An annular “ring of fire” solar eclipse on May 20, 2012NASA/Bill Dunford On Saturday, Oct. 14, the Moon will pass between Earth and the Sun, giving people across the United States an opportunity to see an annular solar eclipse. NASA will host live coverage of the eclipse starting at 11:30 a.m. EDT. Media have an opportunity to interview NASA experts live prior to the eclipse, and those on site at two locations where NASA will broadcast live also can request interviews that day. Also known as a ring of fire eclipse, an annular solar eclipse happens when the Moon is at or near its farthest point from Earth. Because the Moon is farther away than it is during a total…

iss070e000004 (Sept. 27, 2023) — NASA astronaut and Expedition 70 Flight Engineer Jasmin Moghbeli participates in virtual reality spacewalk training using SAFER, or Simplified Aid for EVA Rescue. Attached to the spacesuits, the device allows astronauts to safely return to the station if they were to become untethered. Using a VR headset mimics this environment, allowing astronauts to be “outside” the station while tracking movements of their hands and bodies during training. NASAView the full article

8 Min Read Goddard Earth Science Projects Featured at the American Geophysical Union Welcome to the 2022 AGU It felt like the first day at a new school – scrambling out of the car in the carpool lane, backpacks swinging over our shoulders, then facing the large entryway of the new and daunting building. For a week in December, nearly 23,000 people roam the large Chicago convention center where the 2022 American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting conference was held. I was one of those several thousand people. As a young professional who only recently graduated from college…
