People in parts of Southeast Asia will see the sun in a new light on March 8, 2016 EST, (March 9 local time) during a total solar eclipse that will last over a minute in every location on its path.
As the moon passes precisely between the sun and Earth – a relatively rare occurrence that happens only about once a year because of the fact that the moon and the sun do not orbit in the exact same plane – it will block the sun’s bright face, revealing the tenuous and comparatively faint solar atmosphere, the corona.
NASA, in partnership with the Exploratorium Science Center in San Francisco, will host activities around the March 8 total solar eclipse, including opportunities to talk with solar scientists and live coverage of the eclipse originating from Woleai island in Micronesia.
Education:
Include this event into your science curriculum. Let your students participate in all the activities. Talking with solar scientists, watching the live coverage of the eclipse following the NASA media will be an exciting live lesson.
Teachers and students: For solar eclipse video resources, visit: NASA Eclipse.
