“wow you’re so mature for your age!!?!?!?!!?!!?!?!!!!”
thanks, i raised me myself
ah fuck
I planned for the eclipse for months. My grandparents and I spent good money for a hotel room just outside the path of totality and used our connections with the rich and powerful to get to a beautiful view from a secluded mountain resort in western North Carolina. But when the time came, the sky clouded over in a seemingly contemptuous mockery of the wealthy people below. So, in pursuit of the eclipse, we drove down the 276 searching for a cloudless area. We stopped several times, each of which resulted in the cloud covering the sun once more, as totality inched closer. At last, we finally came to park in a Baptist church parking lot in Traveler's Rest, South Carolina. There with us was the church's black preacher and another eclipse chaser, no one else. We watched in stunned silence as, moments from a complete blackout of the sun, the clouds returned. Our outing seemed doomed to fail, money and time lost. But at last, by the grace of God, the clouds parted and onto us onlookers was projected the most magical image I have ever seen. A cosmic alignment of unbelievable proportions and immortal beauty. The three of us, an African ordained man of god with an Atlanta drawl, an amateur scientist from Seattle, and a bleached-blonde armchair theologian from rural New York, were united only in our witnessing of celestial majesty. Certainly we shall never see each other again, but that event, the DAY OF BLACK SUN, will remain with us forever.
i fORGOT MY LAPTOP WAS HOOKED UP TO THE STEREO SYSTEM SO THIS JUST PLAYED IN EVERY ROOM OF MY HOUSE OH MY GOD
[TO THE TUNE OF “PON PON PON - Kyary Pamyu Pamyu”] (Music fades in) Tabun sonnan ja dame desho Oh yea Mr Krabs oh yea oh yea Mr Krabs oh yea Mr Krabs oh yea oh yea Mr Krabs oh yea Mr Krabs oh yea oh yea Mr Krabs oh yea Mr Krabs oh yea oh yea Mr Krabs Krab Krab AHH AHH AHH Krab Krab AHH Krab AHH Krab Krab Krab Krab AHH AHH AHH Krab Krab AHH Krab AHH Krab Krab Krab Krab AHH AHH AHH Krab Krab AHH Krab AHH Krab Krab Oh yea Mr Krabs (Music slowly fades out)
I don’t know what you would call that scream, but a simple “AHH” does not cover it.
WHY DOES T HIS PIECE OF SHIT HAVE 99K FUCKING NOTES NOT A DAY GOES BY I DONT REGRET MAKING THIS POST I HATE ALL OF YOU AND IM NUKING MY COMPUTER FROM ORBIT
IT’S FINALLY BACK!!
Eclipse 2017: A Unique Chance for Science
On Aug. 21, the Moon will cast its shadow down on Earth, giving all of North America the chance to see a solar eclipse. Within the narrow, 60- to 70-mile-wide band stretching from Oregon to South Carolina called the path of totality, the Moon will completely block out the Sun’s face; elsewhere in North America, the Moon will cover only a part of the star, leaving a crescent-shaped Sun visible in the sky.
Find eclipse times for your location with our interactive version of this map.
A total solar eclipse happens somewhere on Earth about once every 18 months. But because Earth’s surface is mostly ocean, most eclipses are visible over land for only a short time, if at all. The Aug. 21 total solar eclipse is different – its path stretches over land for nearly 90 minutes, giving scientists an unprecedented opportunity to make scientific measurements from the ground.
No matter where you are, it is never safe to look directly at the partially eclipsed or uneclipsed Sun. Make sure you’re prepared to watch safely, whether that’s with solar viewing glasses, a homemade pinhole projector, or online with us at nasa.gov/eclipselive.
Within the path of totality, the Moon will completely obscure the Sun’s face for up to 2 minutes and 40 seconds, depending on location. This will give people within the path of totality a glimpse of the innermost reaches of the Sun’s corona, the outer region of the atmosphere that is thought to house the processes that kick-start much of the space weather that can influence Earth, as well as heating the whole corona to extraordinarily high temperatures.
In fact, scientists got their first hint at these unusually high temperatures during the total solar eclipse of 1869, when instruments detected unexpected light emission. It was later discovered that this emission happens when iron is stripped of its electrons at extremely high temperatures.
This region of the Sun’s atmosphere can’t be measured at any other time, as human-made instruments that create artificial eclipses must block out much of the Sun’s atmosphere – as well as its bright face – in order to produce clear images.
We’re funding six science investigations to study the Sun’s processes on Aug. 21. Teams will spread out across the path of totality, focusing their instruments on the Sun’s atmosphere. One team will use a pair of retro-fitted WB-57F jets to chase the Moon’s shadow across the eastern US, extending the time of totality to more than 7 minutes combined, up from the 2 minutes and 40 seconds possible on the ground.
Our scientists are also using the Aug. 21 eclipse as a natural science experiment to study how Earth’s atmosphere reacts to the sudden loss of solar radiation within the Moon’s shadow.
One region of interest is Earth’s ionosphere. Stretching from roughly 50 to 400 miles above Earth’s surface, the tenuous ionosphere is an electrified layer of the atmosphere that reacts to changes from both Earth below and space above and can interfere with communication and navigation signals.
The ionosphere is created by ionizing radiation from the Sun. When totality hits on Aug. 21, we’ll know exactly how much solar radiation is blocked, the area of land it’s blocked over and for how long. Combined with measurements of the ionosphere during the eclipse, we’ll have information on both the solar input and corresponding ionosphere response, enabling us to study the mechanisms underlying ionospheric changes better than ever before.
The eclipse is also a chance for us to study Earth’s energy system, which is in a constant dance to maintain a balance between incoming radiation from the Sun and outgoing radiation from Earth to space, called the energy budget. Like a giant cloud, the Moon during the 2017 total solar eclipse will cast a large shadow across a swath of the United States.
Our scientists already know the dimensions and light-blocking properties of the Moon, and will use ground and space instruments to learn how this large shadow affects the amount of sunlight reaching Earth’s surface, especially around the edges of the shadow. This will help develop new calculations that improve our estimates of the amount of solar energy reaching the ground, and our understanding of one of the key players in regulating Earth’s energy system — clouds.
Learn all about the Aug. 21 eclipse at eclipse2017.nasa.gov, and follow @NASASun on Twitter and NASA Sun Science on Facebook for more. Watch the eclipse through the eyes of NASA at nasa.gov/eclipselive starting at 12 PM ET on Aug. 21.

yum yum the moon shall vore the sun
FUCKIN STOP
i can’t wait to see the moon slowly devour the sun on Monday, August 21st, then eject its hot burning mass from its body once again. yum yum vore the sun.
jesus fuck angela dont talk about planetary bodies in sexual fetish terms. “vore the sun”?? bruh why not bondage the asteroid belt or yiff the moon?? disgusting.
Don’t tell me not to fetishize space when you suggest how to fetishize space
yum yum vore the sun
i have only one thing to say:
