koehn: i am team sun, team sun all day long.: we want to thank the city of russellville for hosting us. now, let's get back to james over at kid center. james back to you. james: yeah. thanks so much, jasmine. you can see that shadow has officially moved off and is on our way to our next target, which is us here in carbondale, which is one of those lucky cities, because in 2017 they were right at the intersection point of the 2017 includes across america. they are there again this year. they will have a much longer spot. in 2017, they only had 2:14, but now they have 4:10, a great viewing window for them to take in this big moment. also some details about this tool is welcome if i click onto their eclipse time, you notice this little icon comes up here. if this is based off of real data from the parker solar probe. as you've heard, the sun is more active this time around. lots of different streamers, like a wild hairball, streaking off the sun. really collectivity around the sun's corona. if you're really lucky and the timing is

active sun, the spf factor must be at least 50, it is impossible to produce more than 50, the sun protection radiation; unfortunately, more than this percentage is not possible. for the winter period, or during use, for example, for those people who work for a long time behind monitor screens computers, yes, because blue light from monitor screens also has, yes, damages the skin and causes photoaging, that is, those who sit at the computer must use spf cream if this is the main time of work, if it is more than 2 hours a day, and we don’t want... like all women, to grow old, we want to remain young and beautiful for a long time, yes, our skin receives this damaging effect, including from blue light. and now, it seems to me, it’s time to look at how spf products work? my colleague, having learned that the cream is needed apply to everyone, including men, i decided to test the effect of the cream on myself. let's see the plot. filters are the main component of sunscreens, in fact they work as a reflective element, that is , the sun’s rays will not reach the skin protected by the cream, it will

the sun's shimmering atmosphere.ch we can see from earth during a total solar eclipse. this which we can see from earth during a total solar eclipse.— total solar eclipse. this new data from this very — total solar eclipse. this new data from this very incredibly - total solar eclipse. this new data from this very incredibly close i from this very incredibly close approach to the sun, just touching the surface of that corona is going to hopefully give us a lot more information about exactly what is going on in our beautiful, beautiful sun that heats up and gives us light. sun that heats up and gives us liuht. , , �*, ., . light. close up the sun's magnetic field twists _ light. close up the sun's magnetic field twists and _ light. close up the sun's magnetic field twists and lifts _ light. close up the sun's magnetic field twists and lifts its _ light. close up the sun's magnetic field twists and lifts its explosive l field twists and lifts its explosive surface. it's hoped the solar probe will shed light on the proc

back then the idea was to dive into the sun rather than or at the sun. this won't be a sun dive. >> wow, that is fabulous. very full circle bullet for you. >> absolutely brilliant. the diamond ring, wait a minute that is pink. what we are actually seeing is into the chroma sphere now have the sun receiving it a little deeper than the corona. i believe, i believe because the pinkish colored were looking to the chroma sphere which is the next layer of the atmosphere of the sun down. >> oh wow. >> wow. nothing like we will see for the next two decades, right patrick? what will be 21 years of receipt again here. >> as a sign to exit the totality will be very careful with her eyes if needed. we'll put the solar glasses back on of course. the crowd erupting falling quite again is that what just this magnificent moment. >> imagine that to the airport. >> boo will be very careful and why is that? those nocturnal animals are coming out regrets as far as they're concerned it's nighttime, it's time to feed their coming out to feed and the mosquitoes we will be swat

in places along that path people will be able to view the sun's corona, the outer atmosphere of the sun which usually is not visible or distinctive because of the sun's brightness. it will be in lots of places across the root come along that route talking to correspondents to bring you all of the atmosphere from those watch parties. you are watching the world today as be built up to the total solar eclipse. it will start up in the cook islands in the pacific and then head across to mexico across 13 us states and make its way up into canada. this is the route where people will be plunged into darkness as the moon passes between the sun and earth. totally covering up the face of the sun. in other areas around this, people will see a partial eclipse, but it is this total solar eclipse that will be our focusing on. we will take you, if you are not in one of those locations and watching the eclipse safely through special glasses, we have got you absolutely covered because we will be talking to our correspondence along that route known as the path of totality. that is the route on the map on

