ScienceCasts: Southern Hemisphere Solar Eclipse

Visit http://science.nasa.gov/ for more. On Sunday, February 26th, the moon will pass in front of the sun, transforming rays of sunlight across parts of South America, southern Africa and Antarctica into fat crescents and thin rings of light. Click here to see more videos: https://alugha.com/NASA

ScienceCasts: Solar Minimum is Coming

Intense solar activity such as sunspots and solar flares subsides during solar minimum, but that doesn’t mean the sun becomes dull. Solar activity simply changes form. Click here to see more videos: https://alugha.com/NASA Visit http://science.nasa.gov/ for more.

ScienceCasts: Twinkle Twinkle GPS

Dynamic bubbles of ionization in Earth's upper atmosphere can cause GPS signals to "twinkle" like stars, affecting the quality of navigation on Earth below. NASA recently conducted a mission called CINDI to investigate this phenomenon. Visit http://science.nasa.gov/ for more. Click here to see mor

ScienceCasts: Indonesian Solar Eclipse

During the early hours of March 9, 2016 the new moon will pass directly in front of the sun, producing a total eclipse of the sun over South East Asia. A partial eclipse will be viewable the evening of March 8, 2016 in westernmost parts of the USA including Alaska and Hawaii. Click here to see mor
