 02:02:06,150
amazing

2729
02:02:10,220 --> 02:02:08,699
now for usually watching at home that's

2730
02:02:12,649 --> 02:02:10,230
kind of like traveling from Washington

2731
02:02:14,990 --> 02:02:12,659
DC to Philadelphia in about one second

2732
02:02:16,939 --> 02:02:15,000
just incredible speeds now how can you

2733
02:02:19,819 --> 02:02:16,949
be so close to the Sun and not burn up

2734
02:02:22,160 --> 02:02:19,829
so we have a wonderful heat shield but

2735
02:02:23,750 --> 02:02:22,170
we also the technology it's been 60

2736
02:02:25,520 --> 02:02:23,760
years since this mission was first

2737
02:02:27,379 --> 02:02:25,530
thought of and it's only now that

2738
02:02:29,930 --> 02:02:27,389
technology has caught up with our dreams

2739
02:02:30,950 --> 02:02:29,940
that's just amazing now it looks like

2740
02:02:33,200 --> 02:02:30,960
we're coming up to the moment of

2741
02:02:34,160 --> 02:02:33,210
totality here on the Prairie what are

2742
02:02:36,500 --> 02:02:34,170
some of the things we should be looking

2743
02:02:37,490 --> 02:02:36,510
for so if it clears you should see a

2744
02:02:39,640 --> 02:02:37,500
beautiful corona

2745
02:02:42,160 --> 02:02:39,650
and that it looks like a pearly

2746
02:02:43,479 --> 02:02:42,170
Haizi crown around the Sun and in fact

2747
02:02:46,450 --> 02:02:43,489
it's called a corona because that's

2748
02:02:48,160 --> 02:02:46,460
Latin for crown and then as it's going

2749
02:02:50,410 --> 02:02:48,170
beautifully dark here it's becoming

2750
02:02:52,720 --> 02:02:50,420
Twilight you hear everyone going crazy

2751
02:02:55,120 --> 02:02:52,730
here you should be able to start seeing

2752
02:02:57,370 --> 02:02:55,130
stars and we can actually see four

2753
02:03:00,580 --> 02:02:57,380
planets this time you should see Jupiter

2754
02:03:02,410 --> 02:03:00,590
Mercury Mars and Venus all in this night

2755
02:03:04,720 --> 02:03:02,420
sky during the day so it's just an

2756
02:03:06,790 --> 02:03:04,730
amazing amazing experience and if you

2757
02:03:08,770 --> 02:03:06,800
can't see the corona I do have a map of

2758
02:03:10,899 --> 02:03:08,780
it here this is a 3d print that was done

2759
02:03:12,640 --> 02:03:10,909
for me and it looks exactly it's a

2760
02:03:14,470 --> 02:03:12,650
predict of what the corona looks like

2761
02:03:17,110 --> 02:03:14,480
today so if it's cloudy

2762
02:03:19,240 --> 02:03:17,120
here's your Corona now it looks like the

2763
02:03:20,680 --> 02:03:19,250
moment of totality is upon us let's just

2764
02:03:22,090 --> 02:03:20,690
take the there let the guys at home have

2765
02:03:24,430 --> 02:03:22,100
a few moments to take in the sights and

2766
02:03:35,229 --> 02:03:24,440
sounds of the crowd as totality happens

2767
02:03:37,540 --> 02:03:35,239
on the Prairie I don't need my glasses

2768
02:03:40,240 --> 02:03:37,550
now bents because we are in totality

2769
02:03:42,970 --> 02:03:40,250
this is the only time that it's safe to

2770
02:03:46,090 --> 02:03:42,980
look but right now you can see that hazy

2771
02:03:47,979 --> 02:03:46,100
ring that is the chromosphere it is

2772
02:03:50,320 --> 02:03:47,989
looking a little bit sort of reddish and

2773
02:03:52,390 --> 02:03:50,330
you just see this all that those red

2774
02:03:54,729 --> 02:03:52,400
wisps are little prominences that are

2775
02:03:57,729 --> 02:03:54,739
coming away from the Sun unfortunately

2776
02:03:59,950 --> 02:03:57,739
it's we can't quite see the stars yet

2777
02:04:01,689 --> 02:03:59,960
because of the clouds but my goodness

2778
02:04:04,169 --> 02:04:01,699
you can see the corona and that is an

2779
02:04:06,189 --> 02:04:04,179
absolutely incredible incredible sight

2780
02:04:07,750 --> 02:04:06,199
this is just magnificent

2781
02:04:09,100 --> 02:04:07,760
it really is everything's kind of well

2782
02:04:10,930 --> 02:04:09,110
other than the people hooting and

2783
02:04:13,060 --> 02:04:10,940
hollering here everything else has gone

2784
02:04:15,910 --> 02:04:13,070
quiet the animals think it's nighttime

2785
02:04:19,149 --> 02:04:15,920
yeah this is amazing sort of Twilight

2786
02:04:21,850 --> 02:04:19,159
view all around us and just look at that

2787
02:04:24,790 --> 02:04:21,860
Corona back is incredible absolutely

2788
02:04:27,370 --> 02:04:24,800
incredible yeah that's amazing yep and

2789
02:04:29,350 --> 02:04:27,380
the moon is going to continue we've got

2790
02:04:30,510 --> 02:04:29,360
about two minutes 35 seconds of this

2791
02:04:33,210 --> 02:04:30,520
amazing view

2792
02:04:36,030 --> 02:04:33,220
and then here we come here comes the

2793
02:04:39,330 --> 02:04:36,040
diamond ring so it is glasses on again

2794
02:04:42,540 --> 02:04:39,340
time glasses on and here it comes

2795
02:04:45,390 --> 02:04:42,550
there's the diamond room that is the

2796
02:04:48,060 --> 02:04:45,400
most spectacular sight that's amazing

2797
02:04:50,100 --> 02:04:48,070
just incredible and of course the

2798
02:04:53,430 --> 02:04:50,110
diamond ring you see because the moon is

2799
02:04:54,810 --> 02:04:53,440
not a totally smooth sphere and so

2800
02:04:56,730 --> 02:04:54,820
you're seeing little spots of light

2801
02:04:58,950 --> 02:04:56,740
peeping out between the craters on the

2802
02:05:01,800 --> 02:04:58,960
moon and my goodness I'm sorry I'm so

2803
02:05:03,480 --> 02:05:01,810
excited it's incredible yeah it's hard

2804
02:05:05,070 --> 02:05:03,490
to convey the excitement of the energy

2805
02:05:07,140 --> 02:05:05,080
there are 10,000 people on the Prairie

2806
02:05:09,120 --> 02:05:07,150
here the homestead National Monument

2807
02:05:11,250 --> 02:05:09,130
America and the energy is just amazing

2808
02:05:12,510 --> 02:05:11,260
and they've been here a lot of them have

2809
02:05:14,400 --> 02:05:12,520
been here since 6 o'clock this morning

2810
02:05:17,910 --> 02:05:14,410
and the atmosphere has been incredible

2811
02:05:24,250 --> 02:05:17,920
everybody is happy and it has just been

2812
02:05:27,880 --> 02:05:26,200
okay Nikki let's let's bring you over to

2813
02:05:30,040 --> 02:05:27,890
this side it looks like the moment of

2814
02:05:31,390 --> 02:05:30,050
totality has passed us here now what

2815
02:05:33,310 --> 02:05:31,400
should we watching for in the moments

2816
02:05:34,720 --> 02:05:33,320
after totality moments after totality

2817
02:05:36,490 --> 02:05:34,730
you will start to see again the Bailey

2818
02:05:39,400 --> 02:05:36,500
speed so we did see that diamond ring

2819
02:05:41,410 --> 02:05:39,410
and I got super excited but as as the

2820
02:05:43,210 --> 02:05:41,420
the moon continues now to pass away

2821
02:05:45,220 --> 02:05:43,220
you'll start to see the solar surface

2822
02:05:48,040 --> 02:05:45,230
come back it's coming it's becoming

2823
02:05:50,560 --> 02:05:48,050
light again if we had any roosters here

2824
02:05:52,420 --> 02:05:50,570
they would actually be crowing so it's

2825
02:05:54,580 --> 02:05:52,430
just been it's amazing and you'll start

2826
02:05:55,720 --> 02:05:54,590
to see the Sun coming back and I don't

2827
02:05:56,979 --> 02:05:55,730
know I always think how what it would

2828
02:05:58,479 --> 02:05:56,989
have been like if you didn't know the

2829
02:06:00,040 --> 02:05:58,489
Sun was gonna come back you just thought

2830
02:06:02,440 --> 02:06:00,050
it was disappearing but here comes the

2831
02:06:04,990 --> 02:06:02,450
Sun again so it's a wonderful wonderful

2832
02:06:07,240 --> 02:06:05,000
day here on the Prairie that's wonderful

2833
02:06:08,340 --> 02:06:07,250
Nikki one amazing experience thanks so

2834
02:06:10,510 --> 02:06:08,350
much for talking us through that

2835
02:06:13,090 --> 02:06:10,520
wouldn't be anywhere else Vince thank

2836
02:06:15,370 --> 02:06:13,100

2837
02:06:17,050 --> 02:06:15,380
experience everybody that is amazing

2838
02:06:19,090 --> 02:06:17,060
now it looks like things have started to

2839
02:06:20,830 --> 02:06:19,100
calm down here on the Prairie but that

2840
02:06:22,470 --> 02:06:20,840
doesn't mean the show is over our

2841
02:06:25,479 --> 02:06:22,480
coverage that the path of totality

2842
02:06:27,280 --> 02:06:25,489
continues across the entire path so

2843
02:06:32,110 --> 02:06:27,290
let's go ahead and send it back to NASA

2844
02:06:34,600 --> 02:06:32,120
Eclipse central thank thank you Vince it

2845
02:06:36,010 --> 02:06:34,610
was well worth the wait my friend we

2846
02:06:36,850 --> 02:06:36,020
were a little delayed there but my

2847
02:06:39,670 --> 02:06:36,860
goodness

2848
02:06:41,260 --> 02:06:39,680
Johnny did you see that I mean that was

2849
02:06:43,630 --> 02:06:41,270
amazing do you see that diamond ring

2850
02:06:45,580 --> 02:06:43,640
that was you know it was even more

2851
02:06:47,350 --> 02:06:45,590
prominent there it was very prominent

2852
02:06:49,270 --> 02:06:47,360
you could see like the ray of light like

2853
02:06:52,060 --> 02:06:49,280
very very nice and the whole diamond

2854
02:06:54,430 --> 02:06:52,070
around the whole surface it was amazing

2855
02:06:56,170 --> 02:06:54,440
and Alex it got really dark I mean

2856
02:06:57,970 --> 02:06:56,180
really did that's actually enjoyed

2857
02:07:00,100 --> 02:06:57,980
seeing them out on that prairie and

2858
02:07:03,040 --> 02:07:00,110
seeing it looked like she was in some

2859
02:07:04,570 --> 02:07:03,050
sort of weird strange light and she was

2860
02:07:05,770 --> 02:07:04,580
lit up and everything behind her was

2861
02:07:08,080 --> 02:07:05,780
dark it's really cool

2862
02:07:10,240 --> 02:07:08,090
fantastic Nebraska you rock in the house

2863
02:07:12,070 --> 02:07:10,250
we really really appreciate that but

2864
02:07:13,870 --> 02:07:12,080
like Vince said there's a lot more to

2865
02:07:15,880 --> 02:07:13,880
come and we got the International Space

2866
02:07:17,470 --> 02:07:15,890
Station's don't forget so Johnny I want

2867
02:07:19,360 --> 02:07:17,480
to go back you know we had to bring in

2868
02:07:22,479 --> 02:07:19,370
those images but we were talking about

2869
02:07:23,979 --> 02:07:22,489
and you mentioned the stamp now the

2870
02:07:26,500 --> 02:07:23,989
United States Post Service they do

2871
02:07:28,330 --> 02:07:26,510
amazing work they do but they really

2872
02:07:31,030 --> 02:07:28,340
outdid themselves this time go ahead and

2873
02:07:33,160 --> 02:07:31,040
finish they did they actually created a

2874
02:07:34,250 --> 02:07:33,170
special stamp for this event it's

2875
02:07:37,310 --> 02:07:34,260
actually a third

2876
02:07:38,720 --> 02:07:37,320
chromic stamp which means that it gets

2877
02:07:41,600 --> 02:07:38,730
activated by heat and you're actually

2878
02:07:43,670 --> 02:07:41,610
looking at it now in your images this

2879
02:07:45,680 --> 02:07:43,680
stamp if you put your thumb into the

2880
02:07:48,740 --> 02:07:45,690
center it will actually make the moon

2881
02:07:50,900 --> 02:07:48,750
surface appear or any type of heat that

2882
02:07:52,730 --> 02:07:50,910
you apply to it it's an amazing stab and

2883
02:07:55,940 --> 02:07:52,740
you know I got mine yesterday thanks to

2884
02:07:59,740 --> 02:07:55,950
doing and it's it's thermochromic

2885
02:08:03,950 --> 02:07:59,750
thermochromic oh you think if that heat

2886
02:08:05,570 --> 02:08:03,960
activated by the heat yeah he um and I

2887
02:08:08,240 --> 02:08:05,580
bet you they sold a lot of those things

2888
02:08:11,480 --> 02:08:08,250
well they did they they sold out online

2889
02:08:13,430 --> 02:08:11,490
originally right away so it was quite a

2890
02:08:16,100 --> 02:08:13,440
popular one it's the first time the US

2891
02:08:19,150 --> 02:08:16,110
has ever used that type of ink okay so

2892
02:08:21,830 --> 02:08:19,160
we have seen some pretty cool images

2893
02:08:23,330 --> 02:08:21,840
still got some more to come the diamond

2894
02:08:25,760 --> 02:08:23,340
has been prominent let's go over the

2895
02:08:27,560 --> 02:08:25,770
social and see how things are going John

2896
02:08:29,210 --> 02:08:27,570
thanks to Amy we're continue look up

2897
02:08:30,320 --> 02:08:29,220
here in Charleston South Carolina

2898
02:08:32,210 --> 02:08:30,330
because there are some clouds here and

2899
02:08:34,430 --> 02:08:32,220
we're excited exciting we want a happier

2900
02:08:35,720 --> 02:08:34,440
to as well just a couple quick interests

2901
02:08:37,880 --> 02:08:35,730
interesting things this is the biggest

2902
02:08:41,000 --> 02:08:37,890
livestream event ever measured on

2903
02:08:43,070 --> 02:08:41,010
nasa.gov the web traffic is counting for

2904
02:08:44,690 --> 02:08:43,080
87% of all federal web traffic which is

2905
02:08:45,860 --> 02:08:44,700
pretty amazing showing that people are

2906
02:08:49,730 --> 02:08:45,870
really really tuning into our broadcast

2907
02:08:51,050 --> 02:08:49,740
year as of 1:40 p.m. 1 4.4 million

2908
02:08:53,870 --> 02:08:51,060
people climbing were watching this

2909
02:08:55,820 --> 02:08:53,880
broadcast so the interest across the

2910
02:08:58,220 --> 02:08:55,830
country is obvious here and we're going

2911
02:09:00,080 --> 02:08:58,230
to show you some amazing live views this

2912
02:09:02,510 --> 02:09:00,090
right here is again another photo of the

2913
02:09:04,580 --> 02:09:02,520
space station taken by Bill Ingalls in

2914
02:09:07,250 --> 02:09:04,590
Washington one of our photographers here

2915
02:09:08,750 --> 02:09:07,260
at NASA next thing I have a video from

2916
02:09:12,230 --> 02:09:08,760
another photographer one of our other

2917
02:09:15,029 --> 02:09:12,240
photographers as the space station

2918
02:09:18,029 --> 02:09:16,379
you could see it there if you're looking

2919
02:09:20,629 --> 02:09:18,039
closely you could see the space station

2920
02:09:23,939 --> 02:09:20,639
transient Sun during the partial eclipse

2921
02:09:25,319 --> 02:09:23,949
pretty spectacular again that's two

2922
02:09:27,779 --> 02:09:25,329
hundred fifty miles per hour that space

2923
02:09:28,889 --> 02:09:27,789
station you have to be I mean two and

2924
02:09:30,419 --> 02:09:28,899
fifty miles about the earth seventeen

2925
02:09:32,189 --> 02:09:30,429
thousand five miles per hour you if you

2926
02:09:34,770 --> 02:09:32,199
taking a lot of different shots pretty

2927
02:09:37,259 --> 02:09:34,780
fast to capture that so nice job Joel

2928
02:09:39,270 --> 02:09:37,269
okay so let's let's go to Jefferson City

2929
02:09:41,279 --> 02:09:39,280
the moon shadows continuing to pass over

2930
02:09:43,439 --> 02:09:41,289
the United States in this remarkable

2931
02:09:45,179 --> 02:09:43,449
celestial event our next stop on the

2932
02:09:47,639 --> 02:09:45,189
path as I said a fatality is Jefferson

2933
02:09:49,829 --> 02:09:47,649
City Missouri we're going to hand off to

2934
02:09:51,899 --> 02:09:49,839
meteorologist Eric Aldridge who is a

2935
02:09:54,149 --> 02:09:51,909
professor atmospheric science at the

2936
02:09:56,069 --> 02:09:54,159
University of Missouri gets a special

2937
02:09:58,199 --> 02:09:56,079
guest to help explain two important

2938
02:10:00,959 --> 02:09:58,209
impacts solar activity can have on

2939
02:10:05,069 --> 02:10:00,969
humans and the technologies we use over

2940
02:10:06,599 --> 02:10:05,079
to you Eric okay thanks a lot yeah we

2941
02:10:08,279 --> 02:10:06,609
are live in Jefferson City Missouri

2942
02:10:10,079 --> 02:10:08,289
Jefferson City is actually the state

2943
02:10:12,119 --> 02:10:10,089
capital and as you can see behind me

2944
02:10:13,589 --> 02:10:12,129
there's a lot of people that are here

2945
02:10:16,049 --> 02:10:13,599
it's been a whole weekend the type of

2946
02:10:18,719 --> 02:10:16,059
thing Saturday Sunday and of course here

2947
02:10:21,029 --> 02:10:18,729
on Monday lots of family-friendly things

2948
02:10:23,339 --> 02:10:21,039
there's been corn mazes there's been 5k

2949
02:10:24,899 --> 02:10:23,349
runs there's a lot of good food too bad

2950
02:10:26,369 --> 02:10:24,909
you can't smell the food but there's a

2951
02:10:28,889 --> 02:10:26,379
lot of good food that's here as well and

2952
02:10:30,899 --> 02:10:28,899
just a very nice weekend the weather has

2953
02:10:32,219 --> 02:10:30,909
been perfect we've had some showers and

2954
02:10:34,049 --> 02:10:32,229
thunderstorms off to the west all

2955
02:10:36,239 --> 02:10:34,059
morning we've had a few high clouds kind

2956
02:10:38,279 --> 02:10:36,249
of stream on in but certainly things are

2957
02:10:40,619 --> 02:10:38,289
looking really good I am lucky to be

2958
02:10:42,299 --> 02:10:40,629
joined here by two special people that

2959
02:10:44,789 --> 02:10:42,309
are gonna be talking about space weather

2960
02:10:47,069 --> 02:10:44,799
and just how things work in space dr.

2961
02:10:50,459 --> 02:10:47,079
Janet Kevon D thank you so much you are

2962
02:10:53,879 --> 02:10:50,469
thank the director of the NASA Glenn

2963
02:10:56,609 --> 02:10:53,889
Research Center in Cleveland you're also

2964
02:10:57,839 --> 02:10:56,619
a three-time Shuttle astronaut okay and

2965
02:11:01,020 --> 02:10:57,849
you are actually from Springfield

2966
02:11:02,909 --> 02:11:01,030
Missouri so welcome home thank you great

2967
02:11:04,319 --> 02:11:02,919
to be back well great so now you know

2968
02:11:05,849 --> 02:11:04,329
we've been talking a lot about safety

2969
02:11:07,739 --> 02:11:05,859
and obviously you don't want to look

2970
02:11:09,449 --> 02:11:07,749
right up at the Sun not without these

2971
02:11:11,879 --> 02:11:09,459
that's right yeah and so we all have

2972
02:11:13,649 --> 02:11:11,889
some so that's good but what about the

2973
02:11:15,719 --> 02:11:13,659
astronauts that are up in space what

2974
02:11:17,720 --> 02:11:15,729
what is there to help keep the

2975
02:11:20,310 --> 02:11:17,730
astronauts safe from the Soul

2976
02:11:22,110 --> 02:11:20,320
radiation and so on I'm sorry well for

2977
02:11:23,340 --> 02:11:22,120
their eyes we know that they they know

2978
02:11:24,419 --> 02:11:23,350
that certain windows they should not

2979
02:11:26,550 --> 02:11:24,429
look out of because there's no

2980
02:11:28,590 --> 02:11:26,560
protection other windows have protection

2981
02:11:30,180 --> 02:11:28,600
on them that helps shield their eyes but

2982
02:11:32,010 --> 02:11:30,190
also there's other kinds of radiation

2983
02:11:34,050 --> 02:11:32,020
like protons that come from the Sun

2984
02:11:36,930 --> 02:11:34,060
heavier particles that can cause damage

2985
02:11:38,250 --> 02:11:36,940
to ourselves and we try to shield the

2986
02:11:39,419 --> 02:11:38,260
astronauts as best we can because

2987
02:11:41,610 --> 02:11:39,429
they're above the atmosphere we're

2988
02:11:43,950 --> 02:11:41,620
shielded here by that atmosphere quite a

2989
02:11:45,510 --> 02:11:43,960
bit above that you don't have that

2990
02:11:47,520 --> 02:11:45,520
natural shielding so we have to do it

2991
02:11:49,860 --> 02:11:47,530
with both metal and they're in the

2992
02:11:51,510 --> 02:11:49,870
vehicle and then some water bags around

2993
02:11:53,070 --> 02:11:51,520
the sleep station so they can sleep

2994
02:11:55,229 --> 02:11:53,080
surrounded by water and that also helps

2995
02:11:58,080 --> 02:11:55,239
absorb some of that radiation okay now

2996
02:12:00,030 --> 02:11:58,090
you know we also are kind of excited

2997
02:12:01,860 --> 02:12:00,040
about space communications and that's

2998
02:12:04,770 --> 02:12:01,870
certainly another special research area

2999
02:12:06,360 --> 02:12:04,780
and so also with me here today is dr.