koehn: i am team sun, team sun all day long. i figured from a helio physics expert like you. we want to thank the city of russellville for hosting us. our telescope feed operator. now, let's get back to james over at the kennedy center. james, back to you. james: yeah. thanks so much, jasmine. you can see that shadow has now officially moved off and is on our way to our next target, which is us here in carbondale, -- up here in carbondale, which is one of those lucky cities, because in 2017, they were right at the intersection point of the 2017 eclipse across america. they are there again this year. they will have a much longer slot. in 2017, they only had 2:14, but now, they will have 4:10, a really great viewing window for them to take in this big moment. very exciting to track that for them as well. also some details about this tool is, if i click onto the eclipse time, you notice this little icon comes up here. this is based off of real data from the parker solar probe. as you've heard, the sun is more active this time aroun

sun.last time this happened in the continental us was 2017. so not so long ago. but the next time it's going to happen is not until the 2040s. so a long time from now. so this is a really unique chance to see the moon completely block the sun. >> certainly such a cool event. i was there in kentucky actually in 2017, so we were very close to totality there, and it was a remarkable event to be able to witness. let's talk about the timing of when we can expect to see the eclipse here in the bay area, and how long it will last on monday. >> oh, i don't remember the exact time it's going to be at the bay area on monday. i apologize uh- for that, but the whole event lasts, close to an hour as the, moon goes in front of the sun and starts to block it. of course, in the bay area, we're not going to have, totality. that is the moon completely blocking the sun. but it's still a pretty amazing thing to see happen as the disk of the moon slowly crosses the sun, it becomes dark, nature starts to take n

the first is sun sketcher and utilizes a smartphone to size oe sun.sed on the atmosphere called globe observers. observes things like temperature to understand the effect of the eclipse on atmosphere and clouds. the third project is the soundscape where you ask form eclipse and the sounds you experienced during it. these are a few of the ways to engage with the eclipse and nasa science. it is not just a stunning visual experience and i hope that you will join us in these discoveries. thank you. faith: now we will hear from associate administrator about how nasa is bringing the excitement of the solar eclipse to you with a few safety reminders. jim: thank you. i know about you, but i remember where i was during the last total solar eclipse and i'm excited about this one understa. nikki fox will hold me accountable. i think the wrong remark is up. thank you so much for joining us today. i appreciate the opportunity to share with you some of these things to be safe about and i turn the administrator and my condolences to everyone affected.ng the eclipse

the sun is 93 million miles away. so this shot that you're getting in cleveland is now it starts to pop out on the other side and i think -- every color, every city has a different -- this is -- so that's properly. >>> i would call it -- it's a beautiful area. you can see the sky very clearly and properly, new york. is a beautiful part of the country. >> bill: so now you move up to malbrough falls and erie, pennsylvania. >>> enough to the northern reaches, northern -- northeastern reaches of the u.s. and then it moves on to canada and, you know, we are not changing. what you see right now is what we see here in new york at 3:19, 3:20 in the afternoon. >> martha: the weird thing is it happens a lot in new york because the buildings are total sometimes the sunblocks -- and it suddenly gets dark. >> bill: i heard some horns so the camera didn't get them -- >> martha: yeah, this is an unusual experience though, watching this market is getting really dark. the sky is different. is definitely looking like it that when it's

the sliver of the sun returning.nk we are going to soon be reaching a point where once again it's not safe to look at. it was hard to see us probably because we have our camera lights up. during those moments of totality, i absolutely was looking straight up into the sky and looking at the magnificent white and bluish ring that you are describing. i find it just fascinating that we lucked out. it was not looking good. we have been standing out here since 7:00 this morning doing our live shots looking anxiously at the weather. even at the top of the hour as we are approaching totality, it wasn't looking that good. maybe 50/50 as a big chunk of clouds was totally covering the sun. it is just what everyone was hoping for and all that wishful thinking. off almost as if it was timed out on few. mother nature took her queue and move those clouds out of the sky. it is wide open and through space now as we are starting to finally see the sun starting to reemerge around the side -- a while back. >> aishah: you are speechless.

when the sun is less active in. with the sun is more active. we are entering a time of solar maximum that's really exciting it means the sun is more active in its magnetic fields are more dynamic. we may see features here such as streamers which look like little spiky wisps in the sun's atmosphere recalled the corona. in the prominent which look like peak marks on the surface of the sun. we are really excited to see this. we hope will see some really interesting features there may be asymmetry as wellin the magnetic fields i don't know maybe we'll have to find out in about an hour. >> the son is a changing do those changes affect life on earth at all? >> yes the sun does affect live here on earth we have a turn we call space weather which applies to the field of study of everything from the sun, to the earth and in between and how that affects life here. we are fortunate on earth which should those explosions that come from the sun that we talked about. those sun occurrences like the aurora there can be negative side effects. they're mostly lim

