In addition to casting a breathtaking, passing shadow over the heads of millions of people, this total solar eclipse gives scientists a unique opportunity to study the Sun, Earth, and their interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NASA will fund five interdisciplinary science projects for the 2024 eclipse to make the most of this opportunity. The projects, which are led by researchers at different academic institutions, will study the Sun and its influence on Earth with a variety of instruments, including cameras aboard high-altitude research planes, ham radios, and more. Two of the projects also encourage participation from citizen scientists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSeven years after the last American total solar eclipse, we\u2019re thrilled to announce the selection of five new projects that will study the 2024 eclipse,\u201d said Peg Luce, acting director of the Heliophysics Division in the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to see what these new experiments will uncover about our Sun and its impact on Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During total solar eclipses, the Moon perfectly blocks out the face of the Sun, allowing the Sun\u2019s wispy outer atmosphere \u2013 called the corona \u2013 to be seen clearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cScientists have long used solar eclipses to make scientific discoveries,\u201d said Kelly Korreck, program scientist at NASA Headquarters. \u201cThey have helped us make the first detection of helium, have given us evidence for the theory of general relativity, and allowed us to better understand the Sun\u2019s influence on Earth\u2019s upper atmosphere.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\"><div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\"><div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"><figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-fit \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/chasing_eclipse_project_image.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"985\" height=\"547\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/chasing_eclipse_project_image.png?w=985\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"A black circle fills the middle of the image.

By flying along the eclipse path, they also hope to extend their time in the Moon\u2019s shadow by over two minutes. The team hopes these observations will provide new insights into structures in the corona and the sources of the constant stream of particles emitted by the Sun, the solar wind. The team is led by Shadia Habbal of the University of Hawaii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2018Listening Party\u2019 for Amateur Radio Operators<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an upper region of our atmosphere, energy from the Sun knocks electrons out of atoms, making the region electrically charged, or \u201cionized.\u201d This region, the ionosphere, can help radio communications travel long distances, such as those among amateur (or \u201cham\u201d) radio operators around the world. However, when the Moon blocks the Sun during a solar eclipse, the ionosphere can change dramatically, affecting those communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During both the 2024 total solar eclipse and an <a href=\"https:\/\/solarsystem.nasa.gov\/eclipses\/2023\/oct-14-annular\/overview\/\" rel=\"noopener\">annular solar eclipse this October<\/a>, Nathaniel Frissell of The University of Scranton is inviting ham radio operators to participate in \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/hamsci.org\/seqp-faqs\" rel=\"noopener\">Solar Eclipse QSO Parties<\/a>,\u201d when they will try to make as many radio contacts (\u201cQSOs\u201d in ham parlance) as they can with other operators in different locations. The radio operators will record how strong their signals are and how far they go to observe how the ionosphere changes during the eclipses. Similar experiments in the past have shown that changes in the ionosphere\u2019s electron content due to solar eclipses have significant impacts on how radio waves travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solar Radiation\u2019s Effects on Earth\u2019s Upper Atmosphere Layers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The darkest part of this eclipse\u2019s shadow passes across several locations equipped with SuperDARN radars. The Super Dual Auroral Radar Network monitors space weather conditions in upper layers of Earth\u2019s atmosphere, so the eclipse offers a unique opportunity to study the impact of solar radiation on upper layers of Earth\u2019s atmosphere during the eclipse. A project led by Bharat Kunduri, of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, will use three SuperDARN radars to study the ionosphere during the eclipse. Kunduri\u2019s team will compare the measurements to predictions from computer models to answer questions about how the ionosphere reacts to a solar eclipse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bringing the Sun\u2019s Magnetic \u2018Hot Spots\u2019 Into Sharper Focus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the upcoming eclipses, NASA\u2019s Jet Propulsion Laboratory scientist Thangasamy Velusamy, educators at the Lewis Center for Education Research in Southern California, and participants in the center\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/gavrt.lewiscenter.org\/Campaigns\/Solar-Patrol\/index.html\" rel=\"noopener\">Solar Patrol citizen science program<\/a> will observe solar \u201cactive regions\u201d \u2013 the magnetically complex regions that form over sunspots \u2013 as the Moon moves over them. The Moon\u2019s gradual passage across the Sun blocks different portions of the active region at different times, allowing scientists to distinguish light signals coming from one portion versus another. The team will use the 34-meter Goldstone Apple Valley Radio Telescope (GAVRT) to measure subtle changes to the radio emissions from active regions during both the 2023 annular and 2024 total eclipses. The technique, first used during the May 2012 annular eclipses, revealed details on the Sun the telescope couldn\u2019t otherwise detect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related Links<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7      <a href=\"https:\/\/solarsystem.nasa.gov\/eclipses\/home\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Learn more about eclipses<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7      <a href=\"https:\/\/solarsystem.nasa.gov\/eclipses\/2024\/apr-8-total\/overview\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Learn more about the 2024 total solar eclipse<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/feature\/goddard\/2017\/eclipse-2017-nasa-supports-a-unique-opportunity-for-science-in-the-shadow\/\" rel=\"noopener\">2017 Eclipse Science Projects<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/feature\/goddard\/2017\/chasing-the-total-solar-eclipse-from-nasa-s-wb-57f-jets\" rel=\"noopener\">Chasing the Total Solar Eclipse from NASA\u2019s WB-57F Jets<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Media Contact: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"mailto:denise.hill@nasa.gov\"><strong><em>Denise Hill<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>, NASA Headquarters, Washington<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-topic-cards nasa-gb-align-full maxw-full width-full padding-y-6 padding-x-3 color-mode-dark hds-module hds-module-full wp-block-nasa-blocks-topic-cards\">\t\t<div class=\"grid-container grid-container-block-lg padding-x-0\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-row flex-align-center margin-bottom-3\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"desktop:grid-col-8 margin-bottom-2 desktop:margin-bottom-0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"label color-carbon-60 margin-bottom-2\">Keep Exploring<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"heading-36 line-height-sm\">Discover More Topics From NASA<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-row grid-gap-2 hds-topic-cards-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/eclipses\/\" class=\"mobile:grid-col-12 tablet:grid-col-6 desktop:grid-col-3 topic-card margin-bottom-4 desktop:margin-bottom-0\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hds-topic-card hds-cover-wrapper cover-hover-zoom bg-carbon-black\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"skrim-overlay skrim-overlay-dark skrim-left mobile-skrim-top padding-3 display-flex flex-align-end flex-justify-start z-200\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"hds-topic-card-heading heading-29 color-spacesuit-white line-height-sm margin-top-0 margin-bottom-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Eclipses<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><circle class=\"color-nasa-red\" cx=\"16\" cy=\"16\" r=\"16\"><\/circle><path d=\"M8 16.956h12.604l-3.844 4.106 1.252 1.338L24 16l-5.988-6.4-1.252 1.338 3.844 4.106H8v1.912z\" class=\"color-spacesuit-white\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"hds-media-background  \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" style=\"transform: scale(1);