3000
02:12:08,370 --> 02:12:06,370
Tam with the scope you know you're from

3001
02:12:10,200 --> 02:12:08,380
the aerospace corporations in Los

3002
02:12:12,770 --> 02:12:10,210
Angeles so welcome to Central Missouri

3003
02:12:14,760 --> 02:12:12,780
thank you now you're also a space

3004
02:12:16,590 --> 02:12:14,770
meteorologist yes and you are also

3005
02:12:18,780 --> 02:12:16,600
referred to as the space weather woman

3006
02:12:20,820 --> 02:12:18,790
Yeah right so I've been intrigued by

3007
02:12:22,979 --> 02:12:20,830
this what what exactly does a space

3008
02:12:25,080 --> 02:12:22,989
weather woman do well most people don't

3009
02:12:26,760 --> 02:12:25,090
realize that the Sun actually has its

3010
02:12:28,709 --> 02:12:26,770
own unique weather that comes from it

3011
02:12:31,090 --> 02:12:28,719
and those solar eruptions that come from

3012
02:12:34,270 --> 02:12:31,100
the Sun they actually

3013
02:12:36,160 --> 02:12:34,280
in earth and cause issues for us so I

3014
02:12:37,870 --> 02:12:36,170
actually do a weekly broadcast weather

3015
02:12:39,460 --> 02:12:37,880
predictions just like you do like a

3016
02:12:41,440 --> 02:12:39,470
meteorologist me that talks about

3017
02:12:42,730 --> 02:12:41,450
women's events head birth and the types

3018
02:12:45,790 --> 02:12:42,740
of the issues that they cause for things

3019
02:12:47,680 --> 02:12:45,800
like communications like GPS okay now

3020
02:12:51,820 --> 02:12:47,690
we're just about 15 seconds away

3021
02:12:54,130 --> 02:12:51,830
actually we're gonna put our glasses on

3022
02:13:01,550 --> 02:12:54,140
you can hear the crowd cheering in the

3023
02:13:01,560 --> 02:13:05,960
[Music]

3024
02:13:22,479 --> 02:13:18,820
[Applause]

3025
02:13:24,399 --> 02:13:22,489
dr. kovanda you've been a space you've

3026
02:13:26,350 --> 02:13:24,409
seen numerous sunrises and sunsets from

3027
02:13:28,540 --> 02:13:26,360
the Space Shuttle how does this event

3028
02:13:29,649 --> 02:13:28,550
compare completely different than

3029
02:13:31,899 --> 02:13:29,659
anything I've seen before I've never

3030
02:13:33,580 --> 02:13:31,909
found eclipses look I've seen a partial

3031
02:13:35,919 --> 02:13:33,590
but nothing like this is this really

3032
02:13:38,399 --> 02:13:35,929
unique and nothing like I saw in space

3033
02:13:40,479 --> 02:13:38,409
space past it's really cool this right

3034
02:13:41,979 --> 02:13:40,489
you know I'm starting to hear the

3035
02:13:44,260 --> 02:13:41,989
crickets they're starting to come on out

3036
02:13:46,840 --> 02:13:44,270
obviously the street lamps this is

3037
02:13:48,160 --> 02:13:46,850
amazing no I'm also looking up to try to

3038
02:13:54,430 --> 02:13:48,170
find the Big Dipper and some of the

3039
02:13:56,800 --> 02:13:54,440
other stars I'm really mesmerized by

3040
02:13:58,870 --> 02:13:56,810
this this is this is a spectacular event

3041
02:14:00,370 --> 02:13:58,880
we've had several solar storms that have

3042
02:14:02,140 --> 02:14:00,380
been launched and some of them have been

3043
02:14:03,760 --> 02:14:02,150
launched from the left side of the Sun

3044
02:14:05,919 --> 02:14:03,770
so we're actually seeing a difference

3045
02:14:07,390 --> 02:14:05,929
from what the Kronos looked like in our

3046
02:14:09,580 --> 02:14:07,400
predictions to what it looks like now

3047
02:14:11,830 --> 02:14:09,590
and then on top of that we have ham

3048
02:14:13,810 --> 02:14:11,840
radio operators all over the state right

3049
02:14:15,220 --> 02:14:13,820
now who are making contacts that they

3050
02:14:17,590 --> 02:14:15,230
haven't been able to make because the

3051
02:14:19,330 --> 02:14:17,600
upper atmosphere is just all all

3052
02:14:20,919 --> 02:14:19,340
turbulent right now and it affects the

3053
02:14:23,500 --> 02:14:20,929
communication signals so we've got GPS

3054
02:14:25,780 --> 02:14:23,510
operators and ham radio operators doing

3055
02:14:28,180 --> 02:14:25,790
a ton of science and it's just so it's

3056
02:14:30,010 --> 02:14:28,190
overwhelming this is amazing now my team

3057
02:14:31,870 --> 02:14:30,020
of atmospheric science researchers from

3058
02:14:33,610 --> 02:14:31,880
the University of Missouri they are

3059
02:14:35,140 --> 02:14:33,620
actually sending up weather balloons

3060
02:14:37,390 --> 02:14:35,150
here this afternoon to try to figure out

3061
02:14:39,340 --> 02:14:37,400
you know how the weather is changing at

3062
02:14:41,270 --> 02:14:39,350
certain height levels and actually

3063
02:14:43,920 --> 02:14:41,280
here's a map of these

3064
02:14:45,990 --> 02:14:43,930
radiation throughout the state of

3065
02:14:48,330 --> 02:14:46,000
Missouri and if you kind of see how much

3066
02:14:50,460 --> 02:14:48,340
solar radiation is hitting the surface

3067
02:14:53,610 --> 02:14:50,470
of the earth here in Missouri just

3068
02:14:55,140 --> 02:14:53,620
interesting this is amazing it is you

3069
02:14:57,450 --> 02:14:55,150
can tell the crowd is just massive oh

3070
02:14:59,040 --> 02:14:57,460
this is so cool and you can even see the

3071
02:15:00,870 --> 02:14:59,050
dips in the valleys there you can see

3072
02:15:02,640 --> 02:15:00,880
low areas of the Sun where it's shining

3073
02:15:04,620 --> 02:15:02,650
through more frightened those create the

3074
02:15:06,270 --> 02:15:04,630
Bailey because I see it was we become we

3075
02:15:09,030 --> 02:15:06,280
get out of totality which is coming up

3076
02:15:12,810 --> 02:15:09,040
here pretty soon right yeah I think we

3077
02:15:14,190 --> 02:15:12,820
we come out of totality at 115 35 local

3078
02:15:17,700 --> 02:15:14,200
time and so we just have a few more

3079
02:15:19,470 --> 02:15:17,710
seconds for that absolutely an amazing

3080
02:15:21,450 --> 02:15:19,480
event and again we're so lucky that some

3081
02:15:24,120 --> 02:15:21,460
of these high clouds were able to kind

3082
02:15:26,400 --> 02:15:24,130
of oh yeah gonna fall apart a little bit

3083
02:15:27,870 --> 02:15:26,410
so we could experience and I can't

3084
02:15:29,670 --> 02:15:27,880
believe we can actually see the camera

3085
02:15:31,530 --> 02:15:29,680
through the cloud okay that's the

3086
02:15:34,950 --> 02:15:31,540
airhorn we're coming out of totality

3087
02:15:42,240 --> 02:15:34,960
we're getting so we need to put our

3088
02:15:46,600 --> 02:15:44,770
so as you can see we're coming out of

3089
02:15:48,010 --> 02:15:46,610
totality here in Jefferson City Missouri

3090
02:15:52,810 --> 02:15:48,020
ladies thank you so much for

3091
02:15:54,520 --> 02:15:52,820
experiencing this with me yes thank you

3092
02:15:56,649 --> 02:15:54,530
so everyone's excited here at Jefferson

3093
02:15:58,149 --> 02:15:56,659
City Missouri the Sun started to come

3094
02:16:00,399 --> 02:15:58,159
out a little bit we're gonna go ahead

3095
02:16:06,160 --> 02:16:00,409
and send it back to Charleston we should

3096
02:16:09,010 --> 02:16:06,170
have stayed thanks Eric yadi Wow hey

3097

it's an amazing like I get goosebumps

3098
02:16:12,850 --> 02:16:11,480
every time I see this and so I cannot

3099
02:16:14,740 --> 02:16:12,860
imagine how it's gonna be

3100
02:16:18,750 --> 02:16:14,750
you know when we actually see it here

3101
02:16:21,580 --> 02:16:18,760
South Carolina I mean so Alex you know

3102
02:16:22,870 --> 02:16:21,590
I'm speechless man I mean as a scientist

3103
02:16:24,910 --> 02:16:22,880
you gotta like love this stuff right

3104
02:16:27,550 --> 02:16:24,920
it's so great to hear that man love

3105
02:16:29,439 --> 02:16:27,560
hearing an experienced astronaut talk

3106
02:16:31,840 --> 02:16:29,449
about how overwhelming it is given the

3107
02:16:33,969 --> 02:16:31,850
amazing things that she has seen but

3108
02:16:36,459 --> 02:16:33,979
also to hear my colleague tamatha Skov

3109
02:16:39,339 --> 02:16:36,469
who is also a Helio physicist and a

3110
02:16:42,100 --> 02:16:39,349
space weather expert I can hear the

3111
02:16:44,230 --> 02:16:42,110
excitement and her voice I can I mean

3112
02:16:47,259 --> 02:16:44,240
it's it's palpable it's just great yeah

3113
02:16:49,209 --> 02:16:47,269
so check this out guys I mean I think

3114
02:16:51,370 --> 02:16:49,219
things are going so smooth we're gonna

3115
02:16:54,940 --> 02:16:51,380
go to another image right now from

3116
02:16:56,440 --> 02:16:54,950
Hopkins girl Bryan Massey out there from

3117
02:17:00,690 --> 02:16:56,450
Marshall Space Flight Center what's

3118
02:17:07,179 --> 02:17:05,160
Hopkinsville there it is

3119
02:17:10,209 --> 02:17:07,189
that's beautiful they're getting close

3120
02:17:11,679 --> 02:17:10,219
now now now it's yellow is that if we

3121
02:17:13,209 --> 02:17:11,689
had purple as that mean something there

3122
02:17:15,700 --> 02:17:13,219
well the previous one we saw those

3123
02:17:18,759 --> 02:17:15,710
purple was calcium K was a blue kind of

3124
02:17:20,530 --> 02:17:18,769
light this is actually more of a white

3125
02:17:22,240 --> 02:17:20,540
light continuous but the thing to

3126
02:17:25,270 --> 02:17:22,250
remember is sometimes the different

3127
02:17:26,650 --> 02:17:25,280
filters you use will change the color

3128
02:17:29,230 --> 02:17:26,660
just a little bit but what we're seeing

3129
02:17:31,839 --> 02:17:29,240
here is really more visible broader

3130
02:17:34,089 --> 02:17:31,849
spectrum white light let me let me John

3131
02:17:36,910 --> 02:17:34,099
you gotta have some cool stuff so to me

3132
02:17:38,320 --> 02:17:36,920
this is a good question guys mark from

3133
02:17:40,000 --> 02:17:38,330
Facebook's asking and this is what

3134
02:17:42,009 --> 02:17:40,010
really applies right now when observing

3135
02:17:44,290 --> 02:17:42,019
the moon at night I see it proceeded

3136
02:17:45,820 --> 02:17:44,300
from Eastern to western horizon much

3137
02:17:47,320 --> 02:17:45,830
like the Sun does how come the solar

3138
02:17:48,590 --> 02:17:47,330
eclipse is traveling from west to east

3139
02:17:51,230 --> 02:17:48,600
across the u.s.

