According to NASA, “After the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, the next total solar eclipse that can be seen from the contiguous United States will be on Aug. 23, 2044. We can't normally see the corona – the Sun's outer atmosphere – because the Sun's surface below it is so much brighter.” Watch this PBS video on where and when you can view this once in a generation natural event. https://lnkd.in/e-bih6gS

Discover the lessons I learned about adaptability during my time guest-hosting on CNN International's coverage of the 2024 Solar Eclipse and how you can apply those same lessons to your own life. https://lnkd.in/eh-TFVZS

As understanding of the motion of celestial bodies expands, current calculations based on elliptical-like orbits and relativity are showing their limits. Universal celestial timekeeping has needs beyond the Moon. #LunaNet Imagine setting time and location coordinates for space flight hitting a moving target outside our solar system...? New tools will be needed. https://lnkd.in/gAUak2BV

Greetings connections, Today I found out a special thing that the sun’s magnetic field gets reversed every 11 years, coinciding with the peak of each solar cycle known as the solar maximum. This reversal involves the sun’s north and south magnetic poles switching polarity and then gradually strengthening as solar activity wanes. You can read the entire article on Perplexity.

Most likely y'all have plenty of maps that you’re aware of, about the eclipse, but just in case: From Esri Story Maps Team: Mapping the eclipse: A journey through darkness:  https://arcg.is/DmmX0    From NASA: Learning from Stars and Solar Eclipses:  https://lnkd.in/ga4qZ8H5   From me: Exploring Solar Eclipses with GIS: https://lnkd.in/gpnHEYq9  

#SearchforLife Jupiter played a key role in life developing on Earth, so to boost the search for life outside the solar system, scientists have built a catalog of small, Earth-like planets with Jupiter-like siblings. https://lnkd.in/gdMs5NsN

The solar eclipse on Monday, April 8th has been on our family’s radar for months, and yet given life’s rich pageant (kids, work, dog, leaky pipe, etc.), here we are, eleven days to go, and we still don’t really have a plan. With the next US eclipse not predicted to appear until 2045, we’ve got to get our act together! Sound familiar? Well, come on in. We did our research, and it’s still possible to "totally" enjoy this "out-of-this-world" event with kids. Read on for ways to see the eclipse from wherever you'll be, how to help young kids (and ourselves) behold the moment safely, and even how to make it a playful celebration. https://lnkd.in/eXWmTjuv
