the sun is moving from east to coast, how in the world can it be going in a wrong direct, the sun rising, the moon right here and the shadow over oregon. about a half hour ago, that shadow over -- as we move you ahead to about an hour from now, this shadow will be all the way over charleston, south carolina, so in effect the shadow is going the wrong direction, though if you ask an astronomer, it's going going in the right direction. eventually out to seize. there's a cruise ship in the ocean, just sitting there waiting for the sun to get blocked by the moon. just the gasps from the crowd. you know, people who knew what to expect, they had been waiting for it a long time. this isn't supposed to happen. all of a sudden the sun said in the middle of the day. you have to understand some of these people have been planning this. a group of japanese tourists since had been planning it since 2011. they had every lined up now for six year. pimplgts it's interesting, you get to the point of totality, and then you basically get the mirror image. we have a little sliver of the move still touching t

it's the same sun. you shouldn't look at the sun any day and you don't. when you -- you see it, oh -- you can see spots in your eyes. today people are wanting to look at it to see this cress rcht and y cre crescent. it's worse than doing it on a normal day. you'll have different spots and pretend that you can look at it longer. you should look at it zero seconds today. make the box, do whatever. or just watch it on tv, because we have the best pictures. >> certainly do. extensive live coverage coming up on cnn, of course. chad, don't go too far and the others, at the air and space museum and historically, what, the first time in 99 years we've seen this type of eclipse here in the united states? >> what's really historic is that it's our eclipse alone. north america is the only land mass that this eclipse path goes over. everything else is water. >> and they've been able to predict this for a long time. >> yes. >> and predict future eclipses down the road? >> absolutely. we've been able to predict eclipses with greater and greater and greater accuracy ove

smaller than the sun. in 600 million years, scientists say at that point in time, the moon should be far enough out of our orbit that it will no longer be able to block the sun, which means there will no longer be any eclipses at all. >> shepard: i'm glad we live now. how about you? >> the next one, 35 years, 22 years, the partial things, you can catch one of those. but you know, 600 million years out, yeah, i mean, odds are slim. who knows. >> shepard: you never know. maybe your grandchildren will be around then. you'll probably be done by then. you know, stegall is in houston waiting for the planes to come back. any sign of them? >> shepard, they'll be here in about an hour. you asked jonathan glen. he did a nice you're explaining why science is science and why and researchers are interested in studying this. we're here with the most renowned scientists and they're explaining to us that when you have an event like this, the planes that -- the nasa launch from this location earlier today, that were able t

sun. so we need a large area of solar cells to capture enough of that faint sunlight to produce electrical power to operate all the systems and, in particular, that ion engine is power hungry. it takes a lot of electrical energy to ionize and accelerate xenon. so the solar arrays, wing tip to wing tip are 65 feet. that's the distance from a pitcher's mound to home plate on a professional baseball field and, in fact, if the full-sized spacecraft were here in the room with this solar array here at the front, basically at the screen, this one would reach almost all the way to the back, would reach to just about the people who are sitting at the back of the room. and for those of you who are watching this on your laptop, that's a long way. so this is really a remarkably large spacecraft. for another sense of scale, this is our main antenna, which is 5 feet in diameter, and this is how we communicate with the spacecraft even from across the solar system. this is one of our ion engines here. her

the first contact is the moment the moon in its orbit around the sun touches the edge of the sun.tact is when we hit the diamond ring when the leading edge of the moon touches the opposite side of the sun. now the moon which is larger than the sun on the sky, is continuing to move when the trailing edge touches the sun again, the second diamond ring, that is the third contact. as the sun -- as the moon completely emerges from the disk of the sun and steps off, that is the fourth contact. there are four contacts of note and the second and third are what are the most important. reporter: your natural instinct is to look at the sun but it is worth looking around and see what is happening around you. >> we have all sat under the trees like that for four and you see these mottled circles of light. it is easy to think to yourself that that is light coming through the trees. but it is actual images of the sun created by pathways through the leaves. during an eclipse, the circles of light turned in to crescents. reporter: the point is, take a moment to look around you and absorb the envir

this is the sun right here. this is the sun being blocked by a disk. but when you see the coronal mass ejection come this way it's like looking at somebody blowing smoke ring at you, you know, it's coming and you know, it's on its way. that's the same idea, same kind of smoke ring that we're seeing. so yes, we have more than one still coming. so overnight, a big ones still landing on the earth's atmosphere. and we are still seeing that really bright colorful cloud all the way around. on the globe. typically, the only place you're not seeing it is where it's sunny, where the sun is already come up and you can't see it, but it was very, very spectacular somewhere around i would say maybe one z, one zulu time greenwich mean time somewhere around 9:00 okay. not quite 9:00 on the east coast of the us, but it was still light. we couldn't see it in north america. but another one and then another one and another one. this is still going to be going for quite some time. this is what the solar wind looks like and i want you to think of it like a, like the seismo