3140
02:17:52,940 --> 02:17:51,240
well again that that's because when

3141
02:17:55,130 --> 02:17:52,950
we're looking at the moonrise that's

3142
02:17:56,930 --> 02:17:55,140
actually because of our location on the

3143
02:17:59,450 --> 02:17:56,940
earth and the fact that the earth is

3144
02:18:01,370 --> 02:17:59,460
rotating from west to east the same

3145
02:18:02,480 --> 02:18:01,380
reason that the Sun rises in the east

3146
02:18:05,330 --> 02:18:02,490
and sets in the west

3147
02:18:07,220 --> 02:18:05,340
but the moon itself is moving in the

3148
02:18:09,830 --> 02:18:07,230
same direction the earth is rotating and

3149
02:18:11,390 --> 02:18:09,840
it's casting that shadow down on the

3150
02:18:13,910 --> 02:18:11,400
earth and that is moving in the

3151
02:18:16,250 --> 02:18:13,920
direction that the that both the moon is

3152
02:18:21,260 --> 02:18:16,260
wrote is orbiting and the earth is

3153
02:18:24,470 --> 02:18:21,270
rotating so from west to east okay so

3154
02:18:26,840 --> 02:18:24,480
the total eclipse is now passed over

3155
02:18:29,210 --> 02:18:26,850
half the country it's currently over

3156
02:18:31,280 --> 02:18:29,220
Illinois and I think we're going to have

3157
02:18:34,100 --> 02:18:31,290
some views coming up shortly but what I

3158
02:18:36,200 --> 02:18:34,110
really want to do here guys is this has

3159
02:18:37,250 --> 02:18:36,210
been really incredible I want to give a

3160
02:18:38,199 --> 02:18:37,260
shout out to the College of Charleston

3161
02:18:53,719 --> 02:18:38,209
make some noise

3162
02:18:59,280 --> 02:18:57,059
we haven't we love it in here so now

3163
02:19:00,929 --> 02:18:59,290
we've got live video coming to us from -

3164
02:19:03,030 --> 02:19:00,939
real Kentucky it's a small town that's

3165
02:19:04,709 --> 02:19:03,040
known for southern hospitality like

3166
02:19:06,570 --> 02:19:04,719
Charleston and it's also a prime spot

3167
02:19:08,759 --> 02:19:06,580
for viewing this total solar eclipse

3168
02:19:10,320 --> 02:19:08,769
Hopkinsville is the city with the

3169
02:19:12,179 --> 02:19:10,330
longest duration and the total solar

3170
02:19:15,389 --> 02:19:12,189
eclipse for a total of two minutes and

3171
02:19:17,790 --> 02:19:15,399
40 seconds of totality nastas monsters

3172
02:19:19,860 --> 02:19:17,800
by flight center space flights and a

3173
02:19:23,879 --> 02:19:19,870
Braun Massey I'm so excited what you got

3174

man Dewayne we're just as excited as you

3175
02:19:29,849 --> 02:19:25,569
are we are here in Eclipse we'll say

3176
02:19:31,410 --> 02:19:29,859
hello everybody I'm surrounded by a

3177
02:19:32,459 --> 02:19:31,420
thousand of my best friends we're

3178
02:19:34,500 --> 02:19:32,469
getting ready it's starting to get a

3179
02:19:36,240 --> 02:19:34,510
little darker already we're also joined

3180
02:19:38,309 --> 02:19:36,250
here by NASA Marshall planetary

3181
02:19:39,990 --> 02:19:38,319
scientist Renee Weber Renee thanks for

3182
02:19:41,790 --> 02:19:40,000
joining us thanks it's really great to

3183
02:19:43,469 --> 02:19:41,800
be here I just want to say thank you to

3184
02:19:45,179 --> 02:19:43,479
the city of Hopkinsville for having us

3185
02:19:47,759 --> 02:19:45,189
out on this beautiful farm in Kentucky

3186
02:19:49,620 --> 02:19:47,769
and we're just all really excited yeah

3187
02:19:51,120 --> 02:19:49,630
definitely it's a lot of fun there's

3188
02:19:53,849 --> 02:19:51,130
light starting to fade and the

3189
02:19:55,559 --> 02:19:53,859
excitements getting bigger we are at the

3190
02:19:57,150 --> 02:19:55,569
point of greatest eclipse here at

3191
02:19:59,160 --> 02:19:57,160
Hopkinsville Renee tell us a little bit

3192
02:20:00,900 --> 02:19:59,170
what's the significance of that well the

3193
02:20:04,139 --> 02:20:00,910
point of greatest Eclipse is actually a

3194
02:20:06,690 --> 02:20:04,149
point in time when the axis of the

3195
02:20:08,790 --> 02:20:06,700
moon's shadow is pointed most directly

3196
02:20:10,469 --> 02:20:08,800
towards the center of the earth so we

3197
02:20:13,290 --> 02:20:10,479
are at the point on the surface of the

3198
02:20:15,420 --> 02:20:13,300
earth where that time occurs exactly the

3199
02:20:16,740 --> 02:20:15,430
shadow will actually be more circular

3200
02:20:18,750 --> 02:20:16,750
here than anywhere else in the country

3201
02:20:20,790 --> 02:20:18,760
that's right and it's just getting

3202
02:20:22,920 --> 02:20:20,800
really dim and uh we're just so close

3203
02:20:23,550 --> 02:20:22,930
it's incredible yeah it's this is

3204
02:20:25,950 --> 02:20:23,560
amazing

3205
02:20:27,510 --> 02:20:25,960
we can't wait to break out in the

3206
02:20:29,309 --> 02:20:27,520
darkness we've got our glasses out we've

3207
02:20:33,300 --> 02:20:29,319
been looking up at it you can see now on

3208
02:20:36,120 --> 02:20:33,310
the screen our live telescope view and

3209
02:20:38,490 --> 02:20:36,130
this is just amazing everybody is really

3210
02:20:40,080 --> 02:20:38,500
enjoying it we've got people from all

3211
02:20:42,030 --> 02:20:40,090
over Kentucky people from all over the

3212
02:20:44,790 --> 02:20:42,040
world have joined us here as this is

3213
02:20:47,969 --> 02:20:44,800
Eclipse ville USA and we are just a few

3214
02:20:49,830 --> 02:20:47,979
minutes away from total totality but

3215
02:20:51,950 --> 02:20:49,840
before we get to that point Renee tell

3216
02:20:55,140 --> 02:20:51,960
us you're a planetary scientist and you

3217
02:20:57,001 --> 02:20:55,150
specialize in the moon lunar scientists

3218
02:20:59,400 --> 02:20:57,011
how does the eclipse really speak to

3219
02:21:00,961 --> 02:20:59,410
what you do well it is pretty cool to

3220
02:21:02,551 --> 02:21:00,971
look up there and when you're seeing

3221
02:21:04,711 --> 02:21:02,561
that Sun get dimmer and dimmer it's

3222
02:21:05,671 --> 02:21:04,721
because the moon is up there and I like

3223
02:21:06,900 --> 02:21:05,681
to tell everyone that you're really

3224
02:21:09,060 --> 02:21:06,910
looking at the moon when you're watching

3225
02:21:10,890 --> 02:21:09,070
a solar eclipse and it's just getting

3226
02:21:13,530 --> 02:21:10,900
dim and it's starting to get a lot

3227
02:21:15,390 --> 02:21:13,540
cooler too it's incredible this is my

3228
02:21:17,280 --> 02:21:15,400
first solar eclipse Renee have you ever

3229
02:21:19,200 --> 02:21:17,290
experienced one this is my first total

3230
02:21:21,270 --> 02:21:19,210
eclipse - I've seen partial eclipses but

3231
02:21:23,011 --> 02:21:21,280
I've never had a chance to see totality

3232
02:21:24,480 --> 02:21:23,021
before and I'm just so excited it's

3233
02:21:26,160 --> 02:21:24,490
amazing them the light is starting to

3234
02:21:27,660 --> 02:21:26,170
fade as the Moon steps in front of the

3235
02:21:30,121 --> 02:21:27,670
Sun here and it's already just a really

3236
02:21:32,011 --> 02:21:30,131
eerie feeling here getting dark in the

3237
02:21:33,690 --> 02:21:32,021
middle of the day but we're really

3238
02:21:36,360 --> 02:21:33,700
excited about it and we're just a few

3239
02:21:37,560 --> 02:21:36,370
seconds away I've lost my counter but

3240
02:21:39,200 --> 02:21:37,570
I'm gonna look back at the Sun while I

3241
02:21:41,551 --> 02:21:39,210
still have the opportunity

3242
02:21:43,530 --> 02:21:41,561
wow that is absolutely amazing we're

3243
02:21:44,970 --> 02:21:43,540
down to just a thin sliver of the Sun

3244
02:21:46,621 --> 02:21:44,980
Renee what do you think about this I

3245
02:21:48,841 --> 02:21:46,631
can't believe it it's just it looks

3246
02:21:50,791 --> 02:21:48,851
incredible and it really is starting to

3247
02:21:53,251 --> 02:21:50,801
get dim and you nobody even needs their

3248
02:21:55,171 --> 02:21:53,261
sunglasses just your Eclipse glasses and

3249
02:21:58,060 --> 02:21:55,181
you can see that beautiful crescent Sun

3250
02:22:02,180 --> 02:21:58,070
wow this is absolutely amazing

3251
02:22:06,261 --> 02:22:03,950
we're just really looking forward to

3252
02:22:08,091 --> 02:22:06,271
that for a chance we got no clouds here

3253
02:22:10,730 --> 02:22:08,101
in the sky and you can see some

3254
02:22:12,830 --> 02:22:10,740
airplanes up there but that Suns just

3255
02:22:13,940 --> 02:22:12,840
getting smaller and smaller yeah it's

3256
02:22:16,190 --> 02:22:13,950
definitely a Hopkinsville Kentucky

3257
02:22:18,230 --> 02:22:16,200
Chamber of Commerce sponsored date here

3258
02:22:21,140 --> 02:22:18,240
in Eclipse Ville there's not a cloud in

3259
02:22:24,230 --> 02:22:21,150
the sky and it's amazing how it's gotten

3260
02:22:25,881 --> 02:22:24,240
so much cooler here since since the Sun

3261
02:22:27,381 --> 02:22:25,891
started covering up them or the start is

3262
02:22:29,120 --> 02:22:27,391
already being covered yeah it's nice to

3263
02:22:31,190 --> 02:22:29,130
have a break from that hot southern Sun

3264
02:22:33,020 --> 02:22:31,200
yeah definitely we've been sweating it

3265
02:22:35,060 --> 02:22:33,030
out a couple days here in Hopkinsville

3266
02:22:38,030 --> 02:22:35,070
getting ready for this we're getting

3267
02:22:40,870 --> 02:22:38,040
really close now so what exactly are we

3268
02:22:43,761 --> 02:22:40,880
looking at here na well we're just about

3269
02:22:45,470 --> 02:22:43,771
close to a hundred percent it's just

3270
02:22:47,301 --> 02:22:45,480
getting smaller and smaller and it's

3271
02:22:48,740 --> 02:22:47,311
getting dimmer and dimmer and hopefully

3272
02:22:50,740 --> 02:22:48,750
soon we'll have a chance to see those

3273
02:22:53,780 --> 02:22:50,750
Baily's beads and that diamond ring

3274
02:22:56,060 --> 02:22:53,790
that's when you can actually see the

3275
02:22:58,370 --> 02:22:56,070
light shining through the moon's valleys

3276
02:23:00,261 --> 02:22:58,380
the moon's not a perfectly smooth sphere

3277
02:23:02,000 --> 02:23:00,271
it's got that rugged surface and you can

3278
02:23:03,910 --> 02:23:02,010
see those sun ray is shining through

3279
02:23:06,170 --> 02:23:03,920
those mountains and valleys and craters

3280
02:23:08,930 --> 02:23:06,180
Wow it's looking like we're about one

3281
02:23:10,930 --> 02:23:08,940
minute out now and just getting smaller

3282
02:23:13,301 --> 02:23:10,940
and smaller

3283
02:23:19,301 --> 02:23:13,311
Wow this is this is amazing crowds

3284
02:23:25,541 --> 02:23:19,311
getting really excited - hey guys who

3285
02:23:31,251 --> 02:23:28,841
Wow it's getting closer Wow

3286
02:23:33,921 --> 02:23:31,261
it's just getting really close to

3287
02:23:36,501 --> 02:23:33,931
nighttime it's incredible it's like very

3288
02:23:38,631 --> 02:23:36,511
dim definitely it feels like dawn or

3289
02:23:48,621 --> 02:23:38,641
dusk here in Hopkinsville right now as

3290
02:23:51,051 --> 02:23:48,631
it's getting closer you can see on our

3291
02:23:53,961 --> 02:23:51,061
feed this that tiny tiny little sliver

3292
02:23:58,220 --> 02:23:53,971
left to go and it's really starting to

3293
02:24:01,100 --> 02:23:58,230
get dark now Wow and you can see the

3294
02:24:04,280 --> 02:24:01,110
pink color around the horizon oh it's

3295
02:24:07,520 --> 02:24:04,290
like the sunset it's beautiful it's

3296
02:24:11,660 --> 02:24:07,530
going it's going just that tiny tiny

3297
02:24:11,670 --> 02:24:16,700
[Applause]

3298
02:24:21,791 --> 02:24:17,220
[Music]

3299
02:24:25,741 --> 02:24:21,801
[Applause]

3300
02:24:28,301 --> 02:24:25,751
and we are in total solar eclipse

3301
02:24:30,730 --> 02:24:28,311
absolutely breathtaking yeah you can see

3302
02:24:32,650 --> 02:24:30,740
the corona that beautiful white wispy

3303
02:24:35,440 --> 02:24:32,660
crown coming out from the Sun in all

3304
02:24:37,511 --> 02:24:35,450
directions and we can see airplanes and

3305
02:24:41,140 --> 02:24:37,521
I think I see Jupiter in the sky over

3306
02:24:46,650 --> 02:24:41,150
there I think I can see Jupiter wow

3307
02:24:52,270 --> 02:24:50,081
can only imagine in ancient times what

3308
02:24:54,430 --> 02:24:52,280
this much of they're like out of nowhere

3309
02:24:58,030 --> 02:24:54,440
I am covered in head-to-toe in

3310
02:24:59,770 --> 02:24:58,040
goosebumps at each shield I know I just

3311
02:25:01,180 --> 02:24:59,780
can't believe we finally got a chance to

3312
02:25:03,041 --> 02:25:01,190
see it I mean it's one thing to read

3313
02:25:04,480 --> 02:25:03,051
about it but it's another thing when you

3314
02:25:07,360 --> 02:25:04,490
get to see it yourself with your own

3315
02:25:08,770 --> 02:25:07,370
eyes guys we're gonna take a break here

3316
02:25:10,871 --> 02:25:08,780
just a second we're gonna step back and

3317
02:25:33,030 --> 02:25:10,881
fully enjoy this and hope you enjoy our

3318
02:25:33,040 --> 02:26:52,880
[Applause]

3319
02:27:00,150 --> 02:26:55,380
here in Eclipse ville it is definitely

3320
02:27:04,170 --> 02:27:00,160
lived up to the moon and stepping aside

3321
02:27:06,349 --> 02:27:04,180
from the Sun brighter totality has

3322
02:27:09,840 --> 02:27:06,359
finished here at Hopkinsville

3323
02:27:17,099 --> 02:27:09,850
Wow that was absolutely amazing grenade

3324
02:27:19,800 --> 02:27:17,109
continue even try to put it in this is

3325
02:27:21,389 --> 02:27:19,810
amazing we can see the birds flying see

3326
02:27:25,320 --> 02:27:21,399
the Sun starting to come out and it's

3327
02:27:26,730 --> 02:27:25,330
getting bright again this is amazing

3328
02:27:31,760 --> 02:27:26,740
it's really a once-in-a-lifetime

3329
02:27:41,040 --> 02:27:39,929
Wow we have set in meetings preparing

3330
02:27:43,080 --> 02:27:41,050
for this for the last two or three

3331
02:27:45,330 --> 02:27:43,090
months and now this is actually here

3332
02:27:47,940 --> 02:27:45,340
it's completely 100% leave lived up to

3333
02:27:50,130 --> 02:27:47,950
its billing and I can't imagine I can't

3334
02:27:51,679 --> 02:27:50,140
believe what just amazing we were so

3335
02:27:53,849 --> 02:27:51,689
worried about the weather and the

3336
02:27:55,380 --> 02:27:53,859
broadcast and making sure our telescope

3337
02:27:57,090 --> 02:27:55,390
was set up and everything went smooth

3338
02:28:00,050 --> 02:27:57,100
and we just had a blast

3339
02:28:02,400 --> 02:28:00,060
Wow this has been absolutely amazing

3340
02:28:04,500 --> 02:28:02,410
folks we have really enjoyed it it's

3341
02:28:06,960 --> 02:28:04,510
been a great time here at Hopkinsville

3342
02:28:08,610 --> 02:28:06,970
here at Eclipse Ville USA now time for

3343
02:28:10,260 --> 02:28:08,620
us to send it back to Clarksville

3344
02:28:13,020 --> 02:28:10,270
Tennessee where our good friend Chris

3345
02:28:20,440 --> 02:28:13,030
Blair standing by for their reaction to

3346
02:28:28,210 --> 02:28:26,410
but I think he meant Charleston so let's

3347
02:28:29,860 --> 02:28:28,220
bring it back here at Eclipse circle

3348
02:28:37,840 --> 02:28:29,870
there's only one inch left central and

3349
02:28:40,060 --> 02:28:37,850
it's here in Charleston yeah okay so the

3350
02:28:43,030 --> 02:28:40,070
hits just keep on coming through the

3351
02:28:44,740 --> 02:28:43,040
eyes of NASA now let's continue and then

3352
02:28:48,640 --> 02:28:44,750
a tease are going to be pre-recorded

3353
02:28:50,560 --> 02:28:48,650
views from the high-altitude WP 57

3354
02:28:52,330 --> 02:28:50,570
aircraft they saw high above the clouds

3355
02:28:54,280 --> 02:28:52,340
that could potentially block the views

3356
02:28:56,620 --> 02:28:54,290
of today's Eclipse and they're chasing

3357
02:28:58,929 --> 02:28:56,630
the total solar eclipse they're mid

3358
02:29:03,400 --> 02:28:58,939
weighing long range aircraft used to

3359
02:29:27,679 --> 02:29:03,410
conduct high altitude research so let's

3360
02:29:35,250 --> 02:29:34,410
yeah yeah okay yeah what what what are

3361
02:29:38,029 --> 02:29:35,260
we saying here

3362
02:29:41,250 --> 02:29:38,039
Alex so right now we're looking at these

3363
02:29:44,219 --> 02:29:41,260
specially fitted cameras they're on the

3364
02:29:47,309 --> 02:29:44,229
nose cone of the WB 57 and these are

3365
02:29:48,989 --> 02:29:47,319
designed to look at the corona and

3366
02:29:53,580 --> 02:29:48,999
they're also designed to look at mercury

3367
02:29:56,699 --> 02:29:53,590
they're taking thousands of images every

3368
02:29:59,580 --> 02:29:56,709
minute and processing this data to give

3369
02:30:03,330 --> 02:29:59,590
us an extended view because up there at

3370
02:30:05,429 --> 02:30:03,340
50,000 feet it's 20 to 30 times darker

3371
02:30:06,929 --> 02:30:05,439
than it is here on the earth and here on

3372
02:30:08,609 --> 02:30:06,939
the earth it's a lot less scattered

3373
02:30:11,340 --> 02:30:08,619
light so this is a really unique

3374
02:30:13,519 --> 02:30:11,350
opportunity as those two planes fly in

3375
02:30:22,371 --> 02:30:13,529
tandem they give us about eight or more

3376
02:30:27,680 --> 02:30:24,411
the other thing they're actually looking

3377
02:30:30,791 --> 02:30:27,690
at is because they're so high up it's

3378
02:30:33,671 --> 02:30:30,801
very cold and that allows them to take

3379
02:30:36,201 --> 02:30:33,681
infrared observations and in this case

3380
02:30:38,211 --> 02:30:36,211
mercury is very close to the Sun and

3381
02:30:40,640 --> 02:30:38,221
they can take infrared observations of

3382
02:30:43,371 --> 02:30:40,650
mercury to see the temperature change as

3383
02:30:44,480 --> 02:30:43,381
mercury is rotating that's amazing

3384
02:30:46,640 --> 02:30:44,490
so we're going to come back with that

3385
02:30:57,801 --> 02:30:46,650
but let's go now let's go to Clarksville

3386
02:30:59,511 --> 02:30:57,811
and see what's going on there all right

3387
02:31:01,341 --> 02:30:59,521
thanks and welcome back we're excited to

3388
02:31:03,261 --> 02:31:01,351
highlight some of the student science

3389
02:31:05,121 --> 02:31:03,271
and the STEM aspect of this solar

3390
02:31:06,261 --> 02:31:05,131
eclipse we have several students joining

3391
02:31:07,610 --> 02:31:06,271
us right now would you please tell our

3392
02:31:09,440 --> 02:31:07,620
audience your name and what school you

3393
02:31:11,121 --> 02:31:09,450
go to my name is Eliza Diller I'm from

3394
02:31:12,921 --> 02:31:11,131
the University of Alabama Huntsville and

3395
02:31:14,241 --> 02:31:12,931
what club or group are you with I'm

3396
02:31:15,770 --> 02:31:14,251
actually with the space hardware club

3397
02:31:17,241 --> 02:31:15,780
all right and you guys have been

3398
02:31:18,711 --> 02:31:17,251
launching balloons all day today tell us

3399
02:31:20,060 --> 02:31:18,721
about the scientific payloads and the

3400
02:31:21,560 --> 02:31:20,070
instrumentation well on our first

3401
02:31:23,871 --> 02:31:21,570
balloon we had a Geiger counter counting

3402
02:31:25,551 --> 02:31:23,881
alpha beta gamma particles we also had a

3403
02:31:28,791 --> 02:31:25,561
pointing payload to get stabilized

3404
02:31:30,531 --> 02:31:28,801
camera footage along the way we had some

3405
02:31:34,161 --> 02:31:30,541
hops from one of our local breweries and

3406
02:31:36,261 --> 02:31:34,171
then we on our second balloon we had a

3407
02:31:37,821 --> 02:31:36,271
live streaming payload so that was cool

3408
02:31:39,201 --> 02:31:37,831
that was probably our biggest project

3409
02:31:41,511 --> 02:31:39,211
thanks to Alabama Space Grant and

3410
02:31:42,531 --> 02:31:41,521
National Space Grant and so we were we

3411
02:31:43,551 --> 02:31:42,541
were really excited with all of our

3412
02:31:45,411 --> 02:31:43,561
experiments they went really well

3413
02:31:47,211 --> 02:31:45,421
excellent we're glad you came here to do

3414

3416
02:31:51,921 --> 02:31:50,551
Huntsville and so we also have another

3417
02:31:53,541 --> 02:31:51,931
student joining us from the Space Camp

3418
02:31:55,371 --> 02:31:53,551
US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville

3419
02:31:56,841 --> 02:31:55,381
Alabama tell our audience please your

3420
02:31:58,911 --> 02:31:56,851
name and I just said here West so we're

3421

telling please I'm Stephanie Bonnie

3422
02:32:02,571 --> 02:32:00,601
field I'm from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania

3423
02:32:04,100 --> 02:32:02,581
and you're with the space campers what

3424
02:32:06,081 --> 02:32:04,110
have they been doing all weekend long to

3425
02:32:08,091 --> 02:32:06,091
get prepared for this Eclipse well the

3426
02:32:10,190 --> 02:32:08,101
day before we left we did a whole bunch

3427
02:32:12,440 --> 02:32:10,200
of Eclipse stuff what we did cost is

3428
02:32:13,940 --> 02:32:12,450
about what the Eclipse is and like what

3429
02:32:15,230 --> 02:32:13,950
we'll experience and a lot of safety

3430
02:32:17,331 --> 02:32:15,240
stuff they didn't want anybody like

3431
02:32:19,461 --> 02:32:17,341
burning their retinas there anything so

3432
02:32:21,261 --> 02:32:19,471
we did a lot of bad we talked about what

3433
02:32:23,541 --> 02:32:21,271
experiments we'll be doing we set up the

3434
02:32:25,761 --> 02:32:23,551
shadow bin boxes that are over here that

3435
02:32:28,071 --> 02:32:25,771
are out of the shot but we recorded

3436
02:32:30,230 --> 02:32:28,081
hopefully some interesting data about

3437
02:32:31,640 --> 02:32:30,240
what was happening during totality so

3438
02:32:32,961 --> 02:32:31,650
that's pretty cool so you guys go back

3439
02:32:34,430 --> 02:32:32,971
and go over that data a little bit tell

3440
02:32:36,100 --> 02:32:34,440
us about the students where are they

3441
02:32:38,320 --> 02:32:36,110
from it's not just students from out

3442
02:32:40,600 --> 02:32:38,330
No yeah we have students from all over

3443
02:32:42,280 --> 02:32:40,610
the country and even all over the world

3444
02:32:44,051 --> 02:32:42,290
we have students just in my team who are

3445
02:32:46,211 --> 02:32:44,061
from like Spain we've got someone from

3446
02:32:47,620 --> 02:32:46,221
Norway all over the world it's crazy

3447
02:32:50,140 --> 02:32:47,630
there's a girl another group is from

3448
02:32:52,030 --> 02:32:50,150
Mexico and a boy from Mexico and they

3449
02:32:53,591 --> 02:32:52,040
were like talking to each other in New

3450
02:32:55,480 --> 02:32:53,601
Mexico Mexican I'm sorry

3451
02:32:57,251 --> 02:32:55,490
in Spanish the other day and that was

3452
02:32:59,140 --> 02:32:57,261
really neat just meeting other people

3453
02:33:01,120 --> 02:32:59,150
from other cultures so you really get a

3454
02:33:03,400 --> 02:33:01,130
neat experience at Camp absolutely

3455
02:33:05,051 --> 02:33:03,410
education is global and so lastly with

3456
02:33:07,751 --> 02:33:05,061
you give us your first reaction to

3457
02:33:11,110 --> 02:33:07,761
viewing the solar eclipse it's it's just

3458
02:33:13,150 --> 02:33:11,120
really crazy U is daylight here and I'm

3459
02:33:15,850 --> 02:33:13,160
Stanley before and then the Eclipse kind

3460
02:33:18,520 --> 02:33:15,860
of comes in slow and it's just like a

3461
02:33:20,320 --> 02:33:18,530
glowing ring in the sky it's incredible

3462
02:33:22,240 --> 02:33:20,330
it's it's so hard to explain and then

3463
02:33:24,041 --> 02:33:22,250
the lighting it's not like in dark like

3464
02:33:27,190 --> 02:33:24,051
at night it's like this kind of almost

3465
02:33:29,950 --> 02:33:27,200
eerie sort of ambient lighting and

3466
02:33:31,990 --> 02:33:29,960
there's sunset everywhere and then after

3467
02:33:33,730 --> 02:33:32,000
totality look right after it was like

3468
02:33:35,410 --> 02:33:33,740
somebody turned daylight back on the

3469
02:33:36,970 --> 02:33:35,420
moon just moves away and it's light

3470
02:33:39,041 --> 02:33:36,980
again it's really awesome

3471
02:33:40,450 --> 02:33:39,051
no absolutely exactly what happened so

3472
02:33:40,720 --> 02:33:40,460
thanks we appreciate your time thanks a

3473
02:33:42,160 --> 02:33:40,730

maryland and tell us a little bit about

3480
02:33:53,770 --> 02:33:52,311
the science experiments and research you

3481
02:33:55,570 --> 02:33:53,780
were working on while you were here I

3482
02:33:56,950 --> 02:33:55,580
was working with the balloons and I was

3483
02:33:59,440 --> 02:33:56,960
also working with the shadow bands in

3484
02:34:01,751 --> 02:33:59,450
the ham radio alright and how about your

3485
02:34:03,310 --> 02:34:01,761
first reaction to the solar eclipse it

3486
02:34:05,140 --> 02:34:03,320
was just amazing when I saw the Sun and

3487
02:34:06,430 --> 02:34:05,150
go away and it was it almost went pitch

3488
02:34:08,320 --> 02:34:06,440
black and I just looked up and it was

3489
02:34:10,331 --> 02:34:08,330
just a ring around the Sun and it was it

3490
02:34:12,730 --> 02:34:10,341
was amazing I have to say I appreciate

3491
02:34:14,470 --> 02:34:12,740

here at Austin Peay State University and

3493
02:34:18,011 --> 02:34:16,070
NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center

3494
02:34:20,171 --> 02:34:18,021
thanks for letting us to be a small part

3495
02:34:21,850 --> 02:34:20,181
of this wonderful event right now let's

3496
02:34:24,700 --> 02:34:21,860
go back live for continuing coverage of

3497
02:34:26,261 --> 02:34:24,710
this eclipse from Charleston thank you

3498
02:34:28,331 --> 02:34:26,271
thank you we are having a great time

3499
02:34:30,341 --> 02:34:28,341
here at the College of Charleston but

3500
02:34:31,841 --> 02:34:30,351
we've got more images coming here and

3501
02:34:34,030 --> 02:34:31,851
the International Space Station later

3502
02:34:36,910 --> 02:34:34,040
let's get some images coming in from the

3503
02:34:42,750 --> 02:34:36,920
Great Smoky Mountains one of the largest

3504
02:34:51,160 --> 02:34:48,370
[Applause]