out the sun. i want to mention it safety of what we are doing. the safety of what you need to be doing. only looking with your classes. the safety of what you do when driving. also what you need to remember about the inspiration you can take from this eclipse. let me turn it over to faith. >> thank you all so much. that brings us to the q and a portion of today's conference. we have a few media with us in the room and also the phone lines. i do ask that you please focus your question to the solar eclipse and identify to whom your question is directed. i'll start first with the media before we kick it over to the phone lines. if so, we have mics in the room for you. >> ki, -- karina bianchi -- >> hi, karina bianca with supreme spectrum news. how has nasa's technology changed since the last solar eclipse? >> well, i'll give you one very good example. in 2018, we launched the parker solar probe. in addition to everything that we are going to learn from this experience in a week and half when the moon

the sun demonstrated the greatest activity in more than 20 years. the average number of spots exceeded 200 for the first time since september 2001. then, high activity preceded the most powerful solar flare in the history of instrumental observations. 2024 is not over yet, more than 40 flares have already occurred on the sun the highest x-class, and we literally felt many of them: at least 25 magnetic storms rolled across the earth, and even now the magnetosphere is stormy, and this is not yet the maximum solar activity, geophysicists expect that its peak will fall in mid-2025, does this mean that we will have even more magnetic storms in the coming months, what is the probability of a superstorm occurring on earth, where? what circumstances must be in place for this to happen and what physical processes underlie the formation of sunspots, this is a question of science, i am alexander gasnikov, rector of the university of enopolis, our guest is maria abunina, presenter, research fellow from miran, head of the center for space weather forecasts, cand

what active zones are currently observed on the sun?l there are coronal holes, they are really less active now, they are smaller in area, they are less speed, they do not lead to significant geomagnetic disturbances, there are of course active regions, these are the same sunspots that are grouped in... areas, and these active regions are now quite large areas happen, they have big flares, there are quite a lot of them, they have been the main sources of geomagnetic disturbances for the last couple of years, in mid-may of this year the sun had its biggest flare in recent times, but for this cycle, because no no not for all time, of course, for the last cycle, that's as far as i understand the size. the spot that was observed, it was , i think, 7 billion km, which is about 14 times larger than the surface area of ​​the earth, it caught us very well and there was a very beautiful, large magnetic storm, and even according to some according to the indicators it has been extreme over the last 20 years, not by all, yes, but by some it was even

look at the smiling sun. say hello to tomorrow, hello to the future, look to the smiling sun, say hello to tomorrow, hello to the future. you saw that there is no wolf and you, the hope of a stranger's companionship was the same when you saw that your trap is enough for us to open a time when these wheels turn . warm together, the houses will be warm when we build and plant. let's build a heart and make an iranian song, let's break the warlord with your greatness and your son, the tomorrow is beautiful, whatever you win in mirafi is a rent, the roof you build is beautiful for us , this is the city. when you see the hand of my house , it is a stranger, it is a mother, you cannot count with many hands i can't build this house with my own hands, chinese is foreign to my mother, we can do brotherhood and sisterhood in the ballot boxes and vote for reform, and not to change the flags. god willing, in the last hour, i invite people to show their participation. the person you are making is beautiful. . the world has

an amazing achievement but so close to the sun. haw but so close to the sun. it not _ but so close to the sun. how did it not melt?! _ but so close to the sun. how did it not melt?! obviously, | but so close to the sun. how did it not melt?! obviously, it was designed not to melt. it has an experimental heat shield that keeps all the instruments at room temperature. quite where this room is on earth, one can only wonder! but it has worked. just because you build something, it doesn't necessarily mean it will succeed. it has succeeded, and this is a huge triumph for nasser, now, we are waiting for these results to show exactly how some of the processes of the sun work. what sort of temperatures are we talking about? it is not just the temperatures but the radiation as well. there are a whole string of numbers that are fairly meaningless, but it is extremely hot. the sun's surface is about 500 times cooler than the atmosphere, which can be up to 3 million celsius. why that happens, nobody knows. why the sun spits out charged particles called the solar wind, no o