it's part of what the sun does. just explain to us what a solar storm is. >> they happen when the sun goes though high activity and they follow a cycle of more or less 11 years, and that period is when we get the maximum of energy from the sun, in the way of radiation. as we heard, and also fast particles like protons and electrons, almost 1,000 kilometres per second. this is a potential danger that we have when we receive the particles from the sun. >> solar storms have the potential to knock out the grids. mobile phones in orbit above the planet. what do we do. sending up a satellite. how does that work? >> well the way it works is it's relatively such and today we have the technology to do these things. there is a point in space between the sun and the earth where the gravity of the sun and earth meet and there's a point number one, there are five others. the number one is where the satellite is in already, and this discover satellite will go there. 1.5 million kilometres from the earth to the son, a tenth of the

the more data we collect about the sun the more we can learn about the sun., though there are two important things. one is the early warning capability we'll get from this ed. we'll have up to 60 minutes notice of a very intense solar magnetic storm heading our way. at the same sometime we have this beautiful 24-hour view of earth that they lows us to better track weather systems on the surface and that early warning always turns into saved lives. so those are really, really big important points. >> would this help us in our solar technology? the way that is advancing? and has advanced in this country and the manufacturing of it and whatnot globally? would this advance that? >> you know, given that there are two different types of operating systems for electrical generation on board the spacecraft and what we might use here on earth, one might not say there isn't much connection but when you look at the way in which spacecraft is powered with close proximity to the sun or inner solar system solar panels really do work very well. there's to reason why we shoul

it could revolutionize the way the sun create electricity. the latest frontier for solar power. >> these projects are really where you can push the boundaries, and demonstrate what the technology is >>> the technology works by concentrating sunlight on a single point. the liquid is heated to extreme temperatures, almost 600 degrees celsius, creating steam. that drives a turbine at high speed and pressure, to create power. the steam and turbine part of the technology is not new. it's the use of the sun's energy to create the steam to power it is that is. >> some of the 90% comes, expanding and creating it. all we are going is changing the front end and having a concentrated sun making the hot fluid, replacing heat for example coming from goal or gas. >> the potential is enormous. it wouldn't take huge areas of land to create big quantities of power. >> this is a protio type. the hope is that there could be feeds of mirrors. one 50km by 50km could provide newer electricity for a quarter of all australians needs. >> at the moment the technology

>> yes >> the sun's bright.bill yeah >> a stone is a very bright object and our eyes are just not up. now, we've all, i claim, we ball who's able-bodied glanced at the sun. i played the outfield so a fly ball, you'll be look up at the sun for a moment. but when you really want to observe the eclipse, you just human nature being what it is. you just want to stare at and so that's where there's danger. but here in texas, we all had our official size and weight, solar eclipse glasses nice and it was a great time was had by all the moon goes around the earth every month. so why our solar eclipse is so rare? >> so rare is a relative term first of all, the main reason, but i think you're driving at the earth orbits the sun in what we call the plane the solar system, the plane of the ecliptic that's all the traditional planets are in about the same table, top in space, but the moon is a little tilted relative to the earth's equator, rotated relative to the earth's tabletop motion around the sun and so it has to line up

like this if the skies clear and the atmosphere of the sun the sun coronna is very hot and not clearts this very high temperature but certainly we are emersed in the solar coronna and it's the way the sun has to communicate with the storms and all then guy -- this energy and it's important to know because eclipse are the best way to do that in a very cheap way. >> great to talk to you and thanks indeed for being with us. >> pleasure. >>> producers of the new bond movie currently filming denied they gave mexico government a license to kill parts of their script and hacked e-mails are said to show changes were made in return for tax incentives worth millions. >> reporter: mexico city the scene where james bond will hunt down international as assassain and they make mexico look good with aerial shots and cast a mexican bond girl and make sure the villian and his target are not mexican according to e-mails done deal. producer deny changes were made from mexican officials but said they relied on government help. >> government helps us get commissions and helping us with getting cooperatio