3505
02:34:51,790 --> 02:34:51,170
Alex what is that what that's well it's

3506
02:34:53,590 --> 02:34:51,800
awesome

3507
02:34:56,700 --> 02:34:53,600
we're looking at the Sun that's still

3508
02:34:59,080 --> 02:34:56,710
too bright tonight but it's almost

3509
02:35:02,109 --> 02:34:59,090
completely covered it's getting dimmer

3510
02:35:04,450 --> 02:35:02,119
and dimmer and this is the unfiltered

3511
02:35:07,330 --> 02:35:04,460
sign so we're gonna go straight from

3512
02:35:10,979 --> 02:35:07,340
this to assigning the corona directly

3513
02:35:16,210 --> 02:35:14,439
dimmer still got to have your glasses on

3514
02:35:19,719 --> 02:35:16,220
it's still too bright to look at

3515
02:35:22,510 --> 02:35:19,729
directly but it's just almost like a

3516
02:35:24,280 --> 02:35:22,520
little tiny Christmas star or something

3517
02:35:26,920 --> 02:35:24,290
it's crazy that's getting tiny and

3518
02:35:28,630 --> 02:35:26,930
tinier now why was it in the shape of a

3519
02:35:30,700 --> 02:35:28,640
star that's the first one I've seen

3520
02:35:33,460 --> 02:35:30,710
that's thinking oh there it is I can see

3521
02:35:35,439 --> 02:35:33,470
the car because the camera and satellite

3522
02:35:37,120 --> 02:35:35,449
didn't have a filter on it was too

3523
02:35:39,309 --> 02:35:37,130
difficult to see but we can see the

3524
02:35:41,740 --> 02:35:39,319
corona there's now a little black dot

3525
02:35:43,450 --> 02:35:41,750
and you can see the Crone around it and

3526
02:35:45,729 --> 02:35:43,460
that's actually the closest to what

3527
02:35:48,820 --> 02:35:45,739
we're gonna see when we look at it with

3528
02:35:50,679 --> 02:35:48,830
our own eyes when we view it here Jon

3529
02:35:53,439 --> 02:35:50,689
you God let's go to Sochi oh man they

3530
02:35:53,769 --> 02:35:53,449
got to be buzzin on the conversation

3531
02:35:57,550 --> 02:35:53,779
here

3532
02:35:59,830 --> 02:35:57,560
in and of course the trending it's

3533
02:36:02,349 --> 02:35:59,840
trending all over social media let's up

3534
02:36:04,719 --> 02:36:02,359
pull up this image right here on the

3535
02:36:06,340 --> 02:36:04,729
side bar if possible this right here is

3536
02:36:09,099 --> 02:36:06,350
just what if one of our users did of the

3537
02:36:12,639 --> 02:36:09,109
Eclipse from Arlington Texas pretty

3538
02:36:14,469 --> 02:36:12,649
freaking cool showing he showing the

3539
02:36:16,210 --> 02:36:14,479
partial clips on his hand really and

3540
02:36:18,370 --> 02:36:16,220
interesting and then we have the Toshiba

3541
02:36:20,260 --> 02:36:18,380
screen a New York City were of course

3542
02:36:22,450 --> 02:36:20,270
everyone there in Times Square is able

3543
02:36:25,420 --> 02:36:22,460
to see the partial eclipse so it's a

3544
02:36:26,920 --> 02:36:25,430
pretty spectacular views coming in and

3545
02:36:28,359 --> 02:36:26,930
we do have a few questions I'd like to

3546
02:36:30,010 --> 02:36:28,369
just try to get a couple in is it okay

3547
02:36:31,660 --> 02:36:30,020
to do us to see a solar eclipse in

3548
02:36:33,370 --> 02:36:31,670
selfie mode I see a lot of people there

3549
02:36:35,679 --> 02:36:33,380
students out here and students like to

3550
02:36:37,929 --> 02:36:35,689
take selfies is that without classes is

3551
02:36:39,460 --> 02:36:37,939
that okay to do actually it is if the

3552
02:36:41,530 --> 02:36:39,470
sun's especially behind you because if

3553
02:36:43,330 --> 02:36:41,540
you're looking down the sun's behind you

3554
02:36:45,309 --> 02:36:43,340
and you've got in selfie mode that

3555
02:36:46,990 --> 02:36:45,319
actually will protect your eyes again

3556
02:36:49,059 --> 02:36:47,000
the main thing is you do not want to

3557
02:36:52,059 --> 02:36:49,069
have it pointed directly at the Sun so

3558
02:36:55,809 --> 02:36:52,069
that you might move away and see it with

3559
02:36:59,289 --> 02:36:55,819
your unprotected eyes yeah

3560
02:37:02,079 --> 02:36:59,299
so let me use this opportunity to talk

3561
02:37:03,699 --> 02:37:02,089
about safety reminders to about just

3562
02:37:06,069 --> 02:37:03,709
making sure or like you just said it's

3563
02:37:08,709 --> 02:37:06,079
the overall view you know if you're in

3564
02:37:10,569 --> 02:37:08,719
the partial solar eclipse make sure that

3565
02:37:13,479 --> 02:37:10,579
you always have your glasses on to look

3566
02:37:14,979 --> 02:37:13,489
at the Sun the only time that is safe to

3567
02:37:17,019 --> 02:37:14,989
take off the glasses when you're all

3568
02:37:19,239 --> 02:37:17,029
completely like the moon completely

3569
02:37:21,879 --> 02:37:19,249
floss the surface of the Sun in totality

3570
02:37:24,369 --> 02:37:21,889
as soon as you see that diamond Ravine

3571
02:37:26,289 --> 02:37:24,379
effect that's the that's the timing to

3572
02:37:28,949 --> 02:37:26,299
actually put back your glasses to look

3573
02:37:31,329 --> 02:37:28,959
back at that amazing amazing event and

3574
02:37:33,489 --> 02:37:31,339
John let's get one more social question

3575
02:37:34,749 --> 02:37:33,499
before we go to the next phase here

3576
02:37:36,939 --> 02:37:34,759
we're just having too much fun here

3577
02:37:39,369 --> 02:37:36,949
starting a cold dark year to at Carlson

3578
02:37:41,079 --> 02:37:39,379
just this is I think that's pretty

3579
02:37:42,789 --> 02:37:41,089
obvious file this outside right here but

3580
02:37:43,809 --> 02:37:42,799
it's just safe to be outside during the

3581
02:37:45,999 --> 02:37:43,819
clips as long as you don't look directly

3582
02:37:48,039 --> 02:37:46,009
at the Sun absolutely there's nothing

3583
02:37:51,159 --> 02:37:48,049
different we are just having less

3584
02:37:53,169 --> 02:37:51,169
sunlight shining down on us but there's

3585
02:37:55,089 --> 02:37:53,179
no real difference and there it's

3586
02:37:57,159 --> 02:37:55,099
absolutely safe to be outside and we of

3587
02:37:59,409 --> 02:37:57,169
course as long as you're safe encourage

3588
02:38:04,119 --> 02:37:59,419
that yeah we go outside and watch this

3589
02:38:06,489 --> 02:38:04,129
event okay all right here we go so let's

3590
02:38:08,919 --> 02:38:06,499
talk about exoplanets the solar eclipse

3591
02:38:11,889 --> 02:38:08,929
is a special kind of transit or movement

3592
02:38:13,749 --> 02:38:11,899
of astronomical body that passes in

3593
02:38:15,969 --> 02:38:13,759
front of another and if you've been

3594
02:38:18,279 --> 02:38:15,979
watching along with us you know NASA is

3595
02:38:20,799 --> 02:38:18,289
using today's transit to further study

3596
02:38:22,959 --> 02:38:20,809
the Sun we use similar transits to study

3597
02:38:25,539 --> 02:38:22,969
planets outside of our solar system

3598
02:38:32,829 --> 02:38:25,549
or as I say it exoplanets as they pass

3599
02:38:34,479 --> 02:38:32,839
in front of the distant star while a

3600
02:38:36,609 --> 02:38:34,489
total solar eclipse is a rare

3601
02:38:39,249 --> 02:38:36,619
opportunity to learn more about our Sun

3602
02:38:41,499 --> 02:38:39,259
NASA's Kepler mission has been studying

3603
02:38:44,859 --> 02:38:41,509
distant stars for an eclipse like event

3604
02:38:47,139 --> 02:38:44,869
called a planetary transit using a

3605
02:38:49,209 --> 02:38:47,149
space-based telescope scientists from

3606
02:38:50,709 --> 02:38:49,219
Ames Research Center have been measuring

3607
02:38:53,589 --> 02:38:50,719
the changes in the brightness of stars

3608
02:38:56,109 --> 02:38:53,599
as their planets orbit or transit in

3609
02:38:58,959 --> 02:38:56,119
front of them Kepler has confirmed more

3610
02:39:01,569 --> 02:38:58,969
than 2500 exoplanets or planets beyond

3611
02:39:03,479 --> 02:39:01,579
our solar system many of these are

3612
02:39:06,389 --> 02:39:03,489
similar to earth in size

3613
02:39:08,880 --> 02:39:06,399
distance from their son studies using

3614
02:39:11,550 --> 02:39:08,890
Kepler data have revealed a vast range

3615
02:39:13,739 --> 02:39:11,560
of planet types and sizes and future

3616
02:39:16,829 --> 02:39:13,749
discoveries could help enable the search

3617
02:39:19,499 --> 02:39:16,839
for life in the galaxy another major

3618
02:39:22,079 --> 02:39:19,509
effort at NASA aims to use eclipses to

3619
02:39:24,929 --> 02:39:22,089
study stars in deep space is called

3620
02:39:28,949 --> 02:39:24,939
Sofia or the stratospheric Observatory

3621
02:39:32,130 --> 02:39:28,959
for infrared astronomy Sofia is a

3622
02:39:34,229 --> 02:39:32,140
modified Boeing 747sp aircraft that

3623
02:39:36,359 --> 02:39:34,239
makes celestial observations in the

3624
02:39:40,679 --> 02:39:36,369
infrared part of the electromagnetic

3625
02:39:43,380 --> 02:39:40,689
spectrum flying up to 45,000 feet Sofia

3626
02:39:46,109 --> 02:39:43,390
operates above 99% of the Earth's water

3627
02:39:49,199 --> 02:39:46,119
vapor that absorbs most of the infrared

3628
02:39:50,789 --> 02:39:49,209
light from space one example of Sofia's

3629
02:39:53,249 --> 02:39:50,799
unique qualities as an airborne

3630
02:39:56,039 --> 02:39:53,259
Observatory occurred when researchers

3631
02:39:59,489 --> 02:39:56,049
recorded infrared imagery of Pluto as it

3632
02:40:01,829 --> 02:39:59,499
eclipsed a distant star what we learned

3633
02:40:04,260 --> 02:40:01,839
from missions like Kepler and Sofia

3634
02:40:07,769 --> 02:40:04,270
could help us to better understand the

3635
02:40:09,190 --> 02:40:07,779
mysteries of our Sun our galaxy and our

3636
02:40:17,469 --> 02:40:09,200
place within it

3637
02:40:21,770 --> 02:40:20,090
all right thank you we're here live at

3638
02:40:25,060 --> 02:40:21,780
the College of Charleston in Charleston

3639
02:40:27,530 --> 02:40:25,070
South Carolina it is just about time for

3640
02:40:30,139 --> 02:40:27,540
totality and I'm here with my colleagues

3641
02:40:32,719 --> 02:40:30,149
Dwayne brown and John Young brick and

3642
02:40:36,200 --> 02:40:32,729
Jody is somewhere I believe called abaga

3643
02:40:38,660 --> 02:40:36,210
and Alex young and you can see the crowd

3644
02:40:40,820 --> 02:40:38,670
behind us and if you look up in the sky

3645
02:40:43,610 --> 02:40:40,830
which I was doing just before we came

3646
02:40:46,460 --> 02:40:43,620
back here live we are probably at about

3647
02:40:48,410 --> 02:40:46,470
90 percent totality and the good news

3648
02:40:50,300 --> 02:40:48,420
from the weather standpoint is there is

3649
02:40:53,360 --> 02:40:50,310
some there are some clouds but I see

3650
02:40:55,630 --> 02:40:53,370
some breaks in them just off to the

3651
02:40:58,190 --> 02:40:55,640
South a little bit and fingers crossed

3652
02:41:00,230 --> 02:40:58,200
really really tight that those breaks

3653
02:41:02,510 --> 02:41:00,240
are going to move over as we get into

3654
02:41:03,860 --> 02:41:02,520
totality in just a few minutes

3655
02:41:05,179 --> 02:41:03,870
Duane what do you have to say about that

3656
02:41:08,719 --> 02:41:05,189
well first of all I want to thank you

02:41:15,080 --> 02:41:13,649
we've got our glasses we've got we got

3660
02:41:17,150 --> 02:41:15,090
our signs and Johnny come on come on get

3661
02:41:18,950 --> 02:41:17,160
in here now Alex yeah so we're excited

3662

here the collagen make some more noise

3663
02:41:29,400 --> 02:41:26,520
we are having a ball here this still

3664
02:41:30,120 --> 02:41:29,410
still a lot more here through the eyes

3665
02:41:31,381 --> 02:41:30,130
of NASA

3666
02:41:33,390 --> 02:41:31,391
we got the International Space Station

3667
02:41:36,380 --> 02:41:33,400
come on you don't want to miss it but

3668
02:41:41,490 --> 02:41:36,390
here we go here safety glasses on again

3669
02:41:52,520 --> 02:41:47,831
[Music]

3670
02:41:54,230 --> 02:41:52,530
let's get in there yeah boy so got maybe

3671
02:42:01,520 --> 02:41:54,240
a few more minutes to go till totality

3672
02:42:08,030 --> 02:42:01,530
but you can see look at that you can see

3673
02:42:28,550 --> 02:42:10,429
job - you know even with the clouds we

3674
02:42:34,740 --> 02:42:30,030
[Applause]

3675
02:42:51,400 --> 02:42:41,890
you guys see it alright I think we got

3676
02:43:01,590 --> 02:42:51,410
some break-ins and clouds I can see guys

3677
02:43:01,600 --> 02:43:05,140
through the eyes of NASA

3678
02:43:29,719 --> 02:43:17,600
[Applause]

3679
02:43:34,559 --> 02:43:32,340
College of towson is getting a large

3680
02:43:48,510 --> 02:43:34,569
selfie with the students and faculty and

3681
02:43:49,649 --> 02:43:48,520
everyone here doing half minutes Twain

3682
02:43:53,010 --> 02:43:49,659
you've actually seen a total eclipse

3683
02:43:56,700 --> 02:43:53,020
before I have it's amazing and it's

3684
02:43:58,740 --> 02:43:56,710
spiritual and it really brings you in

3685
02:44:02,099 --> 02:43:58,750
step with that with just a small pebble

3686
02:44:04,080 --> 02:44:02,109
with a highway of galactic exactly in

3687
02:44:05,780 --> 02:44:04,090
Elizabeth it does this just viewing this

3688
02:44:08,790 --> 02:44:05,790
right now bring you back to that moment

3689
02:44:11,729 --> 02:44:08,800
several years ago it's a little

3690
02:44:16,109 --> 02:44:11,739
different because I'm here on American

3691
02:44:21,350 --> 02:44:16,119
soil with you guys here but it's still

3692
02:44:31,869 --> 02:44:22,810
[Music]

