At the New­se­um in Wash­ing­ton, we teamed with rep­re­sen­ta­tives from oth­er fed­er­al agen­cies and sci­ence orga­ni­za­tions to delve into the sci­ence behind the upcom­ing August 21 total solar eclipse, and pro­vide details on how to safe­ly view the once-in-a-cen­tu­ry phe­nom­e­non. Dur­ing the eclipse, 14 states across the U.S. will expe­ri­ence more than two min­utes of dark­ness – while those else­where will have a par­tial eclipse. Mean­while a new eclipse For­ev­er stamp, unveiled by the U.S. Postal ser­vice changes between images of an eclipse and the moon – with the touch of a fin­ger. The eclipse and moon images were tak­en by a retired NASA astro­physi­cist. Also, Kepler Cat­a­log Includes New Plan­et Can­di­dates, Light­foot Meets with Inter­na­tion­al Part­ners, and Roll-Out Solar Array Test!
