Up toward April's and Great North American Eclipse, hosting a media day today with officials from NASA. Channel 7's Ashley Butler spoke with the city's mayor and a NASA official about next year's big event. This great North American eclipse is set for April 8th of 2024. This event is a really great opportunity to see the solar corona. Generally speaking, if you the yellow sun introduced the scene is what we call a photosphere. The corona is the outer layers of the sun's atmosphere. The earth just lives in this layer of the sun's atmosphere. So this is one of the few times that you get to see it from the ground with the naked eye. The eclipse lasting for four minutes and eleven and a half seconds. It's just going to be a huge event for Arkansas, especially for Roosevelt. And we're blessed enough to have NASA choose to broadcast from here, got a team coming in and get some pre-information to try to determine where they want to broadcast. 2017 was the last time an eclipse was visible in the US. The next total solar eclipse to pass through a large chunk of the continental United States will not be till 2045. There will be one in 2044 that hits Montana, Michigan, North Dakota, but we'll have to wait till 2045 before we get to see the total solar eclipse and they'll be in continental US. Mayor says this event is going to draw people to the city. It's amazing that NASA has chose our hometown to be the place that they choose out of all of Arkansas. They could have chose any community, but they chose the rest of the world to start a broadcast. That's a really big thing for Roosevelt. Russellville is one of the many cities across the country to be impacted by the eclipse. Okay, that's our Ashley Butler reporting. The actual location for that live broadcast is yet to be determined.