the sun newsroom felt like a war room., it was frantic, real commercial pressure, we had to sell better than our rivals. we had to do better than our rivals. we were told on days where the mirror had got a great front page that heads will roll and somebody is going to have to be sacked for this because we should have had that, not the mirror. always, it was about exclusives, because it was the exclusive stories that sold the paper. four years after they were married, sir paul mccartney and heather mills are splitting up. of course it was never going to be a quiet life, marrying a former beatle, but in a statement today the couple said the level of intrusion into their private lives had been so great, it made a normal relationship almost impossible. paul mccartney was untouchable because he was paul mccartney. national treasure, and nobody wants to pick up a paper that is slagging him off, simple. so heather mills kind of went through this, quite literally, honeymoon period. but when their relationship hit the rocks and it

we have some sun.broken clouds and from time to time you hear the crowd erupt, with triplets like the isaacson's from los angeles are watching the eclipse. we have the gerard's from arizona. say high matt, guys. this park is filled with people, families from all over the world and they are getting little glimpses of what we all came here for. it's very exciting. we thought it was going to be completely cloudy, but the clouds are breaking and we feel good about this. guys. >> norah: janet, you know that's my neck of the woods, kerrville right by san antonio. >> i do, and maybe it's your influence, norah, but it's been really exciting to hear the people cheering and to then it gets quiet again and then the cheers. it's going to be amazing. >> tony: janet, that such good news, kerrville, you should go there, norah, the longest totality on the u.s.? it's something like 4:20. >> you nailed it, tony. 4 minutes and 24 seconds. there will be a lot of totality for you coming up. >> norah: got it, kerrville is a

us than the sun.o while other planets have moons, we are the only ones who just so happen to have this specific moon at this specific distance. so we are the only ones who get to see this, which makes it wonderful, actually wonderful, as in full of wonder. just listen to how we've talked about it since we've had tv. >> totality caught most of them unprepared for what they were seeing. >> look at the colors. >> only a few will ever see more than once in a lifetime. >> it's fantastic. it's amazing. >> i don't know, it's a very spiritual experience. it is to me anyway. >> i've never seen anything like this before. i would like to see it again. >> i thought it was beautiful. that's all i can say. >> we wouldn't have missed it for anything. >> we are now in a virtual total eclipse of the sun. i got to be honest, craig, i have the chills. >> i was talking to a scientist who did on the average, an eclipse will happen in the same place perhaps every 360 years, and i was just wondering, thinking about what thi

you can still see the sun. that's pretty fantastic. all right. so clearly we've got a lot still to cover this morning. so you want to keep it to the kron. 4. we also have on our website just while i'm thinking of it, a list of the various watch parties that are happening. so if you are like, i let me go some place right now in watch. go to kron 4 dot com. again, we've got that list. we talk about the exploratory and we know this watch parties in berkeley and >> scattered throughout the bay area as well. so definitely check that out. we're going to be following all these various cameras throughout the morning. as we watch for this eclipse to slowly take hold over the course of the next >> hour or so. i think it was what wasn't living get 11, at the peak, ok? so we've got a little less than an hour before we reach our maximum eclipse for the day. so stay tuned. we'll be back with more coverage in just a couple of minutes. all right. we are back here on the kron 4 morning news still talking all things total solar eclipse because it is happening as w

we have never had a human—made object so close to the sun. has this heat shield that holds the instruments at room temperature and keeps the heat of the sun away, and these are just amazing feats, and so it's so amazing that we were so close and really getting to measure in detail this material up close. lift—off of the mighty delta iv heavy rocket... there have been many missions to study the sun but there's so much more we can learn — especially the sun's atmosphere, which we can see from earth shimmering during a total solar eclipse. this new data from this very, incredibly close approach to the sun, just touching the surface of that corona, is going to hopefully give us a lot more information about exactly what's going on in our beautiful, beautiful sun that heats up and gives us light. by getting so close, the probe will enable scientists to see how the sun's powerful magnetic field twists and lifts material to create solar flares. this may help them understand why the sun's atmosphere is so much hotter than its surface. and how it emits

this probe will tell us about the sun's - tell us about the sun's magnetic field in very close proximityt. the sun's magnetic field is so important for us to understand, all of the planets of the solar system sit within the sun's magnetic field, it influences all of the planets, life on earth as well, it will sample the solar winds, this constant stream of charged particles emanating from the surface of the sun. we don't understand how the magnetic field of the sun is created, we don't know where it comes from, and we don't know how these charged particles start almost stationary on the surface of the sun and then are accelerated to 1 million the sun and then are accelerated to1 million mph, and we need to understand this, because they make up space weather. and the space weather impacts our life on earth, not just with the beautiful northern lights or the southern lights, the aurora which we have enjoyed so much this year, it also impacts our satellites. a really strong solar storm when we have a big explosion of material on the surface of the sun that barrels towards earth, that can ev