3693
02:44:36,429 --> 02:44:33,849
you know so I haven't seen it in Africa

3694
02:44:37,329 --> 02:44:36,439
and here in the US then getting better

3695
02:44:43,140 --> 02:44:37,339
than that my friend

3696
02:44:43,480 --> 02:44:43,150
no there we go almost here we go

daddy whooping today you know it's hard

3700
02:44:59,900 --> 02:44:58,310
to tell I think I was just gonna find

3701
02:45:10,150 --> 02:44:59,910
cover

3702
02:45:11,650 --> 02:45:10,160

too which is nice the temperature has

3706

yourself Dewayne this is amazing that's

3739
02:51:01,711 --> 02:51:00,311
the only word to really describe it you

3740
02:51:03,360 --> 02:51:01,721
know even though we had the clouds and

3741
02:51:05,430 --> 02:51:03,370
it was just an incredible experience we

3742
02:51:07,440 --> 02:51:05,440
got to experience the darkness we got to

3743
02:51:09,180 --> 02:51:07,450
experience the temperature drop we got

3744
02:51:10,950 --> 02:51:09,190
to see it in you know it kind of moving

3745
02:51:12,570 --> 02:51:10,960
in and out between the clouds but most

3746
02:51:15,180 --> 02:51:12,580
importantly we got to experience the

3747
02:51:17,540 --> 02:51:15,190
energy and the enthusiasm that we feel

3748
02:51:19,770 --> 02:51:17,550
all around us here today well you know

3749
02:51:22,261 --> 02:51:19,780
this team in the city of Charleston

3750
02:51:24,450 --> 02:51:22,271
thank you we had some if you weather but

3751
02:51:27,660 --> 02:51:24,460
you made it happen yeah well thank you

3752
02:51:28,770 --> 02:51:27,670
and yeah and you know you don't know the

3753
02:51:30,900 --> 02:51:28,780
half of actually I've been also

3754
02:51:33,150 --> 02:51:30,910
monitoring for a possible thunderstorms

3755
02:51:34,470 --> 02:51:33,160
which we are having we've been having

3756
02:51:36,660 --> 02:51:34,480
just up to the north in places like

3757
02:51:38,551 --> 02:51:36,670
North Charleston Goose Creek luckily

3758
02:51:40,770 --> 02:51:38,561
because of a sea breeze pushing the the

3759
02:51:42,001 --> 02:51:40,780
moisture that's been bringing allowing

3760
02:51:43,860 --> 02:51:42,011
these clouds to develop moisture coming

3761
02:51:46,200 --> 02:51:43,870
in from the Atlantic that sea breeze has

3762
02:51:48,030 --> 02:51:46,210
been pushing those thunderstorms inshore

3763
02:51:49,620 --> 02:51:48,040
inland a little bit so even though we

3764
02:51:51,690 --> 02:51:49,630
still have some cloud cover here we have

3765
02:51:53,040 --> 02:51:51,700
been very lucky not to have any rain or

3766
02:51:54,690 --> 02:51:53,050
thunderstorms like we had yesterday at

3767
02:52:00,091 --> 02:51:54,700
this time you are really a true

3768
02:52:02,490 --> 02:52:00,101
meteorologist my friend hey okay

3771
02:52:09,060 --> 02:52:07,021
said even though that we couldn't see it

3772
02:52:10,740 --> 02:52:09,070
considered the solar core now which you

3773
02:52:12,930 --> 02:52:10,750
know it's what I really really wanted to

3774
02:52:14,940 --> 02:52:12,940
see we experience you know the darkness

3775
02:52:17,070 --> 02:52:14,950
and the change in temperature and also I

3776
02:52:18,961 --> 02:52:17,080
mean the energy of the students you know

3777
02:52:21,301 --> 02:52:18,971
we even started hugging up because we

3778
02:52:23,700 --> 02:52:21,311
were like so excited I mean it has been

3779
02:52:28,520 --> 02:52:23,710
an amazing experience so the next one

3780

02:52:36,180 --> 02:52:33,880
fantastic and it was also a big tease

02:52:38,881 --> 02:52:36,190
for the next one cuz man I want to do

3784
02:52:41,520 --> 02:52:38,891
this again this was I could feel that

3785
02:52:43,860 --> 02:52:41,530
shadow overhead I could see the light

3786
02:52:45,900 --> 02:52:43,870
and the horizon all the way around

3787
02:52:47,700 --> 02:52:45,910
feeling the change the temperatures even

3788
02:52:50,551 --> 02:52:47,710
seed the clouds themselves moving

3789
02:52:54,060 --> 02:52:50,561
differently as that shadow hit overhead

3790
02:52:56,490 --> 02:52:54,070
it was fantastic it was palpable man

3791
02:52:59,220 --> 02:52:56,500
and just feel the energy around here and

3792

3798
02:53:12,870 --> 02:53:10,450
actually if you're watching at home some

3799
02:53:14,580 --> 02:53:12,880
of our streams actually went down only

3800
02:53:16,261 --> 02:53:14,590
because the fact that you know we there

3801
02:53:17,131 --> 02:53:16,271
was just so much traffic on it of course

3802
02:53:19,410 --> 02:53:17,141
we were playing we were broadcasting

3803
02:53:20,791 --> 02:53:19,420

David kenty just some spectacular images

3813
02:53:45,660 --> 02:53:43,960
coming in from all over you know people

3814
02:53:49,020 --> 02:53:45,670

3815
02:53:51,330 --> 02:53:49,030
hashtags out there clips 2017 which is

3816
02:53:53,120 --> 02:53:51,340
our hashtag solar eclipse 2017 which is

3817
02:53:55,291 --> 02:53:53,130
trending on on Twitter and other places

3818
02:53:56,881 --> 02:53:55,301
and of course we're reading a lot of

3819
02:53:59,341 --> 02:53:56,891
stuff coming into we're seeing and

3820
02:54:02,370 --> 02:53:59,351
reading your reactions some of it is

3821
02:54:04,171 --> 02:54:02,380
just really shows the amount of how it

3822
02:54:06,780 --> 02:54:04,181
really impacts people and us being here

3823
02:54:08,310 --> 02:54:06,790
at Charleston we also saw get really

3824
02:54:09,810 --> 02:54:08,320
dark here get cool breeze coming through

3825
02:54:11,580 --> 02:54:09,820
and even though there were some clouds

3826
02:54:13,530 --> 02:54:11,590
it was like nothing we've really ever

3827
02:54:14,910 --> 02:54:13,540
experienced before and so for those of

3828
02:54:16,171 --> 02:54:14,920
you who are in the path of totality I

3829
02:54:18,270 --> 02:54:16,181
hope the views we're showing you here

3830
02:54:19,410 --> 02:54:18,280
today it really helped you kind of get

3831
02:54:22,980 --> 02:54:19,420
the sensation of what we're trying to

3832
02:54:26,910 --> 02:54:22,990
show and here's a lat this last one here

3833
02:54:30,120 --> 02:54:26,920
is a 99.5 new totality nerds here in

3834
02:54:33,660 --> 02:54:30,130
Boise Idaho checking it out one of our

3835
02:54:35,940 --> 02:54:33,670
one of our photos there everyone was

3836
02:54:37,171 --> 02:54:35,950
wearing Eclipse glasses and it's a you

3837
02:54:38,850 --> 02:54:37,181
know we're still have a partial eclipse

3838
02:54:42,060 --> 02:54:38,860
on the East Coast people are still

3839
02:54:44,580 --> 02:54:42,070
seeing the Sun transit and so we're it's

3840
02:54:47,160 --> 02:54:44,590
an exciting time here I think that I

3841
02:54:51,091 --> 02:54:47,170
think we have a another view here from

3842
02:54:53,400 --> 02:54:51,101
Bailey beads seen from Oregon from one

3843
02:54:54,870 --> 02:54:53,410
of our photographers this is a NASA

3844
02:54:57,051 --> 02:54:54,880
photographer took this show the shot

3845
02:55:00,240 --> 02:54:57,061
right here I think that's just before

3846
02:55:03,421 --> 02:55:00,250
the diamond ring pops up and it's pretty

3847
02:55:04,560 --> 02:55:03,431
pretty spectacular shot so I think if

3848
02:55:07,110 --> 02:55:04,570
we're ready to get going again I think

3849
02:55:08,010 --> 02:55:07,120
we have a quick question would like to

3850
02:55:09,300 --> 02:55:08,020
take look

3851
02:55:10,229 --> 02:55:09,310
some of these here there are a lot of

3852
02:55:12,269 --> 02:55:10,239
these are questions coming in from

3853
02:55:17,189 --> 02:55:12,279
Eclipse viewing now the eclipse is

3854
02:55:18,599 --> 02:55:17,199
officially over I see that what were you

3855
02:55:20,309 --> 02:55:18,609
guys what were your reactions as you

3856
02:55:22,080 --> 02:55:20,319
were as you're watching it I know I know

3857
02:55:23,550 --> 02:55:22,090
we were out there and stuff but now that

3858
02:55:26,210 --> 02:55:23,560
it's over how it's the the sensation

3859
02:55:27,689 --> 02:55:26,220
that having the totality behind you I

3860
02:55:29,399 --> 02:55:27,699
got goose bumps

3861
02:55:31,710 --> 02:55:29,409
this is my first total solar eclipse

3862
02:55:33,779 --> 02:55:31,720
it-- I actually remember watching you

3863
02:55:36,269 --> 02:55:33,789
know a partial solar eclipse it back at

3864
02:55:39,240 --> 02:55:36,279
home in Puerto Rico and I mean this is

3865
02:55:41,399 --> 02:55:39,250
was amazing you know that like I said

3866
02:55:43,950 --> 02:55:41,409
the total the darkness that was around

3867
02:55:47,340 --> 02:55:43,960
us it was amazing being you know knowing

3868
02:55:49,410 --> 02:55:47,350
that is day I was just sort of amazed by

3869
02:55:51,389 --> 02:55:49,420
the kind of rush of how quickly it all

3870
02:55:53,790 --> 02:55:51,399
of a sudden happened the darkness and

3871
02:55:57,179 --> 02:55:53,800
then I could just feel it all around me

3872
02:56:00,389 --> 02:55:57,189
it was really really powerful well I'm

3873
02:56:02,340 --> 02:56:00,399
glad it's really cool yeah yeah I'm glad

3874
02:56:04,439 --> 02:56:02,350
schooldays cool because it was hot it

3875
02:56:08,099 --> 02:56:04,449
was hot it was very hot but the weather

3876
02:56:09,960 --> 02:56:08,109
I mean it's amazing and as we said

3877
02:56:12,120 --> 02:56:09,970
earlier in the show and when we watched

3878
02:56:15,090 --> 02:56:12,130
it this is my second one but sharing it

3879
02:56:17,729 --> 02:56:15,100
with you guys I mean this is very very

3880
02:56:19,710 --> 02:56:17,739
cool and memorable and seven years is

3881
02:56:23,099 --> 02:56:19,720
another one seven years in the US but

3882
02:56:24,090 --> 02:56:23,109
we've got one in 2019 in South America I

3883
02:56:25,609 --> 02:56:24,100
think I had FINA

3884
02:56:29,939 --> 02:56:25,619
so we'll stop making reservations

3885
02:56:35,250 --> 02:56:29,949
already so this is certainly certainly

3886
02:56:35,870 --> 02:56:35,260
one for the history books but we're not

3887
02:56:39,210 --> 02:56:35,880
done yet

3888
02:56:42,059 --> 02:56:39,220
the solar eclipse is traveling over the

3889
02:56:44,910 --> 02:56:42,069
Atlantic Ocean so Alex let me turn to

3890
02:56:49,830 --> 02:56:44,920
you how far is it gonna go out to those

3891
02:56:53,460 --> 02:56:49,840
it so I got another 3,700 miles roughly

3892
02:56:56,639 --> 02:56:53,470
to travel it's gonna end just off the

3893
02:57:00,540 --> 02:56:56,649
coast of Africa near Sierra Leone in

3894
02:57:03,000 --> 02:57:00,550
that area but that's also where night in

3895
02:57:05,580 --> 02:57:03,010
where night begins day is the night

3896
02:57:07,830 --> 02:57:05,590
begins so we got our waste to go there's

3897
02:57:09,300 --> 02:57:07,840
still some more left and maybe if you're

3898
02:57:11,010 --> 02:57:09,310
out on a ship you're gonna get to see

3899
02:57:13,690 --> 02:57:11,020
some more of it too yeah we have the

3900
02:57:16,750 --> 02:57:13,700
coast start guard five miles from

3901
02:57:19,450 --> 02:57:16,760
Elston oh that sounds pretty good well

3902
02:57:22,390 --> 02:57:19,460
you know what I've been talking about

3903
02:57:23,740 --> 02:57:22,400
this you if you just tuned in this is

3904
02:57:26,171 --> 02:57:23,750
national television through the eyes of

3905
02:57:29,560 --> 02:57:26,181
NASA we have been bringing you unique

3906
02:57:31,511 --> 02:57:29,570
images reaction from all over the

3907
02:57:34,240 --> 02:57:31,521
country but now in 30 minutes we'll be

3908
02:57:36,370 --> 02:57:34,250
bringing you a view from one place no

3909
02:57:38,080 --> 02:57:36,380
one else can go the International Space

3910
02:57:39,700 --> 02:57:38,090
Station will check in with the

3911
02:57:42,881 --> 02:57:39,710
astronauts aboard to see how they

3912
02:57:44,530 --> 02:57:42,891
experience its lift from space here in

3913
02:57:46,870 --> 02:57:44,540
Charleston we will continue to see a

3914
02:57:48,610 --> 02:57:46,880
partial solar eclipse rolling about 90

3915
02:57:52,480 --> 02:57:48,620
minutes or so and remember to continue

3916
02:57:55,060 --> 02:57:52,490
to use safe wearing viewing glasses

3917
02:57:57,610 --> 02:57:55,070
methods and everything in between safety

3918
02:58:00,310 --> 02:57:57,620
safety safety now we're going to my

3919
02:58:02,320 --> 02:58:00,320
colleague Karen Fox hey Karen who's out

3920
02:58:15,610 --> 02:58:02,330
in the field getting more reaction this

3921
02:58:17,770 --> 02:58:15,620
year we're gonna ask a few questions for

3922
02:58:19,450 --> 02:58:17,780
the people who were here when you step

3923
02:58:22,060 --> 02:58:19,460
over in your young man tell me your name

3924
02:58:24,520 --> 02:58:22,070
my name is Josh Petro and what year you

3925
02:58:26,470 --> 02:58:24,530
I'm actually a second year here so you

3926
02:58:28,180 --> 02:58:26,480
did you come to Charleston college the

3927
02:58:29,381 --> 02:58:28,190
College of Charleston just to see this

3928
02:58:31,720 --> 02:58:29,391
Eclipse like is that why you chose to

3929
02:58:34,390 --> 02:58:31,730
matriculate here oh absolutely

3930
02:58:37,150 --> 02:58:34,400
no no to be honest I I love this school

3931
02:58:39,070 --> 02:58:37,160
and the Eclipse I'll be I've been

3932
02:58:40,600 --> 02:58:39,080
studying in the sky since I was probably

3933
02:58:42,580 --> 02:58:40,610
nine since I could read I'd take out

3934
02:58:45,131 --> 02:58:42,590
astronomy books so this is just

3935
02:58:46,660 --> 02:58:45,141
once-in-a-lifetime honestly it's amazing

3936
02:58:48,220 --> 02:58:46,670
so tell me about it what did you

3937
02:58:49,470 --> 02:58:48,230
experience when you watch the Eclipse

3938
02:58:51,970 --> 02:58:49,480
what'd it feel like for you

3939
02:58:53,830 --> 02:58:51,980
it was just like wow this is this is

3940
02:58:56,381 --> 02:58:53,840
what you've read in books this is the

3941
02:58:57,430 --> 02:58:56,391
kind of thing that you think wow if that

3942
02:59:01,631 --> 02:58:57,440
happened to me I don't even know what

3943
02:59:02,591 --> 02:59:01,641
I'd do and it happened it's fantastic

3944
02:59:04,540 --> 02:59:02,601
yourself one more question you said

3945
02:59:06,310 --> 02:59:04,550
you've been studying space since you

3946
02:59:08,620 --> 02:59:06,320
were young what are you majoring in now

3947
02:59:10,631 --> 02:59:08,630
or are you studying science actually the

3948
02:59:13,390 --> 02:59:10,641
plan was to do a double major of

3949
02:59:14,620 --> 02:59:13,400
astronomy and physics and hopefully

3950
02:59:16,570 --> 02:59:14,630
maybe do some of that work myself one

3951
02:59:19,690 --> 02:59:16,580
day awesome come work from an outside

3952
02:59:21,881 --> 02:59:19,700
well look for you thank you so much all

3953
02:59:26,600 --> 02:59:21,891
right let's find somebody else you want

3954
02:59:30,890 --> 02:59:28,730
my name is Amanda Annie I'm a rising

3955
02:59:33,080 --> 02:59:30,900
junior in the Honors College at CFC I'm

3956
02:59:34,700 --> 02:59:33,090
sorry now you didn't ask that but I was

3957
02:59:36,050 --> 02:59:34,710
going to that was exactly what I was

3958
02:59:37,970 --> 02:59:36,060
gonna ask you're like you're like a mind

3959
02:59:41,360 --> 02:59:37,980
reader do you know what my next question

3960
02:59:46,580 --> 02:59:41,370
is gonna be it was amazing I felt a

3961
02:59:47,660 --> 02:59:46,590
total unity with the world I did that is

3962
02:59:49,430 --> 02:59:47,670
fantastic

3963
02:59:52,220 --> 02:59:49,440
so I have a question what are you gonna

3964
02:59:54,050 --> 02:59:52,230
do with your Eclipse glasses now I think

3965
02:59:55,850 --> 02:59:54,060
maybe it's a souvenir for my

3966
03:00:00,200 --> 02:59:55,860
grandchildren I think I think that's

3967
03:00:02,540 --> 03:00:00,210
where you're gonna be like let me tell

3968
03:00:08,920 --> 03:00:02,550
you kids this is where I was on August

3969
03:00:11,750 --> 03:00:08,930
21st 2017 she summed it up pretty well

3970
03:00:13,880 --> 03:00:11,760
fantastic thank you so much we are going

3971
03:00:16,550 --> 03:00:13,890
to go back to Dwane Brown and we'll be

3972
03:00:18,470 --> 03:00:16,560
back later with more conversations from

3973
03:00:20,480 --> 03:00:18,480
the College thanks Karen it's always

3974
03:00:22,610 --> 03:00:20,490
good to see these the young and those I

3975
03:00:24,560 --> 03:00:22,620
see some inspiring scientist out there

3976
03:00:26,360 --> 03:00:24,570
now let's take a look at the highlights

3977
03:00:27,920 --> 03:00:26,370
from today's events and when we return

3978
03:00:38,170 --> 03:00:27,930
we'll learn more about how the

3979
03:01:31,671 --> 03:00:59,590
[Music]

3980
03:01:36,600 --> 03:01:34,770
okay through thousands of NASA only here

3981
03:01:38,781 --> 03:01:36,610
are we bringing you the International

3982
03:01:42,390 --> 03:01:38,791
Space Station live it's traveling at

3983
03:01:45,390 --> 03:01:42,400
17,500 miles per hour as it orbits earth

3984
03:01:47,551 --> 03:01:45,400
now from NASA's Johnson Space Center we

3985
03:01:57,661 --> 03:01:47,561
have Rob Davis in Mission Control Rob

3986
03:02:00,571 --> 03:01:57,671
over to you and welcome to Mission

3987
03:02:02,190 --> 03:02:00,581
Control here in Houston about 40 minutes

3988
03:02:04,621 --> 03:02:02,200
ago the six residents of the

3989
03:02:07,321 --> 03:02:04,631
International Space Station flew over

3990
03:02:10,591 --> 03:02:07,331
southern Canada south of Hudson Bay at

3991
03:02:13,081 --> 03:02:10,601
an altitude of 252 statute miles with a

3992
03:02:15,571 --> 03:02:13,091
very very unique view of today's solar

3993
03:02:17,821 --> 03:02:15,581
eclipse we're gonna be talking with the

3994
03:02:19,980 --> 03:02:17,831
crew in about 18 minutes from now and

3995
03:02:23,161 --> 03:02:19,990
sharing some of that very very unique

3996
03:02:25,531 --> 03:02:23,171
video with you it was spectacular I must

3997
03:02:27,270 --> 03:02:25,541
tell you and digital still imagery that

3998
03:02:29,461 --> 03:02:27,280
Randy Bresnik has captured throughout

3999
03:02:32,220 --> 03:02:29,471
the course of the first two of three

4000
03:02:33,690 --> 03:02:32,230
passes the station is making over the

4001
03:02:34,350 --> 03:02:33,700
eclipse throughout the course of the day

4002
03:02:37,081 --> 03:02:34,360
today

4003
03:02:39,961 --> 03:02:37,091
that has already been posted on social

4004
03:02:42,150 --> 03:02:39,971
media and will continue to be posted as

4005
03:02:44,131 --> 03:02:42,160
the day wears on but we're looking very

4006
03:02:45,451 --> 03:02:44,141
much forward to talking to the crew and

4007
03:02:48,661 --> 03:02:45,461
getting their impressions and thoughts

4008
03:02:51,421 --> 03:02:48,671
as they passed over the Eclipse just

4009
03:02:53,041 --> 03:02:51,431
about 40 minutes or so ago so we'll be

4010
03:02:55,831 --> 03:02:53,051
back to you in just a few minutes with

4011
03:02:58,110 --> 03:02:55,841
the crew of expedition 52 aboard the

4012
03:03:00,930 --> 03:02:58,120
International Space Station for now back

4013
03:03:02,551 --> 03:03:00,940
to you in Charleston Dwayne Thank You

4014
03:03:04,501 --> 03:03:02,561
Rob and coming up later in the show

4015
03:03:06,631 --> 03:03:04,511
we'll have another unique Eclipse view

4016
03:03:09,511 --> 03:03:06,641
from space we'll have imagery from

4017
03:03:12,661 --> 03:03:09,521
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory ah

