A total solar eclipse creates stunning celestial views for people within the path of the Moon’s shadow. This astronomical event is a unique opportunity for scientists to study the Sun and its influence on Earth, but it’s also a perfect opportunity to capture unforgettable images. Whether you’re an amateur photographer or a selfie master, try out these tips for photographing the eclipse.  

A total solar eclipse is a unique opportunity for scientists studying in the shadow of the Moon, but it’s also a perfect opportunity to capture unforgettable images. Whether you’re an amateur photographer or a selfie master, try out these tips for photographing the eclipse.NASA/Beth Anthony
#1 – Safety First
Looking directly at the Sun is dangerous to your eyes and your camera. To take images when the Sun is partially eclipsed, you’ll need to use a special solar filter to protect your camera, just as you’ll need a pair of solar viewing glasses (also called eclipse glasses) to protect your eyes. However, at totality, when the Moon completely blocks the Sun, make sure to remove the filter so you can see the Sun’s outer atmosphere – the corona.
#2 – Any Camera Is a Good Camera
Taking a stunning photo has more to do with the photographer than the camera.
History
Intended to be the observatory's primary imaging instrument, WFPC operated flawlessly when the telescope was finally launched in 1990.WFPC also helped pinpoint a manufacturing flaw in the telescope's primary mirror. It had been polished to just slightly the wrong shape. The error made Hubble a hugely expensive laughing stock shortly after launch, but JPL scientists realized they could rescue the mission by installing corrective optics in an updated camera. JPL developed the camera, WFPC2, which was installed on Hubble by astronauts in 1993, and operated until removed during a servicing mission in 2009. JPL's Wide Field and Planetary Camera being replaced during Servicing Mission 1, December 1993. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech If WFPC was JPL's first major astronomy mission, it was far from the last. JPL was the U.S. partner on the Infrared Astronomical Satellite program, a joint effort with the U.K. and Netherlands to complete an infrared survey of the low temperature universe. Launched in 1983, IRAS operated for 10 months, mapping 96% of the sky. The Infrared Astronomical Satellite in testing at JPL, October 1982. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech The mission also established a permanent repository for infrared astronomy data, the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center (IPAC), at Caltech.IRAS opened the door to other infrared astronomy missions, including JPL's Spitzer Space Telescope, launched in 2003 and decommissioned in January 2020. The Spitzer Space Telescope being prepared for launch in 2003. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech JPL also found its first major Earth science opportunity in this era, 1978's Seasat-A mission. Seasat-A was an ocean remote-sensing satellite, with experimental instruments for measuring surface temperature, sea surface height and wind velocity. The satellite also carried a synthetic aperture radar for both ocean and land surface studies. Seasat-A failed prematurely, but all of its instruments later flew on other JPL missions, including the US/France TOPEX/Poseidon and its successors in the Jason series of ocean altimetry satellites, QuikScat and RapidScat. Spare equipment from the synthetic aperture radar experiment also flew on the second space shuttle mission in 1981.

Casey Honniball: Finding Her Space in Lunar Science - NASA
I appreciate all she has done for me and am grateful for the opportunities she and our lab have provided.

Using Earth-based telescopes, Casey studies the Moon to understand the lunar volatile cycle. “While doing my master’s, one of my advisers introduced me to Earth-based lunar observation to look at hydration on the surface of the Moon,” said Casey. “I found that I really liked the Moon and found my place in science.”

What sorts of instruments do you test for use on the Moon?
I test the use of mid- to long-wave infrared instruments for reconnaissance of a location prior to astronauts setting foot outside a vehicle. For example, an instrument on a rover can scan the area to characterize the minerology and volatiles including water, carbon dioxide, sulfur, methane, and similar chemicals. This then allows astronauts and scientists to select locations to collect samples.
I test this procedure on Earth by doing field work.
What is the most exciting field work you have done to test those instruments?
In 2015, I went to the Atacama Desert in Chile to install a radio camera on an existing telescope. I spent about a month installing the camera and observing on the telescope. There were only about 15 people I interacted with during that time. The area is very Martian-like; it is very red, dry, and barren, although we saw wild donkeys.
During Christmas of 2015 and again in 2016, one month each time, I went to Antarctica to launch a high-altitude balloon radio telescope. I lived at McMurdo Station and worked at their balloon facility near the airstrip. Antarctica is a completely different experience than you could imagine. You are so cut off from civilization. You have only the people who are there, although, I was there during Antarctica’s summer when McMurdo had many people. You are in a completely barren landscape that is so magnificently beautiful.
In 2018, I deployed an instrument I built to the Kīlauea Lava Lake on the Big Island of Hawaii. This is a National Park with thousands of visitors yearly. The lava lake was active at the time.
Dr. Kurtis Thome | Terra
He liked looking at the sky and going to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. “There are two things that children who like looking at the sky want to become, astronomers or weathermen.  If you’re parents don’t let you out after dark, you really only have one choice,” says Thome.
Thome earned his bachelor’s degree from Texas A and M University in meteorology and his masters and doctorate from the University of Arizona in atmospheric sciences. He continued to work at the University of Arizona in the College of Optical Sciences as a faculty member from 1991 – 2008.  While working at the University of Arizona he served on the Landsat 7 science team as the Reflected Solar Calibration Expert until 2005. He also was part of the ASTER, MODIS, and EO-1 science teams, vicariously calibrating remotely sensed data.  The current methods used in vicarious calibration are based on the methods he helped pioneer. Thome was involved with remote sensing for more than two decades, before becoming the Terra Project Scientist in 2012.
He joined Goddard Space Flight Center in 2008 as a research physical scientist where he continued to research calibration and validation of remote sensing instruments.  His research helps bridge the gap between engineering and remote sensing applications.  He went on to become the CLARREO Deputy Project Scientist and served as the calibration lead from 2009-2013 for the Thermal Infrared Sensor on what became Landsat 9.  He is the VIIRS Instrument Scientist and Lead for the Independent Calibration Team for CLARREO Pathfinder.
Dr. Thome has received many awards and recognitions for his research and leadership in Earth system science, including becoming a Fellow of SPIE and earning NASA group achievement awards as part of the ASTER Science, CLARREO Mission Concept, Suomi NPP Mission Development, TIRS Instrument Development, JACIE, and Landsat Data Continuity Mission Teams.  Thome has published over 90 peer-reviewed publications.