so it doesn't cover the sun completely. that's uh and you get this, this sort of ring of fire around the outside of, of, of, of the shadow of the moon. i think that we're seeing the grounds now. it looks like complete and utter dark arts. things right now, let me just ask my producer what that is. that is this is this also indianapolis that we're seeing right now. this is, this is moving into a, this is the partial eclipse. yes. or the aspect that we talked about as it, as the moon slowly crosses the sun. actually it's not, it's not moving all that slowly. it's, you know, this, the shadow of the cast on the earth, the totality is moving along. this, this strip at about just under 2 and a half 1000 kilometers an hour. so it's nicely fast. it's pretty fast and, and the, that the amount of time that somebody who's on the ground will spend in the shadow of this totality. so in this total darkness is only about 3 and a half to 4 minutes. this is what, which is what we are seeing right here. now this one was in was yeah, right no

well, the sun is shining here and he _ william? well, the sun is shining here and he got _ william?l, the sun is shining here and he got a _ william? well, the sun is shining here and he got a very _ william? well, the sun is shining here and he got a very warm - william? well, the sun is shining - here and he got a very warm welcome. he hasjust left at here and he got a very warm welcome. he has just left at this hospital, here and he got a very warm welcome. he hasjust left at this hospital, a community hospital here in the isles of scilly. he was asked by one member of staff how princess kate was doing, he recently announced that she was undergoing cancer treatment. the response was that she was doing really well. there was also a member of staff here who has served 50 years working for the nhs and that member of staff gave him an letter that had been written by her granddaughter. that lecture basically wished the king and princess kate is well. many people i have spoken to here today who have met the prince said it was a real honour to meet him. he showed great

so you're going to hear the lyric the moon has eclipsed the sun. it's gonna be very, very cool, about 30,000 people, they're expecting here at the great lakes science center. this is also home cleveland to the glenn research center. it's the only nasa facility that is in the path of totality. so nasa has a very, very big contingent here. the entire city, they're calling, calling it the blackout to remember the entire city just looking forward to this one, it is going to be a great day. bell >> all right. miguel marquez, that sounds so great. you've gone to plenty of uno here of the generation that would go see pink floyd dark side moon at the laser mariam and now that lyric could have gnomon fitter backdrop than the total moment of totality i can't wait for that one. thank you, miguel, let's now go to buffalo, america's oldest state park. that is harry anton's beat, harryette and his are man and buffalo, as if you could not tell a man who practices experiential journalism. and is in one of my favorite places, harry, what's the mood there these folk

earth and the sun is. that is where that is not perfection is. the moon completely cover the sun. closer to the earth and it was in 2017. the area of totality is wider. the facts will be felt more profoundly. talk about the effects that people will hear on the ground as the moon as we see it in mexico starts to down the skies and things start to change. >> of course it's going to get dark and it will be dark for a few minutes. it will feel cooler on a hot sunny day if you step into that shade, it feels cooler. it will feel a little bit cooler for a few minutes. it will be a dramatic event. this is not something that you see every day. i remember when i was third or fourth grade. and i clips and things -- we weren't in the path of totality. not too far away. it was neat to see. definitely makes an impression if you will. >> aishah: super-duper astronaut. thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate your time and expertise and perspective. so fun to enjoy it with someone else who lovoves space and sciee i

quickly turn on. sun in the world from childhood sun if 30 years old, spin the sun, if not, turn on the sun in the hearts quickly, turn on the sun, in the world from warmth. on the streets of minsk love hangs out, girls show off in front of boys, everything in minsk will come true, everything will be forgotten, everything will go to bed everything will wake up someday, on the streets of minsk it is warm and cozy, on the streets of minsk there will always be morning, everything will be possible, everything will become necessary, everything will be very good, because. this is me, this is you for me, this is my life, registration misk, it's me, it's them me, and my last name is minsky, minsk, it's me, it's you for me, it's my life, registration, minsk, it's me, it's kinya, and my last name is minsky, and in the minsk windows in the eyes, let it shine, minsk happiness and livelier, let them walk along the stairs with songs, walk cheerfully, where the joy of minsk has lighted up. let there always be sun in the minsk sky, and let the minsk wind laugh at us, let us burn in minsk, let there