4018
03:03:16,501 --> 03:03:12,671
it's also about to see an eclipse

4019
03:03:19,531 --> 03:03:16,511
so SDO Solar Dynamics Observatory Alex

4020
03:03:23,491 --> 03:03:19,541
tell us a little bit about SDO well SDO

4021
03:03:25,951 --> 03:03:23,501
is one of NASA's heliophysics fleet it

4022
03:03:28,801 --> 03:03:25,961
gives us an unprecedented view of the

4023
03:03:31,621 --> 03:03:28,811
Sun incredible detail incredible time

4024
03:03:33,480 --> 03:03:31,631
and spatial resolution it shows us ten

4025
03:03:37,110 --> 03:03:33,490
different wavelengths of light at the

4026
03:03:40,081 --> 03:03:37,120
same time showing us in mostly extreme

4027
03:03:42,190 --> 03:03:40,091
ultraviolet light the sun's outer

4028
03:03:44,171 --> 03:03:42,200
atmosphere Corona and

4029
03:03:46,330 --> 03:03:44,181
almost fear where we can see all of the

4030
03:03:48,970 --> 03:03:46,340
dynamic phenomena that's happening it is

4031
03:03:53,020 --> 03:03:48,980
putting down all those 2 terabytes of

4032
03:03:55,810 --> 03:03:53,030
data a day giving us these unbelievable

4033
03:03:58,660 --> 03:03:55,820
views of solar eruptions solar

4034
03:04:02,470 --> 03:03:58,670
prominences solar flares and all of the

4035
03:04:03,100 --> 03:04:02,480
activity and the Sun that drives space

4036
03:04:07,150 --> 03:04:03,110
weather

4037
03:04:09,160 --> 03:04:07,160
what yari spends her days I mean it's

4038
03:04:11,140 --> 03:04:09,170
just an amazing mission because it lets

4039
03:04:13,000 --> 03:04:11,150
you see in some kind of hat so much

4040
03:04:15,400 --> 03:04:13,010
higher resolution the images from the

4041
03:04:17,200 --> 03:04:15,410
Sun that you can actually understand the

4042
03:04:19,960 --> 03:04:17,210
origins of space weather and those solar

4043
03:04:21,730 --> 03:04:19,970
flares the coronal mass ejections I mean

4044
03:04:23,950 --> 03:04:21,740
put it in perspective is like

4045
03:04:25,870 --> 03:04:23,960
downloading more than a million pictures

4046
03:04:28,570 --> 03:04:25,880
a day that's how much data

4047
03:04:31,600 --> 03:04:28,580
SDO Wow that's incredible ok so we're

4048
03:04:37,740 --> 03:04:31,610
gonna go back to Karen Fox who has a

4049
03:04:41,051 --> 03:04:37,750
pretty important person with her Karen

4050
03:04:43,091 --> 03:04:41,061
hello we are back and I have Mike

4051
03:04:45,131 --> 03:04:43,101
Massimino with me a former NASA

4052
03:04:46,690 --> 03:04:45,141
astronaut who was on the space shuttle

4053
03:04:48,640 --> 03:04:46,700
twice hello Mike

4054
03:04:52,330 --> 03:04:48,650
hello Karen hello every out there on

4055
03:04:53,710 --> 03:04:52,340
NASA television NASA TV we are so glad

4056
03:04:57,310 --> 03:04:53,720
to have you here now tell me was this

4057
03:04:59,200 --> 03:04:57,320
your first Eclipse yes this was my first

4058
03:05:01,990 --> 03:04:59,210
Eclipse I think there's one that passed

4059
03:05:03,671 --> 03:05:02,000
by my neighborhood in New York on Long

4060
03:05:05,350 --> 03:05:03,681
Island when I was a kid was they were

4061
03:05:06,790 --> 03:05:05,360
telling us not to look up the sky and be

4062
03:05:09,610 --> 03:05:06,800
careful know what that was like 9 I

4063
03:05:11,680 --> 03:05:09,620
think when I was a long time ago so this

4064
03:05:14,500 --> 03:05:11,690
is the first definitely the first total

4065
03:05:15,881 --> 03:05:14,510
eclipse I've been a part of and I will

4066
03:05:17,700 --> 03:05:15,891
say well see what I can get to the next

4067
03:05:19,600 --> 03:05:17,710
one this was pretty cool though let it

4068
03:05:20,890 --> 03:05:19,610
tell me a little bit about it what was

4069
03:05:22,990 --> 03:05:20,900
your experience to live up to what you

4070
03:05:25,270 --> 03:05:23,000
were expecting oh yeah I mean there was

4071
03:05:27,070 --> 03:05:25,280
certainly a lot of excitement it was you

4072
03:05:30,100 --> 03:05:27,080
know came right at the right time I

4073
03:05:31,631 --> 03:05:30,110
think all the science assets and

4074
03:05:33,430 --> 03:05:31,641
resources that were out there trying to

4075
03:05:34,540 --> 03:05:33,440
collect data and study the Sun that all

4076
03:05:36,610 --> 03:05:34,550
went well a lot of excitement throughout

4077
03:05:38,290 --> 03:05:36,620
the country a little bit too much cloud

4078
03:05:42,970 --> 03:05:38,300
coverage here though in South Carolina

4079
03:05:44,140 --> 03:05:42,980
you know yeah so you know we could have

4080
03:05:45,551 --> 03:05:44,150
gotten a better view but it could have

4081
03:05:46,600 --> 03:05:45,561
been a lot worse - I think her other

4082
03:05:48,910 --> 03:05:46,610
parts of the country they got clobbered

4083
03:05:51,250 --> 03:05:48,920
a little bit worse from the weather but

4084
03:05:52,870 --> 03:05:51,260
but it was really cool to be here and

4085
03:05:53,930 --> 03:05:52,880
and it got it got cool you know you

4086
03:05:56,001 --> 03:05:53,940
could I could

4087
03:05:57,171 --> 03:05:56,011
see it and I could feel it with the

4088
03:05:59,480 --> 03:05:57,181
temperature and I could hear it with the

4089
03:06:00,831 --> 03:05:59,490
excitement of us I guess predominantly a

4090
03:06:03,621 --> 03:06:00,841
student crowd that we had here at the

4091
03:06:05,091 --> 03:06:03,631
College of Charleston so tell me a

4092
03:06:06,801 --> 03:06:05,101
little bit about what it's like

4093
03:06:08,390 --> 03:06:06,811
something that the rest of us have not

4094
03:06:10,011 --> 03:06:08,400
been able to see which is seeing Earth

4095
03:06:12,551 --> 03:06:10,021
from space tell us a little bit about

4096
03:06:15,440 --> 03:06:12,561
that you know the Earth from space is

4097
03:06:18,320 --> 03:06:15,450
the most beautiful thing I've ever seen

4098
03:06:20,930 --> 03:06:18,330
it really is beyond words it's like a

4099
03:06:22,490 --> 03:06:20,940
look into paradise it's a it's just a

4100
03:06:24,770 --> 03:06:22,500
beautiful planet we're very lucky to be

4101
03:06:27,320 --> 03:06:24,780
here and I used to always count like the

4102
03:06:29,390 --> 03:06:27,330
the lucky things that we had here we

4103
03:06:32,060 --> 03:06:29,400
have an atmosphere that keeps us alive

4104
03:06:35,621 --> 03:06:32,070
and we have water that keeps us alive

4105
03:06:38,091 --> 03:06:35,631
here on our planet and we have a

4106
03:06:40,251 --> 03:06:38,101
magnetic field that keeps us protected

4107
03:06:42,440 --> 03:06:40,261
from solar radiation but we also have a

4108
03:06:45,171 --> 03:06:42,450
moon and a Sun the Sun is four hundred

4109
03:06:47,001 --> 03:06:45,181
times larger than the moon and 400 times

4110
03:06:50,030 --> 03:06:47,011
further away so they're the same size in

4111
03:06:51,740 --> 03:06:50,040
the sky so we get a chance to to have

4112
03:06:54,171 --> 03:06:51,750
Toller a solar eclipses which other

4113
03:06:55,671 --> 03:06:54,181
planets in our solar system do not so

4114
03:06:57,831 --> 03:06:55,681
we're lucky for a lot of reasons and I'm

4115
03:06:59,661 --> 03:06:57,841
going to add the solar eclipses center

4116
03:07:01,341 --> 03:06:59,671
to the list but the the beauty of it the

4117
03:07:03,261 --> 03:07:01,351
beauty of the planet and also the sense

4118
03:07:04,761 --> 03:07:03,271
of clockwork of this you know there's

4119
03:07:06,801 --> 03:07:04,771
ballet this dance that goes on between

4120
03:07:08,421 --> 03:07:06,811
the earth the Sun and the moon you can

4121
03:07:10,371 --> 03:07:08,431
see that in space and you can see the

4122
03:07:11,631 --> 03:07:10,381
rotation of the earth you know that the

4123
03:07:13,761 --> 03:07:11,641
what we call the Terminator between

4124
03:07:15,530 --> 03:07:13,771
night and night and day and as that just

4125
03:07:18,230 --> 03:07:15,540
steadily rotates you know just like this

4126
03:07:19,911 --> 03:07:18,240
clockwork going on and that's what we

4127
03:07:22,041 --> 03:07:19,921
witnessed today this clockwork with the

4128
03:07:24,530 --> 03:07:22,051
moon involved getting and getting in the

4129
03:07:26,331 --> 03:07:24,540
path of the Sun in us all lining up

4130
03:07:27,890 --> 03:07:26,341
perfectly together and it's that that

4131
03:07:30,490 --> 03:07:27,900
clockwork that still amazes me that

4132
03:07:32,871 --> 03:07:30,500
everything has this permanence to it it

4133
03:07:34,190 --> 03:07:32,881
doesn't disappoint yeah it's been going

4134
03:07:35,570 --> 03:07:34,200
on for billions of years and will

4135
03:07:37,461 --> 03:07:35,580
continue to go on for billions of years

4136
03:07:40,100 --> 03:07:37,471
the Sun will come up tomorrow these

4137
03:07:42,350 --> 03:07:40,110
things will keep happening that's it's a

4138
03:07:44,751 --> 03:07:42,360
power of force that that we can we can't

4139
03:07:46,310 --> 03:07:44,761
control into to see it in space was cool

4140
03:07:48,411 --> 03:07:46,320
and I have to see it down on earth that

4141
03:07:50,511 --> 03:07:48,421
was cool as well it's a beautiful

4142
03:07:52,161 --> 03:07:50,521
sentiment thank you very much I I agree

4143
03:07:55,970 --> 03:07:52,171
we've had an incredible day watching

4144
03:07:57,381 --> 03:07:55,980
watching this so how about 2024 do you

4145
03:07:59,541 --> 03:07:57,391
think you'll be lining up to see the

4146
03:08:01,881 --> 03:07:59,551
total eclipse in 2004 when's that that's

4147
03:08:03,081 --> 03:08:01,891
not too much where is it gonna be we're

4148
03:08:05,240 --> 03:08:03,091
everywhere is it coming that year that

4149
03:08:08,030 --> 03:08:05,250
is gonna go up from Texas up through

4150
03:08:10,970 --> 03:08:08,040
Maine it will be in 2024 works.i

4151
03:08:13,790 --> 03:08:10,980
it comes the coast but yeah that'll be

4152
03:08:16,130 --> 03:08:13,800
good I'll go and back to Dwane Brown

4153
03:08:18,230 --> 03:08:16,140
thank you hey thanks Karen it's good to

4154
03:08:19,940 --> 03:08:18,240
see mast to now but the entire unit

4155
03:08:22,580 --> 03:08:19,950
United States has experienced today's

4156
03:08:24,620 --> 03:08:22,590
solar eclipse let's go to social to see

4157
03:08:26,420 --> 03:08:24,630
what people are saying and they're suing

4158
03:08:27,860 --> 03:08:26,430
a lot I'm sure right John yeah thanks

4159
03:08:29,330 --> 03:08:27,870
man yeah we had just captured a few

4160
03:08:33,020 --> 03:08:29,340
reactions and wanted to want to show

4161
03:08:36,261 --> 03:08:33,030
those to here with some graphics like

4162
03:08:37,970 --> 03:08:36,271
this person right here is loving NASA as

4163
03:08:40,011 --> 03:08:37,980
a game day today he's giving some

4164
03:08:44,000 --> 03:08:40,021
shout-out to us here on the broadcast

4165
03:08:46,780 --> 03:08:44,010
which is really really quite nice this

4166
03:08:49,550 --> 03:08:46,790
is a another one of our Twitter users

from Nashville just some awesome photos

4168
03:08:53,600 --> 03:08:51,480
taken by users across the internet if

4169

at here on my computer just some amazing

4172
03:09:00,710 --> 03:08:59,130

4175
03:09:08,390 --> 03:09:06,060
here's another one of our users

4176
03:09:11,060 --> 03:09:08,400
he wrote this was the Pick of the

4177
03:09:13,840 --> 03:09:11,070
eclipse I took three glasses a second

4178
03:09:16,340 --> 03:09:13,850
one I've seen in my lifetime awesome

4179
03:09:17,540 --> 03:09:16,350
here's another one I'd like to thank the

4180
03:09:19,640 --> 03:09:17,550
clouds for letting me look at the

4181
03:09:21,140 --> 03:09:19,650
Eclipse it was so cool we are not

4182
03:09:23,450 --> 03:09:21,150
thinking the clouds here in Charleston

4183
03:09:24,410 --> 03:09:23,460
South Carolina but we did get that you

4184
03:09:25,370 --> 03:09:24,420
know it's really could see it with

4185
03:09:26,840 --> 03:09:25,380
bright and some was bright enough you

4186
03:09:28,790 --> 03:09:26,850
could see the partial eclipse of glasses

4187
03:09:30,530 --> 03:09:28,800
through the clouds just totality it was

4188
03:09:33,770 --> 03:09:30,540
a little of an issue here's another one

4189
03:09:36,350 --> 03:09:33,780
on Twitter it's very weird to be in a

4190
03:09:38,450 --> 03:09:36,360
darkened home with not so much daylight

4191
03:09:42,190 --> 03:09:38,460
at 2:45 p.m. if the Sun is still shining

4192
03:09:46,270 --> 03:09:44,800
and there's another one wife and I are

4193
03:09:47,530 --> 03:09:46,280
currently gazing into the bottom of a

4194
03:09:51,480 --> 03:09:47,540
box of frosted mini-wheats

4195
03:09:53,560 --> 03:09:51,490
/ @nasa advice it just making me hungry

4196
03:09:55,000 --> 03:09:53,570
and honestly it was better than I

4197
03:09:56,469 --> 03:09:55,010
thought I think a lot of people across

4198
03:09:57,910 --> 03:09:56,479
that's one thing we're really seeing I

4199
03:09:59,469 --> 03:09:57,920
mean everybody knew this was happening I

4200
03:10:01,240 --> 03:09:59,479
think the emotional experience then

4201
03:10:02,469 --> 03:10:01,250
would be eclipsed a lot of folks we're

4202
03:10:04,690 --> 03:10:02,479
seeing online weren't necessarily

4203
03:10:07,090 --> 03:10:04,700
anticipating that I think it could be

4204
03:10:08,830 --> 03:10:07,100
really heart-wrenching and scary a

4205
03:10:12,340 --> 03:10:08,840
little bit but also really emotional and

4206
03:10:14,290 --> 03:10:12,350
and spectacular here's another one and

4207
03:10:15,730 --> 03:10:14,300
any other day I'd be concerned if I saw

4208
03:10:18,340 --> 03:10:15,740
a line of people on the roof of the

4209
03:10:21,760 --> 03:10:18,350
parking garage today not so much it is

4210
03:10:24,010 --> 03:10:21,770
solar eclipse day and here's our last

4211
03:10:26,320 --> 03:10:24,020
one I want to show you all I'm saying

4212
03:10:28,660 --> 03:10:26,330
y'all y'all oh my god oh em gee it was

4213
03:10:31,660 --> 03:10:28,670
the coolest two minutes of my life

4214
03:10:32,770 --> 03:10:31,670
so I think a lot of people around the

4215
03:10:34,630 --> 03:10:32,780
country receive that sentiment this is

4216
03:10:36,820 --> 03:10:34,640
the sort of a celestial event that

4217
03:10:38,860 --> 03:10:36,830
really has a big impact and you know

4218
03:10:40,150 --> 03:10:38,870
you're we look at the Sun everyday and

4219
03:10:42,190 --> 03:10:40,160
we see it in the sky we it's a very

4220
03:10:44,650 --> 03:10:42,200
constant for us and all sudden for it to

4221
03:10:45,640 --> 03:10:44,660
be obscured feels a little unnatural I

4222
03:10:47,380 --> 03:10:45,650
think that's one of the things we were

4223
03:10:48,910 --> 03:10:47,390
really seeing across the internet so uh

4224
03:10:50,530 --> 03:10:48,920
thanks everyone for submitting your

4225
03:10:52,330 --> 03:10:50,540
questions with you at the hashtag and

4226
03:10:53,590 --> 03:10:52,340
for giving us your photos we really

4227
03:10:55,300 --> 03:10:53,600
appreciate it it was it's been

4228
03:10:56,590 --> 03:10:55,310
spectacular day for all of us you know

4229
03:10:59,710 --> 03:10:56,600
that's the great thing about social

4230
03:11:01,600 --> 03:10:59,720
media the creativity and those things

4231
03:11:03,340 --> 03:11:01,610
are like this is so awesome when they

4232
03:11:05,260 --> 03:11:03,350
post those things you get honesty yes

4233
03:11:08,650 --> 03:11:05,270
and we really really appreciate your

4234
03:11:11,200 --> 03:11:08,660
support for NASA and keep that those

4235
03:11:13,330 --> 03:11:11,210
images coming in okay so we've witnessed

4236
03:11:15,429 --> 03:11:13,340
a total solar eclipse as it moves across

4237
03:11:17,410 --> 03:11:15,439
the entire United States and it's

4238
03:11:19,450 --> 03:11:17,420
incredible to think about how NASA

4239
03:11:22,080 --> 03:11:19,460
scientists are using advanced tools to

4240
03:11:25,090 --> 03:11:22,090
image this eclipse so Alex you know

4241
03:11:27,429 --> 03:11:25,100
before all of this advance and here that

4242
03:11:29,800 --> 03:11:27,439
you know the cameras that people use

4243
03:11:32,170 --> 03:11:29,810
that we have now I think people used to

4244
03:11:34,300 --> 03:11:32,180
draw the eclipses you know let's let's

4245
03:11:35,770 --> 03:11:34,310
take a little history lesson yeah so you

4246
03:11:38,260 --> 03:11:35,780
know one of the things that's amazing so

4247
03:11:39,670 --> 03:11:38,270
looking at the Sun and eclipses it's

4248
03:11:42,160 --> 03:11:39,680
actually the beginning of modern

4249
03:11:45,310 --> 03:11:42,170
astronomy and before we had cameras

4250
03:11:47,920 --> 03:11:45,320
people actually drew eclipses by hand

4251
03:11:50,860 --> 03:11:47,930
and in fact this phenomena that that

4252
03:11:54,460 --> 03:11:50,870
jari and I study coronal mass ejections

4253
03:11:56,380 --> 03:11:54,470
were first seen in an image so if you

4254
03:11:59,019 --> 03:11:56,390
look at this image

4255
03:12:01,630 --> 03:11:59,029
well I had an image up from this book

4256
03:12:03,490 --> 03:12:01,640
it's actually an image of a coronal mass

4257
03:12:07,360 --> 03:12:03,500
ejection but what you're seeing here are

4258
03:12:10,840 --> 03:12:07,370
images from 1869 showing you the corona

4259
03:12:13,599 --> 03:12:10,850
drawn by hand but we looked back in the

4260
03:12:17,349 --> 03:12:13,609
past before we had cameras we discovered

4261
03:12:19,870 --> 03:12:17,359
helium on the Sun that was done during a

4262
03:12:21,639 --> 03:12:19,880
total solar eclipse we discovered the

4263
03:12:25,889 --> 03:12:21,649
outer atmosphere was hot and we even

4264
03:12:28,780 --> 03:12:25,899
were verified general relativity in 1919

4265
03:12:30,070 --> 03:12:28,790
and you know that the image that Alex

4266
03:12:31,780 --> 03:12:30,080
was gonna show you in the book is

4267
03:12:34,780 --> 03:12:31,790
actually like a hundred years before we

4268
03:12:38,530 --> 03:12:34,790
can actually see it with a satellite so

4269
03:12:40,689 --> 03:12:38,540
amazing okay so you know what I want to

4270
03:12:42,760 --> 03:12:40,699
do something fun here okay we haven't

4271
03:12:46,389 --> 03:12:42,770
fun can we have some more fun so Alex I

4272
03:12:48,670 --> 03:12:46,399
mean and for the young students out

4273
03:12:51,639 --> 03:12:48,680
there and folks the future generation of

4274
03:12:53,349 --> 03:12:51,649
scientists as I told Alex earlier he is

4275
03:12:54,939 --> 03:12:53,359
one of the coolest looking scientists

4276
03:12:56,649 --> 03:12:54,949
that I've seen he's got the earrings got

4277
03:12:58,120 --> 03:12:56,659
a look but he also has something even

4278
03:13:00,160 --> 03:12:58,130
cooler I got to gotta show him the shoes

4279
03:13:06,790 --> 03:13:00,170
man all right let's do this to work

4280
03:13:10,689 --> 03:13:06,800
let's show that lame shoes how cool is

4281
03:13:13,300 --> 03:13:10,699
that folks so so Alex what what got you

4282
03:13:15,040 --> 03:13:13,310
into the heliophysics in the Sun little

4283
03:13:16,860 --> 03:13:15,050
background well I you know I've been

4284
03:13:19,960 --> 03:13:16,870
interested in astronomy all my life

4285
03:13:22,809 --> 03:13:19,970
seeing things like Star Trek and Carl

4286
03:13:25,769 --> 03:13:22,819
Sagan but when I was studying

4287
03:13:28,479 --> 03:13:25,779
astrophysics in graduate school my

4288
03:13:31,090 --> 03:13:28,489
professor said you know you want to look

4289
03:13:32,860 --> 03:13:31,100
at the Sun the Sun is really close and

4290
03:13:35,320 --> 03:13:32,870
it's something we can study in

4291
03:13:37,450 --> 03:13:35,330
incredible detail and you can use this

4292
03:13:39,490 --> 03:13:37,460
as a tool to study the rest of the

4293
03:13:42,780 --> 03:13:39,500
universe so that was when I realized

4294
03:13:46,630 --> 03:13:42,790
that we can learn so much about our

4295
03:13:49,059 --> 03:13:46,640
universe why we're here just by looking

4296
03:13:50,590 --> 03:13:49,069
at our closest star the Sun and all the

4297
03:13:54,130 --> 03:13:50,600
incredible detail that we have and this

4298
03:13:56,200 --> 03:13:54,140
is the reason why scientists are so

4299
03:13:58,389 --> 03:13:56,210
excited about total solar eclipses

4300
03:14:01,389 --> 03:13:58,399
because we can see a region of the Sun

4301
03:14:04,059 --> 03:14:01,399
in visible light with our own eyes that

4302
03:14:06,670 --> 03:14:04,069
we cannot even see from space fantastic

4303
03:14:08,520 --> 03:14:06,680
so Alison we'll come back to you because

4304
03:14:10,410 --> 03:14:08,530
I understand you're a cat lover and

4305
03:14:12,211 --> 03:14:10,420
jadi I know you have a fantastic story

4306
03:14:14,251 --> 03:14:12,221
to tell but we're gonna go back out to

4307
03:14:15,870 --> 03:14:14,261
Karen who has another special guest

4308
03:14:18,751 --> 03:14:15,880
Karen you're just having a good time out

4309
03:14:21,020 --> 03:14:18,761
there I am having fun the College of

4310
03:14:23,430 --> 03:14:21,030
Charleston students have been fantastic

4311
03:14:24,990 --> 03:14:23,440
supporting us today and we have some

4312
03:14:25,230 --> 03:14:25,000
more students here can you tell me your

4313
03:14:27,690 --> 03:14:25,240
name

4314