Sensing the Universe - NASA Science
The upcoming European Space Agency-led Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is designed to detect gravitational waves from pairs of supermassive black holes in merging galaxies.Scientists are also using pulsar timing arrays – specific sets of millisecond pulsars, rapidly rotating cores of stars that exploded as supernovae ­– to hunt for some kinds of gravitational waves. Millisecond pulsars sweep beams of radiation, from radio to gamma rays, past our line of sight, appearing to pulse with incredible regularity – like cosmic clocks. As long gravitational waves pass between one of these pulsars and Earth, they delay or advance the light arrival time by billionths of a second. By looking for a specific pattern of pulse variations among pulsars of an array, scientists expect they can reveal gravitational waves rolling past them.Keep ExploringDiscover More Topics From NASAGalaxiesBlack HolesStarsExoplanetsReturn to topThe National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationNASA explores the unknown in air and space, innovates for the benefit of humanity, and inspires the world through discovery.About NASA's MissionJoin UsHomeNews & EventsMultimediaNASA+MissionsHumans in SpaceEarth & ClimateThe Solar SystemThe UniverseScienceAeronauticsTechnologyLearning ResourcesAbout NASANASA en EspañolFollow NASAMore NASA Social AccountsNASA NewslettersSitemapFor MediaPrivacy PolicyFOIANo FEAR ActOffice of the IGBudget & Annual ReportsAgency Financial ReportsContact NASAAccessibilityPage Last Updated:2 weeks agoPage Editor:SMD Content EditorsResponsible NASA Official for Science:Dana Bolles

What Is a Meteor Shower? | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids
Bring blankets, a sleeping bag, and a thermos of something warm to drink. Hot chocolate, perhaps? 
Lie down and get warm and cozy. Let your eyes relax and try not to look at any particular spot. This way, your eyes will be more likely to notice any movement and you will see more meteors this way.
Most importantly, be patient! If you are lucky, you might see a meteor as often as every few minutes. You may not see one that often. The quality of the "show" depends on the specific meteor shower, the time you are observing, the conditions of the sky, the phase of the moon, and other things.
ATV Safety Training
Below is a list of the SVRA training sites:

Clay Pit SVRA, Oroville
Prairie City SVRA, Rancho Cordova
Carnegie SVRA, Tracy
Hollister Hills SVRA, Hollister
Hungry Valley SVRA, Gorman
Ocotillo Wells SVRA, Borrego Springs
Heber Dunes SVRA, Heber

Courses are predominately scheduled on weekends. Contact ATV Safety Institute for available dates and locations.

How much will the ATV safety training course cost?
Training is free in most cases. Money from the OHMVR Trust Fund have been dedicated through a contract with Specialty Vehicle Institute of America (SVIA) and the ATV Safety Institute (ASI) to assist in developing safe riding habits and proper trail etiquette.
What curriculum is covered in the ATV safety training course?
The half-day class is conducted by certified ASI instructors and offers riders the opportunity to increase their understanding of basic ATV operation and safety riding techniques in a controlled environment under the direct supervision of a certified instructor.Students practice safe riding techniques with hands-on exercises:

Starting and stopping
Turning (both gradual and quick)
Negotiating hills
Quick stops and swerving
Riding over obstacles

The course also covers:

Pre-ride inspections
Recommended protective gear (DOT approved helmets, gloves, over-ankle boots, goggles, long pants, long-sleeve shirts or jackets, etc.)
Environmental concerns
Local laws

Each successful student receives an ATV RiderCourseSM completion card immediately following the class and an ATV RiderCourseSM Handbook which reinforces the safety information and riding techniques covered during the class. ATV safety training certificates are mailed to the successful students at a later date, while the ATV RiderCourseSM completion card suffices until the certificate is received.NOTE: A person in possession of an appropriate safety certificate issued under the authority of another state satisfies the condition for operation of an ATV in California.
Do I have to bring my own ATV?

In most cases you must bring your own age and size appropriate ATV. 
Loaner ATVs may be available at some training sites. You must contact ATV Safety Institute in advance to make arrangements for loaner ATVs.

What are the guidelines for age and size appropriate ATVs?