we're third from the sun, venus is second from the sun, and we can see it once in a really, really rarecoots between us and the sun that we both go around. our boy edmond haley predicted that if we measured that, if we counted how much of time it took for this movement of venus across the sun, which we can see, we could figure out how far we are from the sun and how far we are from other planets and how far those other planets are from the sun. we could figure out how big the whole kit and caboodle is. we could calculate in a cosmic sense where we are, all from the transit of venus, that briefest transit across the giant sun of little itty-bitty venus. from such a little thing comes such a huge thing to know. how big the universe that we're in is, or at least our solar system. the transit of venus happens rarely. edmond haley died without ever seeing one, didn't happen until half a century after his theory was published. but his theory is right. the last time this event happened before this century was in the 1800s. but it is about to happen again. since we are the kind of tv show that

for a couple of minutes when the sun and moon are perfectly aligned, the moon completely covers the sun'sosphere can be seen in the dim light with stars and planets. this glowing atmosphere is much hotter than the surface of the sun, but no one is sure why. it's a question puzzling astronomers. this so-called totality exists in a narrow band when the moon's shadow falls on the earth. outside the zone, some can see a partial eclipse, where it looks like a chunk has been taken out of the sun. it's not a phenomenon that will last forever. the moon is slowly moving away from the earth, and one day it will appear too small in the sky to cover the sun completely. but nasa estimates that you still have 563 million years to catch one if you miss this one. if you're luckily enough to see this remember, never look directly at the sun. even if everyday sunglasses. you risk causing permanent damage to your eyes. if you don't have access to special filters, a safe pay to observe is to make a pinhole on paper and protect the image on another sheet. >> and they call this the perfect trifecta. >> we have

we are third from the sun, venus is second from the sun, and we can see it once in a rare while as it the sun that we both go around. our boy edmond halle predicted if we pressure that and counted how much time it took for the movement of veep must across the sun, that we can see, we can figure out how far we are from the sun and how far we are from other planets and how far the other planets are from the sun. we can figure out how big the whole kitten caboodle is. we can calculate in a cosmic sense where we all are all from the briefest transit across the giant sun of it ty bit ty little venus. from such a little thing comes such a big thing to know, how big the universe is or at least our solar system. the transit of venus happens rarely. edmond halle died without seeing one. it didn't happen until half a century until he published his theory, but this theory was right and it teaches us all that stuff. the last time it happened was in the 1800s, buts the about to happen again. since we are the kind of tv show that has a really friendly in-house astrophysicist to explain things like

>> when you see an eclipse of the sun, the moon is passing from the sun and you get that dark disk.takes a bite out of the sun as it were. in this case, the earth is eclipsing the sun's rays on to the moon. the moon has in light of its own, it's reflected light. what happens is, think of it, the colors you see at sunset, as the light goes through the atmosphere of earth, it gets bounced around, separated, retracted and what ends up shining on to the moon an getting to the moon is the red range of light. and that's why you see that kind of reddish orange. now if you are a total pro, look at the beginning and the end. this is a little bit like looking for the green flash when are you looking for the sunset am will you see a blue or violet band that will appear there because as the sun passes through the ozone layer on earth, it retracts slightly differently and you get a blue tochblt get binoculars out at the beginning and end and you might catch that blue band. >> unlike the solar eclipse, this is totally safe to see. >> it's great, the best viewing because you don't have to worry ab

do we want the receivers looking into sun or the db's looking into the sun? point in the game? all those things are calculated. >> jon: do all teams prepare in that matter? the knock on certain teams, last two minutes of the game, surprising things happen and you see the other team looking around and they have to blow a couple of timeouts. they forget what is going on, they don't have time to call another play. if you don't prepare like that, is that in the crunch time areas of the game snl. >> that's what you prepare for all of these situations. why you have structure is so you can handle them. why you have leadership, why you drill. why it's important for them to be successful. we're the number one team in the league this year in the two-minute drill and it's not by accident. >> jon: are you worried that the other coaches might think to himself that guy coughlin has won a couple super bowls. let me look at that real quick. preparation. >> interesting, huh. >> jon: do you keep the secrets? are there special sauce ingredients you are not laying out there? >>

layout in the sun for hours and hours.often got really burnt, very burnt. i didn't burn very easily and there for i probably stayed in the sun longer to get a deep tan. i was famous in the family for my tan which lasted almost all year until the next summer. >> reporter: fully recovered now and still a fan of the sun. but much more careful. back in the day we didn't know about the harmful effects of the sun and in britain it didn't seem relevant and sun cream wasn't good and not available and we know a lot more now but despite that when the sunshines here people still tend to rush to the nearest park to top off on the uv. >> i think it's very difficult when we are seeing in the media pictures of celebrities on beaches and having an idea that a tan is glamorous and a happy glow and being sun burnt is anything but happy. >> reporter: it has been loud and clear for sometime but the message is not getting through to everyone and sun bed use is still on the rise, a dark tan is for many a thing to aspire to despite the increasin