03:14:29,070 --> 03:14:27,700
Nicole and tell me what year you are

4315
03:14:29,820 --> 03:14:29,080
what you're majoring in went a little a

4316
03:14:31,171 --> 03:14:29,830
little betcha

4317
03:14:32,881 --> 03:14:31,181
so I'm a senior at the College of

4318
03:14:34,171 --> 03:14:32,891
Charleston I'm studying biology I want

4319
03:14:35,461 --> 03:14:34,181
to do conservation work with like

4320
03:14:36,390 --> 03:14:35,471
endangered species in the fragile

4321
03:14:38,850 --> 03:14:36,400
habitats

4322
03:14:42,001 --> 03:14:38,860
fantastic so was this your very first

4323
03:14:44,341 --> 03:14:42,011
total solar eclipse yes and what did you

4324
03:14:46,381 --> 03:14:44,351
think it was really awesome glad I got

4325
03:14:48,330 --> 03:14:46,391
to see it tell me a little bit about

4326
03:14:49,740 --> 03:14:48,340
what you felt when it got dark and got

4327
03:14:52,620 --> 03:14:49,750
cold what did you think was happening I

4328
03:14:53,881 --> 03:14:52,630
was kind of just surio I didn't really

4329
03:14:55,410 --> 03:14:53,891
know what's going on it and expect all

4330
03:14:57,660 --> 03:14:55,420
the lights to come on and stuff so it

4331
03:14:59,190 --> 03:14:57,670
was really cool how about the rest of

4332
03:15:02,190 --> 03:14:59,200
you how was your experience today on the

4333
03:15:05,780 --> 03:15:02,200
total solar eclipse oh no no I'll never

4334
03:15:09,961 --> 03:15:05,790
see it again you're gonna see in 2024

4335
03:15:11,430 --> 03:15:09,971
really where we're at we have another

4336
03:15:14,700 --> 03:15:11,440
total solar eclipse across the United

4337
03:15:15,900 --> 03:15:14,710
States from Texas to Maine 2024 and of

4338
03:15:16,980 --> 03:15:15,910
course you can start traveling for them

4339
03:15:17,280 --> 03:15:16,990
do you think you'll start traveling for

4340
03:15:19,950 --> 03:15:17,290
them

4341
03:15:20,881 --> 03:15:19,960
probably not honestly it was cool but I

4342
03:15:22,591 --> 03:15:20,891
don't know it's kind of a

4343
03:15:24,720 --> 03:15:22,601
once-in-a-lifetime type of thing yeah

4344
03:15:25,950 --> 03:15:24,730
all right I'm gonna ask you my favorite

4345
03:15:29,211 --> 03:15:25,960
question I've been asking students to

4346
03:15:31,591 --> 03:15:29,221
this week what is the music you

4347
03:15:41,671 --> 03:15:31,601
associate with the Sun and space and the

4348
03:15:46,980 --> 03:15:41,681
Eclipse give me something here comes the

4349
03:15:49,440 --> 03:15:46,990

like what you expected what did you

4362
03:16:17,070 --> 03:16:14,950
expect I expected it to get dark but I

4363
03:16:19,890 --> 03:16:17,080
didn't didn't expect that temperature to

4364
03:16:21,390 --> 03:16:19,900
change and get so cold I felt the same

4365
03:16:22,140 --> 03:16:21,400
way I was really surprised I can't think

4366
03:16:24,301 --> 03:16:22,150
I was gonna rain

4367
03:16:26,341 --> 03:16:24,311
or something and it never did was

4368
03:16:29,011 --> 03:16:26,351
fantastic all right what are you gonna

4369
03:16:30,150 --> 03:16:29,021
do with your Eclipse glasses now um just

4370
03:16:33,900 --> 03:16:30,160
keep them as a souvenir

4371
03:16:35,640 --> 03:16:33,910
I might put them in a scrapbook like

4372
03:16:37,890 --> 03:16:35,650
that don't use them if you ever get them

4373
03:16:39,240 --> 03:16:37,900
scratched okay okay if you keep them

4374
03:16:40,650 --> 03:16:39,250
pristine you can use them again but not

4375
03:16:42,511 --> 03:16:40,660
if they get scratched okay gonna be real

4376
03:16:43,051 --> 03:16:42,521
careful with these right all right

4377
03:16:44,551 --> 03:16:43,061
fantastic

4378
03:16:47,430 --> 03:16:44,561
anybody here science major anyone of you

4379
03:16:51,390 --> 03:16:47,440
guys you are come on up oh look at your

4380

remember where I got this but it's

4383
03:17:00,360 --> 03:16:58,271
obviously constellations and it seemed

4384
03:17:02,041 --> 03:17:00,370
appropriate since it was astronomical I

4385
03:17:04,980 --> 03:17:02,051
agree and what kind of a science major

4386
03:17:07,020 --> 03:17:04,990
are you geology and biology probably and

4387
03:17:08,070 --> 03:17:07,030
do you say that this inspired you a

4388
03:17:14,631 --> 03:17:08,080
little bit more and be excited about

4389

I mean we're sharing here tell us your

4400
03:17:40,081 --> 03:17:38,530
story well I mean I started interested

4401
03:17:42,360 --> 03:17:40,091
in science since I was a little kid I

4402
03:17:44,100 --> 03:17:42,370
was very curious but it was when I

4403
03:17:47,220 --> 03:17:44,110
remember I traveled to Florida I have

4404
03:17:48,480 --> 03:17:47,230
family in Florida and it was at six

4405
03:17:50,100 --> 03:17:48,490
years old and I went to the Kennedy

4406
03:17:52,530 --> 03:17:50,110
Space Center and I saw the amazing

4407
03:17:55,470 --> 03:17:52,540
things that NASA had there I put in my

4408
03:17:56,910 --> 03:17:55,480
mind I want to work for NASA one day and

4409
03:17:58,740 --> 03:17:56,920
coming from a little island

4410
03:18:01,621 --> 03:17:58,750

4413
03:18:08,190 --> 03:18:05,891

4414
03:18:10,051 --> 03:18:08,200

it's been a great day so ladies and

4417
03:18:15,570 --> 03:18:13,841
gentlemen we've been talking about this

4418
03:18:17,251 --> 03:18:15,580
now it's time to go back to the Johnson

4419
03:18:18,841 --> 03:18:17,261
Space Center to Rob Davis and the

4420
03:18:23,220 --> 03:18:18,851
International Space Station coming up

4421
03:18:26,850 --> 03:18:23,230
Rob so okay

4422
03:18:29,041 --> 03:18:26,860
not yet so we're we're gonna come back

4423
03:18:32,341 --> 03:18:29,051
here I just love live television because

4424
03:18:34,540 --> 03:18:32,351
you just you turn but so now we can talk

4425
03:18:36,519 --> 03:18:34,550
about cats

4426
03:18:39,160 --> 03:18:36,529
I'm the cat let's go I'm a cat lover

4427
03:18:40,149 --> 03:18:39,170
yeah so you know I I love cats I've

4428
03:18:42,790 --> 03:18:40,159
always had cats

4429
03:18:44,529 --> 03:18:42,800
my wife has cats and the great thing

4430
03:18:46,450 --> 03:18:44,539
about it is there's such great

4431
03:18:48,550 --> 03:18:46,460
companions and I do a lot of traveling

4432
03:18:50,260 --> 03:18:48,560
for NASA and it actually is very

4433
03:18:52,870 --> 03:18:50,270
convenient to have a cat because they

4434
03:18:54,189 --> 03:18:52,880
let you go away come back they're still

4435
03:18:56,019 --> 03:18:54,199
glad to see you but they don't need

4436
03:18:58,510 --> 03:18:56,029
quite as much care as a dog does so

4437
03:19:00,910 --> 03:18:58,520
actually for all the work I've done and

4438
03:19:03,670 --> 03:19:00,920
all the time I've spent out studying the

4439
03:19:05,590 --> 03:19:03,680
Sun from other countries cats have

4440
03:19:07,090 --> 03:19:05,600
always been there for me so two quick

4441
03:19:10,359 --> 03:19:07,100
questions and then we are going to go

4442
03:19:14,500 --> 03:19:10,369
down to Houston advice for becoming a

4443
03:19:16,479 --> 03:19:14,510
scientist real quick well study it

4444
03:19:18,429 --> 03:19:16,489
sounds simple but just keep going to

4445
03:19:20,889 --> 03:19:18,439
school but try as many different things

4446
03:19:22,689 --> 03:19:20,899
as you can experience in different

4447
03:19:24,490 --> 03:19:22,699
opportunities internships things like

4448
03:19:26,769 --> 03:19:24,500
that because it gives you a chance to

4449
03:19:28,450 --> 03:19:26,779
really see the breadth of science and

4450
03:19:30,519 --> 03:19:28,460
technology out there Johnny

4451
03:19:32,710 --> 03:19:30,529

continent us six crew members aboard the

4465
03:20:04,750 --> 03:20:02,449
International Space Station had a chance

4466
03:20:07,540 --> 03:20:04,760
to view this phenomenal phenomenon from

4467
03:20:09,219 --> 03:20:07,550
a unique vantage point let's go to the

4468

front-row seat to history about an hour

4478
03:20:45,131 --> 03:20:41,920
ago the International Space Station flew

4479
03:20:47,950 --> 03:20:45,141
252 statute miles above the earth over

4480
03:20:50,261 --> 03:20:47,960
southern Canada as it made its way south

4481

of Hudson Bay with a tremendous view of

4482

windows of the International Space

4488
03:21:08,950 --> 03:21:06,200
Station

4489
03:21:11,650 --> 03:21:08,960

as the station flew over the shadow of

4512
03:22:09,671 --> 03:22:07,280
the earth well I'd seen pictures from

4513
03:22:12,700 --> 03:22:09,681
previous Eclipse and so I think I had

4514
03:22:15,430 --> 03:22:12,710
underestimated what this would look like

4515
03:22:18,070 --> 03:22:15,440
this was much darker than I gave it

4516
03:22:20,740 --> 03:22:18,080
credit for being unfortunately it was

4517
03:22:23,190 --> 03:22:20,750
kind of near the the limb near the edge

4518
03:22:27,421 --> 03:22:23,200
of the earth from our view so several

4519
03:22:30,790 --> 03:22:27,431
hundred miles away but it still was

4520
03:22:34,859 --> 03:22:30,800
impressive to be able to see that dark

4521
03:22:39,340 --> 03:22:37,510
for Randy Bresnik Randy you've been

4522
03:22:41,199 --> 03:22:39,350
looking forward to this event for some

4523
03:22:44,079 --> 03:22:41,209
time now your thoughts and impressions

4524
03:22:47,380 --> 03:22:44,089
of the Eclipse so you also shot digital

4525
03:22:51,219 --> 03:22:47,390
still imagery of it as well and what

4526
03:22:53,019 --> 03:22:51,229
does a solar eclipse do to a human being

4527
03:22:54,880 --> 03:22:53,029
what does it do to a human being in

4528
03:23:02,219 --> 03:22:54,890
terms of understanding our place in the

4529
03:23:04,989 --> 03:23:02,229
universe that's certainly a big question

4530
03:23:07,179 --> 03:23:04,999
you look down at the size of the shadow

4531
03:23:09,159 --> 03:23:07,189
and and you know we've gotten used to

4532
03:23:10,179 --> 03:23:09,169
the scope and scale of what the earth

4533
03:23:11,499 --> 03:23:10,189
looks like from here and just

4534
03:23:13,809 --> 03:23:11,509
understanding how many people be

4535
03:23:15,670 --> 03:23:13,819
affected by that and a friend of mine

4536
03:23:17,889 --> 03:23:15,680
the other day you know mentioned that

4537
03:23:19,210 --> 03:23:17,899
and it kind of really came to be you

4538
03:23:21,429 --> 03:23:19,220
know we were we were actually looking at

4539
03:23:22,899 --> 03:23:21,439
it was that she just a few hundred years

4540
03:23:25,659 --> 03:23:22,909
ago human beings wouldn't even known

4541
03:23:27,939 --> 03:23:25,669
that the Eclipse was coming and so here

4542
03:23:30,609 --> 03:23:27,949
you are looking up but all sudden the

4543
03:23:32,170 --> 03:23:30,619
Sun is disappearing and you know what

4544
03:23:33,460 --> 03:23:32,180
are the thoughts for all of you know

4545
03:23:35,289 --> 03:23:33,470
human existence where everybody's

4546
03:23:37,149 --> 03:23:35,299
looking up going the gods must be angry

4547
03:23:39,249 --> 03:23:37,159
at us you know and now we have the

4548
03:23:40,899 --> 03:23:39,259
ability not only to know it's coming

4549
03:23:43,029 --> 03:23:40,909
people are excited about it we know

4550
03:23:45,369 --> 03:23:43,039
people that travel to go be under the

4551
03:23:48,849 --> 03:23:45,379
Umbra you know and and making an event

4552
03:23:50,439 --> 03:23:48,859
you know a celestial event and for us

4553
03:23:52,139 --> 03:23:50,449
you know the witness it from above was

4554
03:23:54,219 --> 03:23:52,149
just really special because it

4555
03:23:55,659 --> 03:23:54,229
represents how far we've come with the

4556
03:23:57,429 --> 03:23:55,669
technology we have I mean look at we're

4557
03:23:59,260 --> 03:23:57,439
on the International Space Station but

4558
03:24:02,019 --> 03:23:59,270
we're doing you know more than 250

4559
03:24:03,789 --> 03:24:02,029
different experiments and working with

4560
03:24:05,889 --> 03:24:03,799
an international team look at where

4561
03:24:07,809 --> 03:24:05,899
we're at and so I look forward to that

4562
03:24:09,039 --> 03:24:07,819
next time we have a full eclipse maybe

4563
03:24:13,090 --> 03:24:09,049
we'll be taking pictures from a lot

4564
03:24:15,760 --> 03:24:13,100
farther away for Jack Fischer Jack it's

4565
03:24:17,380 --> 03:24:15,770
good to see you this afternoon you sent

4566
03:24:20,019 --> 03:24:17,390
a picture very early this morning of

4567
03:24:23,679 --> 03:24:20,029
this raft of cameras that were laid out

4568
03:24:25,960 --> 03:24:23,689
in the Destiny laboratory capture every

4569
03:24:33,069 --> 03:24:25,970
second of this unique event was it

4570
03:24:34,719 --> 03:24:33,079
awesomesauce times two for you yes it

4571
03:24:37,179 --> 03:24:34,729
was awesomesauce times two and and

4572
03:24:39,639 --> 03:24:37,189
Robert you know this has been a huge

4573
03:24:42,420 --> 03:24:39,649
coordination effort comrade

4574
03:24:45,310 --> 03:24:42,430
randy has been in charge of planning

4575
03:24:47,591 --> 03:24:45,320
where all of us would be in a

4576
03:24:50,230 --> 03:24:47,601
little Orchestra of which window which

4577
03:24:52,660 --> 03:24:50,240
camera so he did a great job with that I

4578
03:24:54,881 --> 03:24:52,670
was actually supposed to be taking off a

4579
03:24:57,791 --> 03:24:54,891
windowpane or a scratch pane right now

4580
03:24:59,530 --> 03:24:57,801
but due to the lighting and how we're

4581
03:25:02,620 --> 03:24:59,540
we're going about it we don't really

4582
03:25:05,940 --> 03:25:02,630
need to so I got I got lucky and got to

4583
03:25:10,990 --> 03:25:05,950
join all these folks for the Bao event

4584
03:25:13,961 --> 03:25:11,000
it was you know Peggy said she was she

4585
03:25:17,020 --> 03:25:13,971
underestimated it I definitely did just

4586
03:25:19,480 --> 03:25:17,030
judging from the pictures that spot was

4587
03:25:21,820 --> 03:25:19,490
you know a lot darker and a lot larger

4588
03:25:24,430 --> 03:25:21,830
than I thought it would be and you know

4589
03:25:26,410 --> 03:25:24,440
I I kind of was sitting in the Russian

4590
03:25:29,381 --> 03:25:26,420
segment at the window thinking you

4591
03:25:30,520 --> 03:25:29,391
remember snipe hunts I was like man this

4592
03:25:32,350 --> 03:25:30,530
kind of like a snipe hunt

4593
03:25:34,751 --> 03:25:32,360
I think somebody's pulling a joke on me

4594
03:25:36,940 --> 03:25:34,761
and then all of a sudden this huge black

4595
03:25:39,220 --> 03:25:36,950
shadow was going across the air so it

4596
03:25:41,881 --> 03:25:39,230
was it was amazing and it was cool to

4597
03:25:44,950 --> 03:25:41,891
see from this vantage point so

4598
03:25:49,810 --> 03:25:44,960
absolutely awesome sauce times three rub

4599
03:25:52,600 --> 03:25:49,820
three chocolate awesome sauce with a Sun

4600
03:25:58,690 --> 03:25:52,610
a side of Sun awesome sauce I don't know

4601
03:26:01,600 --> 03:25:58,700
it was awesome Rob for Paolo we do

4602
03:26:03,310 --> 03:26:01,610
remember six years ago May of 2011 when

4603
03:26:05,591 --> 03:26:03,320
you departed the International Space

4604
03:26:08,051 --> 03:26:05,601
Station on a Soyuz vehicle to come home

4605
03:26:09,910 --> 03:26:08,061
from your last flight you took that

4606
03:26:12,011 --> 03:26:09,920
signature picture of the shuttle

4607
03:26:13,570 --> 03:26:12,021
Endeavour docked to the station with all

4608
03:26:16,390 --> 03:26:13,580
of the other international partner

4609
03:26:18,761 --> 03:26:16,400
components and vehicles linked up

4610
03:26:24,020 --> 03:26:18,771
how did today's experience compare with

4611
03:26:28,491 --> 03:26:26,781
well six years ago I was kind of alone

4612
03:26:32,091 --> 03:26:28,501
there and the Soyuz capsule taking

4613
03:26:34,011 --> 03:26:32,101
pictures so through the rest of the team

4614
03:26:36,230 --> 03:26:34,021
Dimitra contractor was flying the Soyuz

4615
03:26:39,111 --> 03:26:36,240
and Katie Collman was actually taking

4616
03:26:41,661 --> 03:26:39,121
timing and telling me but it was it was

4617
03:26:44,211 --> 03:26:41,671
me with one camera and a video camera

4618
03:26:46,211 --> 03:26:44,221
and taking picture here today we had as

4619
03:26:48,531 --> 03:26:46,221
you saw from there from the photo that

4620
03:26:52,191 --> 03:26:48,541
two-faced jag sent this morning with an

4621
03:26:54,381 --> 03:26:52,201
armada of equipment we had multiple

4622
03:26:56,241 --> 03:26:54,391
places were flying back and forth from

4623
03:26:59,361 --> 03:26:56,251
the station to the cupola Russian

4624
03:27:02,841 --> 03:26:59,371
segment up and down and it was a

4625
03:27:05,631 --> 03:27:02,851
completely different orchestrated system

4626
03:27:09,621 --> 03:27:05,641
it was I was impressed too by the shadow

4627
03:27:12,411 --> 03:27:09,631
passing by I've seen some pictures but

4628
03:27:15,230 --> 03:27:12,421
and always as a kid always thought the

4629
03:27:17,810 --> 03:27:15,240
the Umbra would be kind of a squared

4630
03:27:19,850 --> 03:27:17,820
defined square but but it was not it's

4631
03:27:21,951 --> 03:27:19,860
kind of as much and this is interesting

4632
03:27:26,301 --> 03:27:21,961
to actually see this from Europe for you

4633
03:27:28,461 --> 03:27:26,311
with your own eyes Randy let me go back

4634
03:27:31,310 --> 03:27:28,471
to you for one second to follow up on

4635
03:27:32,991 --> 03:27:31,320
what Paolo just touched upon it must

4636
03:27:35,180 --> 03:27:33,001
have been a photo feeding frenzy on

4637
03:27:37,401 --> 03:27:35,190
board during those first two passes you

4638
03:27:40,151 --> 03:27:37,411
all have one more pass to go coming up

4639
03:27:42,651 --> 03:27:40,161
shortly give us a sense of that

4640
03:27:44,841 --> 03:27:42,661
choreography that your crewmates have

4641
03:27:46,551 --> 03:27:44,851
explained on board and it was at

4642
03:27:51,651 --> 03:27:46,561
everybody elbowing each other away from

4643
03:27:53,961 --> 03:27:51,661
the windows or how did it all work now

4644
03:27:55,571 --> 03:27:53,971
certainly everyone has their their

4645
03:27:57,711 --> 03:27:55,581
favorite things that they wanted to do

4646
03:27:58,821 --> 03:27:57,721
but we had to divide up the task because

4647
03:28:00,770 --> 03:27:58,831
we couldn't have everybody doing the

4648
03:28:02,270 --> 03:28:00,780
same thing and so we even you know took

4649
03:28:03,621 --> 03:28:02,280
the still shots and said okay we're

4650
03:28:06,350 --> 03:28:03,631
gonna shoot this particular type and

4651
03:28:07,520 --> 03:28:06,360
this particular speed from you know this

4652
03:28:08,810 --> 03:28:07,530
particular person so we're gonna vary it

4653
03:28:10,911 --> 03:28:08,820
from over here to ensure that we were

4654
03:28:13,310 --> 03:28:10,921
able to capture the images as best we

4655
03:28:14,930 --> 03:28:13,320
could to share it with you all cupola

4656
03:28:16,461 --> 03:28:14,940
was a little crowded because we had some

4657
03:28:18,350 --> 03:28:16,471
punch of cameras a bunch of people and

4658
03:28:21,020 --> 03:28:18,360
the big thing was to try and not bump

4659
03:28:23,901 --> 03:28:21,030
the video cameras sorry for the one when

4660
03:28:25,161 --> 03:28:23,911
you saw but you know when you see all

4661
03:28:26,421 --> 03:28:25,171
the video in the pictures it's not any

4662
03:28:28,251 --> 03:28:26,431
one person that took home it's the

4663
03:28:30,230 --> 03:28:28,261
expedition 52 crew to include our

4664
03:28:31,371 --> 03:28:30,240
Russian crewmates and so that's that's

4665
03:28:33,411 --> 03:28:31,381
where the credit goes because everybody

4666
03:28:35,451 --> 03:28:33,421
did their part not you know doing what

4667
03:28:37,219 --> 03:28:35,461
they wanted to do which is a definition

4668
03:28:40,920 --> 03:28:37,229
of teamwork and that's why we're here

4669
03:28:42,780 --> 03:28:40,930
and Peggy finally for you you're less

4670
03:28:44,520 --> 03:28:42,790
than two weeks away from returning to

4671
03:28:46,920 --> 03:28:44,530
earth after almost ten months on the

4672
03:28:49,139 --> 03:28:46,930
station having logged more days in space

4673
03:28:52,020 --> 03:28:49,149
than any American astronaut in history

4674
03:28:53,639 --> 03:28:52,030
how did this show today compared with

4675
03:28:56,400 --> 03:28:53,649
some of the other major milestones

4676
03:29:01,860 --> 03:28:56,410
you've witnessed and experienced during

4677
03:29:04,469 --> 03:29:01,870
your three long-duration missions well I

4678
03:29:06,270 --> 03:29:04,479
think that having the privilege of being

4679
03:29:08,010 --> 03:29:06,280
on three different long-duration

4680
03:29:11,040 --> 03:29:08,020
missions has given me a lot of

4681
03:29:14,969 --> 03:29:11,050
interesting experiences and this is just

4682
03:29:18,000 --> 03:29:14,979
another one to put in the history books

4683
03:29:20,610 --> 03:29:18,010
for my my memory I really enjoyed seeing

4684
03:29:23,730 --> 03:29:20,620
this and I think maybe a little more

4685
03:29:25,590 --> 03:29:23,740
than I expected to and so it's just

4686
03:29:28,050 --> 03:29:25,600
another little piece another memory

4687
03:29:32,010 --> 03:29:28,060
