Solar Week

If you were looking down at Earth from the International @Space_Station, you would notice that our planet is surrounded by a faint, multicolored glow. This airglow happens where Earth meets space. go.nasa.gov/38C85EH

Today, people in parts of the Northern Hemisphere saw a partial or annular solar eclipse! 🌙 Here are a few of our photos from the East Coast. flickr.com/photos/nasahqp… #SolarEclipse Did you see the eclipse? Show us your photos!

“This work was the very first use of the ICON tidal wind product. The product allowed Xinzhao’s team to calculate the flow of metal ions over Boulder. It’s a great example of how these tides seem to affect everything in space near Earth.” —Thomas Immel, PI of the ICON Mission.

Check out this unusual sight on the sun!

Follow along with @NASA_Wallops for updates on tonight’s VIPER sounding rocket launch from Virginia. 🚀 nasa.gov/wallops/2021/f… Learn more about the ionosphere, the dynamic region VIPER will study. ⬇️

Our solar system is filled with a sea of charged particles that flow out from the Sun, called the solar wind. To accompany Earth’s journey sailing this celestial ocean, some of our scientists banded together on a heliophysics sea shanty. 🌊⛵️ Sing along: youtu.be/LP3qzKGh1AM

@fj_wallace Really cool!

ME 03/30/21-Animated GIF of the large Prominence seen in previous images over an hour. 80 final images, each created from 500 images. Windy so not all images are sharp. Note small proms on rt and lt. #NASASolarWeek

Isn't this stunning?

#NASASolarWeek is over until next fall, but there were some great kids' questions answered by our scientists on the online bulletin board: tinyurl.com/mavy43b4

Wow, Solar Week had a really dynamic panel discussion yesterday on diversity in science. The webinar was live, but you can watch it on YouTube: youtu.be/_8ZdMDq4TMo

Today is the #SpringEquinox in the Northern Hemisphere! The twice-yearly equinoxes mark the points in Earth’s orbit when the Sun shines directly on the equator with nearly equal lengths of day and night. Read more: go.nasa.gov/30Yo7VH
