NASA solar eclipse livestream: What time does it start?

NASA STREAMING LIVE
We tell you what time the NASA solar eclipse livestream starts; know all the details of today's astronomical phenomena

On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross Mexico, the United States, and Canada. This rare event has generated great excitement, and thousands of people are preparing to observe it. NASA will be broadcasting a livestream of the total solar eclipse on April 8.

The broadcast will begin at 11:00 a.m. EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) on NASA’s YouTube channel.

During the total solar eclipse, the moon will pass between the sun and the Earth, blocking out the sun’s light. The sky will darken, and stars and planets will become visible. The sun’s corona, which is the outer layer of the sun, will also be visible.

How long will the total solar eclipse last?

The total solar eclipse will last for a maximum of 4 minutes and 26 seconds. However, the exact duration will vary depending on your location in the path of totality.

What is a solar eclipse?

An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon is near its apogee, the farthest point in its orbit from the Earth. In this position, the Moon appears smaller in the sky than the Sun. As a result, when the Moon comes between the Earth and the Sun, it does not completely cover the solar disk, leaving a bright “ring of fire” visible.

Where is the next total solar eclipse visible?

The total eclipse will be visible in a 160-kilometer-wide strip that begins in Mexico, crosses the United States from west to east, and ends in Canada.

In Mexico, the totality of the eclipse can be seen in the following states: Sinaloa, Durango, Nuevo León, and Coahuila.

In the United States, the path of the eclipse will pass through the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.

In Canada, the total eclipse can be seen in the provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island.

Eclipse Glasses

Eye safety during a solar eclipse is a primary concern, as looking directly at the sun can result in solar retinopathy. These glasses comply with the ISO 12312-2 standard, which ensures safe observation of the astronomical event.

To safely enjoy the April 8th eclipse, it is IMPORTANT to use certified solar eclipse glasses or suitable projection devices to protect your eyes. Additionally, it’s important to remember that many myths about the health effects of eclipses lack scientific basis and should not cause unnecessary concern.

The Sun emits a significant amount of ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation, which can damage the retina of the eye. The visible light from the Sun can also be harmful if looked at directly for an extended period.

While the excitement for an astronomical phenomenon is understandable, it’s essential to consider the necessary precautions to enjoy the eclipse without risking eye health.