another very special event another very

4688
03:29:36,420 --> 03:29:32,020
special day of this fantastic experience

4689
03:29:38,040 --> 03:29:36,430
of being in space and down at Charleston

4690
03:29:40,050 --> 03:29:38,050
South Carolina an old friend and

4691
03:29:48,100 --> 03:29:40,060
colleague of yours Mike Massimino is

4692
03:29:53,741 --> 03:29:51,161
hey Peggy comrade to fish Paulo it's

4693
03:29:55,871 --> 03:29:53,751
nice down here in Charleston I got to be

4694
03:29:58,271 --> 03:29:55,881
in the path of totality below all of you

4695
03:30:00,401 --> 03:29:58,281
today and it was pretty awesome here and

4696
03:30:02,470 --> 03:30:00,411
it made me think of some of the really

4697
03:30:04,631 --> 03:30:02,480
cool things we see of this time you know

4698
03:30:08,261 --> 03:30:04,641
the timing the the cosmic dance of the

4699
03:30:10,600 --> 03:30:08,271
universe that we see and for each of you

4700
03:30:12,100 --> 03:30:10,610
did you describe something that you've

4701
03:30:14,261 --> 03:30:12,110
seen have you been up there more than

4702
03:30:15,821 --> 03:30:14,271
anyone any other American and all of you

4703
03:30:17,621 --> 03:30:15,831
think that you've seen that even if

4704
03:30:19,421 --> 03:30:17,631
they're more than any pairs to this that

4705
03:30:31,790 --> 03:30:19,431
you only see from space that we can't

4706
03:30:36,870 --> 03:30:34,710
well I mean I just feel like the whole

4707
03:30:41,011 --> 03:30:36,880
experience of being here of living here

4708
03:30:44,190 --> 03:30:41,021
is on a daily basis very special there's

4709
03:30:47,640 --> 03:30:44,200
just very special parts of each and

4710
03:30:50,100 --> 03:30:47,650
every day I do think this one is very

4711
03:30:55,070 --> 03:30:50,110
nice we've seen some incredible Aurora's

4712
03:30:57,421 --> 03:30:55,080
lately I've really enjoyed seeing

4713
03:30:58,980 --> 03:30:57,431
scientific research getting completed

4714
03:31:01,290 --> 03:30:58,990
some really cool research getting

4715
03:31:05,220 --> 03:31:01,300
completed and of course you can't beat

4716
03:31:08,250 --> 03:31:05,230
the view during a spacewalk but it's

4717
03:31:13,460 --> 03:31:08,260
it's just a piece of this huge puzzle of

4718
03:31:18,570 --> 03:31:16,200
Acura Mission Control for all of you an

4719
03:31:19,980 --> 03:31:18,580
amazing day and an amazing opportunity

4720

Eclipse central in Charleston South

4730
03:31:47,220 --> 03:31:45,910
Carolina thanks Rob Mike thank you

4731

4733
03:31:58,500 --> 03:31:55,690
NASA team so Mike we got to give in so

4734
03:32:01,591 --> 03:31:58,510
um you were here this isn't your first

4735
03:32:04,230 --> 03:32:01,601
Eclipse here I had my first one yeah and

4736
03:32:05,580 --> 03:32:04,240
didn't never saw one in space and never

4737
03:32:07,770 --> 03:32:05,590
saw one on the ground so this is my

4738
03:32:10,381 --> 03:32:07,780
first one on in space or on the ground

4739
03:32:11,940 --> 03:32:10,391
what's today ok I know you've been asked

4740
03:32:13,560 --> 03:32:11,950
the same question but just how did you

4741
03:32:15,150 --> 03:32:13,570
feel I mean you tell that you know it's

4742
03:32:16,770 --> 03:32:15,160
amazing it was a really cool you got a

4743
03:32:18,600 --> 03:32:16,780
lot of people excited you know this is

4744
03:32:20,671 --> 03:32:18,610
one of the bigger events may be the

4745
03:32:22,410 --> 03:32:20,681
biggest event we've had for a while

4746
03:32:23,220 --> 03:32:22,420
anyway and something everyone can get

4747
03:32:25,320 --> 03:32:23,230
excited about

4748
03:32:27,000 --> 03:32:25,330
lots of people flock to the path of

4749
03:32:29,100 --> 03:32:27,010
totality and as close as they could get

4750
03:32:30,421 --> 03:32:29,110
and and I just felt there was a lot of a

4751
03:32:32,220 --> 03:32:30,431
lot of excitement about it which was

4752
03:32:35,370 --> 03:32:32,230
great I wish the weather was a little

4753
03:32:38,940 --> 03:32:35,380
bit better here though yeah we had over

4754
03:32:40,830 --> 03:32:38,950
got some clouds in the way but even with

4755
03:32:42,421 --> 03:32:40,840
that it got it got dark it got cooler

4756
03:32:43,251 --> 03:32:42,431
you know when you see things in space

4757
03:32:45,530 --> 03:32:43,261
you don't hear any

4758
03:32:47,390 --> 03:32:45,540
and you're in your either your spacesuit

4759
03:32:49,581 --> 03:32:47,400
you can feel the warmth of the Sun

4760
03:32:50,871 --> 03:32:49,591
coming or the cool of the darkness as

4761
03:32:53,331 --> 03:32:50,881
you're going around the planet and you

4762
03:32:55,280 --> 03:32:53,341
can see the know the Terminator between

4763
03:32:57,110 --> 03:32:55,290
night and day and so on these reminders

4764
03:32:58,430 --> 03:32:57,120
of what we're what would what we're

4765
03:33:00,621 --> 03:32:58,440
about what our planet is about where

4766
03:33:01,940 --> 03:33:00,631
we're actually for all space voyages you

4767
03:33:04,121 --> 03:33:01,950
know here I was able to feel the

4768
03:33:07,041 --> 03:33:04,131
coolness right and it got really dark

4769
03:33:08,511 --> 03:33:07,051
and but was a lot of edits sound from

4770
03:33:10,041 --> 03:33:08,521
all the cheers of the students here at

4771
03:33:13,371 --> 03:33:10,051
the College of Charleston so that was

4772
03:33:14,631 --> 03:33:13,381
kind of fun too so good to be able to

4773
03:33:16,131 --> 03:33:14,641
share with all these I guess the

4774
03:33:17,451 --> 03:33:16,141
semester hasn't started here yet

4775
03:33:19,100 --> 03:33:17,461
because they should be studying pretty

4776
03:33:20,211 --> 03:33:19,110
soon yeah but they're so they're easing

4777
03:33:25,270 --> 03:33:20,221
into that so this is a nice way to

4778
03:33:31,461 --> 03:33:29,841
thank you let me off I appreciate hey so

4779
03:33:32,751 --> 03:33:31,471
we're gonna throw it back to Karen can

4780
03:33:35,990 --> 03:33:32,761

there yes I do I've got John hakka who

4782
03:33:40,251 --> 03:33:37,891
is a professor of physics and astronomy

4783
03:33:42,921 --> 03:33:40,261
at the College of Charleston hello John

4784
03:33:45,411 --> 03:33:42,931
hi nice to see you tell me is this your

4785
03:33:49,640 --> 03:33:45,421
first Eclipse this is my third totality

4786
03:33:51,501 --> 03:33:49,650
I saw one in 1972 in the gaspé Peninsula

4787
03:33:54,440 --> 03:33:51,511
in Canada and one off the coast of

4788
03:33:55,970 --> 03:33:54,450
Africa in 1973 have you ever done any

4789
03:33:59,121 --> 03:33:55,980
science during an eclipse are you mostly

4790
03:34:01,131 --> 03:33:59,131
in eclipse watcher I'm mostly an eclipse

4791
03:34:02,511 --> 03:34:01,141
watcher I was relatively young but those

4792
03:34:05,091 --> 03:34:02,521
two eclipses were what got me into

4793
03:34:07,671 --> 03:34:05,101
astronomy fantastic tell me a little bit

4794
03:34:10,011 --> 03:34:07,681
about what you did to prepare today for

4795
03:34:12,801 --> 03:34:10,021
this Eclipse with the students well we

4796
03:34:13,970 --> 03:34:12,811
had tremendous support from the faculty

4797
03:34:16,220 --> 03:34:13,980
and staff at the College of Charleston

4798
03:34:18,110 --> 03:34:16,230
who put together an event around the

4799
03:34:20,720 --> 03:34:18,120
Eclipse and tied it in with our

4800
03:34:24,320 --> 03:34:20,730
convocation so this morning we had a

4801
03:34:25,371 --> 03:34:24,330
convocation event where we introduced

4802
03:34:27,110 --> 03:34:25,381
the students and they're starting

4803
03:34:28,881 --> 03:34:27,120
they're kicking off their four years in

4804
03:34:30,890 --> 03:34:28,891
college with the Eclipse it's probably

4805
03:34:33,110 --> 03:34:30,900
one of the best ways to I mean if

4806
03:34:35,930 --> 03:34:33,120
there's if there's ever a sign of things

4807
03:34:37,310 --> 03:34:35,940
to come this is probably it and I saw

4808
03:34:39,890 --> 03:34:37,320
you out there with some telescopes today

4809
03:34:42,110 --> 03:34:39,900
were people looking through them we

4810
03:34:43,551 --> 03:34:42,120
tried to set those up I'm not sure how

4811
03:34:46,371 --> 03:34:43,561
successful they were because of the

4812
03:34:49,131 --> 03:34:46,381
cloud cover but we were able to use some

4813
03:34:51,081 --> 03:34:49,141
indirect pinhole methods and I walked

4814
03:34:53,810 --> 03:34:51,091
around one of these devices to students

4815
03:34:55,430 --> 03:34:53,820
around the around the yard here and they

4816
03:34:56,580 --> 03:34:55,440
seemed to enjoy it quite a bit it's it's

4817
03:34:59,330 --> 03:34:56,590
nice when you hear them say

4818
03:35:01,349 --> 03:34:59,340
cool can I take a picture you know it's

4819
03:35:03,660 --> 03:35:01,359
life has changed can we do a tweet of

4820
03:35:04,980 --> 03:35:03,670
you and your and your telescope tell me

4821
03:35:06,630 --> 03:35:04,990
a little more about that with your

4822
03:35:07,650 --> 03:35:06,640
students so were there any of your older

4823
03:35:09,090 --> 03:35:07,660
students so you knew we're out here

4824
03:35:11,340 --> 03:35:09,100
today who you knew we're excited and

4825
03:35:14,580 --> 03:35:11,350
what was their experience like so most

4826
03:35:16,380 --> 03:35:14,590
of our advanced students were working

4827
03:35:17,969 --> 03:35:16,390
with faculty members from the department

4828
03:35:20,429 --> 03:35:17,979
and they went to different sites and

4829
03:35:23,340 --> 03:35:20,439
locations around the city and the county

4830
03:35:26,219 --> 03:35:23,350
so they were covering city parks state

4831
03:35:28,650 --> 03:35:26,229
parks pretty much anywhere that they

4832
03:35:32,460 --> 03:35:28,660
could get a location I think we had 16

4833
03:35:34,139 --> 03:35:32,470
different sites so we distributed

4834
03:35:36,090 --> 03:35:34,149
approach and in fact I'm here almost

4835
03:35:38,849 --> 03:35:36,100
died by default because everyone else

4836
03:35:40,679 --> 03:35:38,859
had chosen a place to go and when the

4837
03:35:42,929 --> 03:35:40,689
college decided to make a big deal about

4838
03:35:45,210 --> 03:35:42,939
it I thought okay well I guess I can I

4839
03:35:47,250 --> 03:35:45,220
can suffer and be a good sport and just

4840
03:35:51,360 --> 03:35:47,260
to show you what being a good sport

4841
03:35:52,260 --> 03:35:51,370
means I had to wear this hat you look

4842
03:35:57,300 --> 03:35:52,270
fantastic

4843
03:35:58,800 --> 03:35:57,310
no it's great so tell me what was the

4844
03:36:01,950 --> 03:35:58,810
craziest question you got that somebody

4845
03:36:03,540 --> 03:36:01,960
asked you about the Eclipse so I

4846
03:36:05,370 --> 03:36:03,550
wouldn't say that it's the craziest

4847
03:36:07,050 --> 03:36:05,380
thing that I got asked but I know that a

4848
03:36:10,980 --> 03:36:07,060
few of the staff folks were telling me

4849
03:36:14,340 --> 03:36:10,990
because this coincided with the move-in

4850
03:36:17,849 --> 03:36:14,350
day apparently we had some parents who

4851
03:36:19,920 --> 03:36:17,859
were frustrated with the fact that they

4852
03:36:21,630 --> 03:36:19,930
were trying to move their kids in but

4853
03:36:23,849 --> 03:36:21,640
they had no hotels to stay in because

4854
03:36:25,950 --> 03:36:23,859
everything was packed and so they asked

4855
03:36:29,910 --> 03:36:25,960
some of the staff if they could move the

4856
03:36:31,349 --> 03:36:29,920
time of the Eclipse well it happened

4857
03:36:32,550 --> 03:36:31,359
whether or not we wanted it but I have

4858
03:36:34,679 --> 03:36:32,560
to agree it's been hard finding a place

4859
03:36:37,170 --> 03:36:34,689
to stay I'm sure that Charleston and the

4860
03:36:39,540 --> 03:36:37,180
College will be happy as things calm

4861
03:36:42,560 --> 03:36:39,550
down you get into your year tell me just

4862
03:36:44,880 --> 03:36:42,570
a little bit more do you have plans for

4863
03:36:46,260 --> 03:36:44,890
taking this Eclipse into the classroom

4864
03:36:48,810 --> 03:36:46,270
I'm curious about whether you think this

4865
03:36:50,360 --> 03:36:48,820
will Kindle excitement for people maybe

4866
03:36:54,870 --> 03:36:50,370
get a few new science students

4867
03:36:56,700 --> 03:36:54,880
absolutely I mean I think this is there

4868
03:36:58,980 --> 03:36:56,710
are very few opportunities that we have

4869
03:37:01,560 --> 03:36:58,990
where science comes to the public like

4870
03:37:04,230 --> 03:37:01,570
this event and I think NASA has done a

4871
03:37:06,660 --> 03:37:04,240
tremendous job of advertising this

4872
03:37:18,160 --> 03:37:06,670
across the country but as far as as far

4873
03:37:51,260 --> 03:37:36,951
you

4874
03:37:51,270 --> 03:37:53,940
everyone's

4875
03:38:06,580 --> 03:37:55,469
which

4876
03:38:10,460 --> 03:38:09,890
actually we don't you on a regular basis

4877
03:38:15,020 --> 03:38:10,470
to your research

4878
03:38:20,060 --> 03:38:15,030
I study cosmic gamma ray bursts and I've

4879
03:38:21,830 --> 03:38:20,070
worked with data from the Compton

4880
03:38:23,960 --> 03:38:21,840
Observatory the Batsy satellite it was a

4881
03:38:25,790 --> 03:38:23,970
team member on Batsy and then I've

4882
03:38:27,650 --> 03:38:25,800
worked with Swift data have a number of

4883
03:38:28,850 --> 03:38:27,660
collaborations going with that and with

4884
03:38:31,190 --> 03:38:28,860
Fermi data and I have a number of

4885
03:38:33,380 --> 03:38:31,200
collaborations going with that fantastic

4886
03:38:35,320 --> 03:38:33,390
it's been great talking to you and we're

4887
03:38:38,000 --> 03:38:35,330
gonna go back to Dwane Brown thank you

4888
03:38:40,130 --> 03:38:38,010
thanks Karen John I bet you are the Hat

4889
03:38:43,790 --> 03:38:40,140
the professor had on I was probably

4890
03:38:45,680 --> 03:38:43,800
gonna be on social media laughs from

4891
03:38:47,710 --> 03:38:45,690
coast to coast we've tracked the solar

4892
03:38:49,820 --> 03:38:47,720
eclipse over the past three hours

4893
03:38:51,920 --> 03:38:49,830
thousands of people along the path of

4894
03:38:54,680 --> 03:38:51,930
totality have witnessed a total solar

4895
03:38:57,230 --> 03:38:54,690
eclipse in person a breathtaking moment

4896
03:39:00,080 --> 03:38:57,240
when day turns and tonight and then back

4897
03:39:02,570 --> 03:39:00,090
again and today we brought you the most

4898
03:39:04,761 --> 03:39:02,580
spectacular images so that the millions

4899
03:39:07,520 --> 03:39:04,771
of you watching from home could also

4900
03:39:10,460 --> 03:39:07,530
witness these awe-inspiring moments

4901
03:39:12,470 --> 03:39:10,470
through the eyes of NASA I can't wait to

4902
03:39:15,350 --> 03:39:12,480
see what observations from today will

4903
03:39:17,150 --> 03:39:15,360
yield as scientists continue to analyze

4904
03:39:18,620 --> 03:39:17,160
the images we will continue to learn

4905
03:39:22,580 --> 03:39:18,630
more about today's eclipses

4906
03:39:23,740 --> 03:39:22,590
about the Sun and about how it affects

4907
03:39:29,570 --> 03:39:23,750
our daily lives

4908
03:39:31,761 --> 03:39:29,580
yadi your feelings your thoughts this

4909
03:39:34,040 --> 03:39:31,771
has been an amazing experience and you

4910
03:39:36,591 --> 03:39:34,050
know the clouds didn't let us see the

4911
03:39:39,140 --> 03:39:36,601
the the solar corona but it has been an

4912
03:39:41,030 --> 03:39:39,150
amazing experience and we got all the

4913
03:39:43,341 --> 03:39:41,040
experience that you know the darkness

4914
03:39:45,440 --> 03:39:43,351
that cold and you know the cool area of

4915
03:39:47,390 --> 03:39:45,450
the temperature is amazing and you know

4916
03:39:50,000 --> 03:39:47,400
it's not over yet the next total solar

4917
03:39:53,140 --> 03:39:50,010
eclipse will be in Argentina it prossimo

4918
03:39:58,790 --> 03:39:53,150
at least a total solid Tehran ahem Tina

4919
03:40:01,460 --> 03:39:58,800
and don't mean the attenuator Alex your

4920
03:40:05,180 --> 03:40:01,470
thoughts well this was amazing I mean

4921
03:40:06,920 --> 03:40:05,190
you know as Jerry said I've too bad that

4922
03:40:08,810 --> 03:40:06,930
we didn't get more didn't get to the

4923
03:40:12,591 --> 03:40:08,820
corona but this whole experience Carrie

4924
03:40:14,600 --> 03:40:12,601
it was it was it was immersive

4925
03:40:17,150 --> 03:40:14,610
experience getting to feel everything

4926
03:40:19,670 --> 03:40:17,160
around me getting to feel the excitement

4927
03:40:22,610 --> 03:40:19,680
you know being able to work with you all

4928
03:40:25,400 --> 03:40:22,620
to share this with millions of people

4929
03:40:28,100 --> 03:40:25,410
that is really what I live for is

4930
03:40:30,650 --> 03:40:28,110
getting to share the beauty the wonder

4931
03:40:32,870 --> 03:40:30,660
of nature with everyone we possibly can

4932
03:40:35,660 --> 03:40:32,880
and to know that we have been able to

4933
03:40:38,930 --> 03:40:35,670
help millions of people both in the path

4934
03:40:41,631 --> 03:40:38,940
and outside the path share in this human

4935
03:40:43,761 --> 03:40:41,641
experience is really what I am glad to

4936
03:40:47,690 --> 03:40:43,771
go home and know at the end of the day

4937
03:40:50,660 --> 03:40:47,700
and I also know that I get to see

4938
03:40:52,580 --> 03:40:50,670
another one besides the one in Argentina

4939
03:40:56,801 --> 03:40:52,590
and Chile we're gonna have another one

4940
03:41:00,160 --> 03:40:56,811
in this country 2024 it's gonna go from

4941
03:41:02,780 --> 03:41:00,170
Mexico Texas into Ohio River Valley

4942
03:41:05,750 --> 03:41:02,790
upstate New York and New England and it

4943
03:41:08,030 --> 03:41:05,760
even crosses Carbondale and for those

4944
03:41:11,750 --> 03:41:08,040
that got to see the one there could go

4945
03:41:14,091 --> 03:41:11,760
and see another one in less than 375

4946
03:41:15,680 --> 03:41:14,101
years in single place don't wonder if

4947
03:41:19,250 --> 03:41:15,690
the hotels have already filled up I

4948
03:41:22,551 --> 03:41:19,260
suspect they have like they have John I

4949
03:41:24,530 --> 03:41:22,561
got to come to you I know the

4950
03:41:27,440 --> 03:41:24,540
conversation and everything the images

4951
03:41:28,970 --> 03:41:27,450
your thoughts yeah I mean just from this

4952
03:41:30,830 --> 03:41:28,980
point point of view listening to all of

4953
03:41:32,660 --> 03:41:30,840
this and all the science was fantastic I

4954
03:41:35,240 --> 03:41:32,670
think that one of the things that really

4955
03:41:38,120 --> 03:41:35,250
and was most interesting to me was the

4956
03:41:40,160 --> 03:41:38,130
fact that the volume of people like I

4957
03:41:41,690 --> 03:41:40,170
said the earlier this broke our records

4958
03:41:43,280 --> 03:41:41,700
for the most streaming event we've ever

4959
03:41:45,950 --> 03:41:43,290
had and NASA does some pretty amazing

4960
03:41:47,390 --> 03:41:45,960
things we fly human beings in space we

4961
03:41:49,430 --> 03:41:47,400
launch spacecraft we show images from

4962
03:41:50,511 --> 03:41:49,440
the Hubble Space Telescope we're doing

4963
03:41:52,341 --> 03:41:50,521
kinds of developmental work it's just

4964
03:41:54,020 --> 03:41:52,351
there's constantly awesome programming

4965
03:41:56,240 --> 03:41:54,030
from NASA out of this world so to speak

4966
03:41:58,131 --> 03:41:56,250
and so for this event to eclipse

4967
03:41:59,631 --> 03:41:58,141
unintended everything else we've done is

4968
03:42:01,341 --> 03:41:59,641
pretty pretty spectacular I actually

4969
03:42:02,900 --> 03:42:01,351
have a couple cool photos I would mine

4970
03:42:04,970 --> 03:42:02,910
show and go fast if we have a second

4971
03:42:06,761 --> 03:42:04,980
sure if you could pull those up this one

4972
03:42:11,180 --> 03:42:06,771
right here is from the space station

4973
03:42:13,400 --> 03:42:11,190
from Palo and that's Foley he tweet he

4974
03:42:15,410 --> 03:42:13,410
he posted this on his Twitter account

4975
03:42:17,240 --> 03:42:15,420
pretty pretty freakin cool I think this

4976
03:42:21,080 --> 03:42:17,250
you could see the darkness of the moon

4977
03:42:22,700 --> 03:42:21,090
shadow across across the planet and just

4978
03:42:25,670 --> 03:42:22,710
one more photo I want to show you show

4979
03:42:27,320 --> 03:42:25,680
you this is just a fun one of from New

4980
03:42:29,060 --> 03:42:27,330
York City Times Square you know this

4981
03:42:30,650 --> 03:42:29,070
broadcast was all over the country

4982
03:42:32,719 --> 03:42:30,660
I have people were texting

4983
03:42:35,240 --> 03:42:32,729
say hey I see you on TV I'm showing it

4984
03:42:37,370 --> 03:42:35,250
to my kids in their classroom and so it

4985
03:42:39,350 --> 03:42:37,380
wasn't just us wasn't is the people

4986
03:42:40,670 --> 03:42:39,360
viewing it online that the masses of

4987
03:42:42,469 --> 03:42:40,680
people but there was also classrooms

4988
03:42:43,850 --> 03:42:42,479
were broadcasting across the country so

4989
03:42:45,260 --> 03:42:43,860
hopefully we've reached a lot of kids

4990
03:42:46,820 --> 03:42:45,270