, projecting the image of a sun on a a white light board where you can see the record of sun spots.es all the way back to 1755 that's helped us establish that average 11-year cycle but, of course, technology has evolved tremendously over the last 20, 30, 40 years so now we have all sorts of instruments in space taking pictures of the sun, monitoring the sun's surface, monitoring the corona. and then a million miles out, one spacecraft and closer to earth more measuring the sun and all sorts of instruments measuring different types of emissions from the sun and how they're affecting the technology and the earth's atmosphere. >> tell us more about the practical effects on earth and maybe even in space? >> these eruptions, when they occur there's all sorts of emissions and whether a flare occurs there's a blast of radio magnetic radiation. it can affect aircraft, communications. aircraft communicating with the ground can have interference. we get these big energetic blast of particles following soon after the flare. they can affect satellites. they affect the astronauts in space, which

the sun and the moon appeared the same size in our sky, even though the sun is some $400.00 times larger. and every now and then the moon passes directly between us and the sun blocking out its lights and creating a path where when eclipse is visible for those in the center of the path, the eclipse is total with every kilometer you move of that path. the coverage gets less, a total eclipse usually happens once or twice every yes, some way around us. but it's not often that the positive to tell it to the process through a densely populated colorado like this one from mexico, through the united states and into canada. and just the southern as it disappeared, the sun returns. the sky is again filled with lights. as the moon's shadow dissipates. but those who stood in its path, well remember it forever. keith colleen is editor at nasa watch. and he told us, what's so special about a total solar eclipse, as well as your to duction mentioned this happened once or twice a year. but normally the silver, either the ocean where nobody lives or parts of the world, we're going to a lot of people. th

here comes the sun. and i think what we should do you just to help get you a pronto, how awesome we are getting it. here in russell bill, arkansas with our beautiful blue skies. we thought we're going to get rain, so we're winning all the way around. but do you also need to hear how the liverpool legend sound. take a listen to these guys, okay, put your glasses on >> hey counts all right >> so there you go. >> you hear that beautiful music. we're going to have a ball here as we find all of the love that's happening here. and roosevelt, arkansas, we can wait for that big show in the sky and hear more from these guys. >> they sound gray out >> are full >> and i'm glad they did play beatles songs that would have been if they hadn't, right? >> you have they played like metallic or something else by the way, that looks just like lingro >> i wouldn't i would look into >> that with told me get up attorney tests is make sure you maybe he's got some her no royalties coming in so much. meantime, we're taking a loo

i lots of sun further in the world. the sun bound for you is just one of a handful of feet. boundaries on demarcus who wants to use renewable energy when the sun isn't shining, or when the wind is blowing, then we need to have it stored. so we're looking at some simple se materials. harnessing energy as he's on this episode of transforming vistas based on here is beside the point of the sun storage. this is the size of what would be the world's biggest sun battery like or it's about that they made us, it'll be toner, then it's neighboring. a wood chip burning turned here in the small town of poor 9 and in southern finland. we are outside to replace here about 60 percent of our districts eating photos for double chips. and then further is able to fax me copa john and head of a finished district, cheese and company that's invested in the sun battery technology. it's building the battery to store renewable electricity as he's when needed be he's will then be sent back in 2.9 and district teasing network 2 and a half. i alw

now, here's the other thing know about the sun geological data shows us that in the past the sun was way more active than it is today. it has cycles where it goes very quiet, like what was called the maunder minimum, a few hundred years ago and was associated with the little ice age and the potato famine in ireland. and you have event they show that the solar activity was much, much greater. so there's no evidence that we're going to see those big maxima, vicious cycle. but it is even though it's predictable or short terms, we still don't quite understand what creates the magnetic fields in the sun. the so-called solar magneto sphere and we don't understand all of the ways that energy gets injected via magnetic reconnection and waves or magnetic fields. so there's a lot more than learn, right? that's why nasa has so many satellites looking at the sun, space weather is important. >> there are some scientists who think that there's a 12% chance of a g5 plus solar storm hitting earth within the next ten years came not among those obviously the 12% if you look at the error bar on that pr

well, the i probe goes so close to the sun that it has no cameras to look directly at the sun, the amount protons, other things coming off the surface of the sun in the solar wind, the magnetic field, and also the magnetic field, and also the amount of energy it is receiving at different wavelengths from the sun. not taking pictures but measuring that energy. and then what we are actually doing at the european space agency with the mission called solar orbiter is measuring how that changes as it moves towards the earth. so measuring very close into the sun where, as in your piece, the energy rises enormously, the energy rises enormously, the temperature rises from only a few thousand degrees to millions of degrees in that very narrow range. how does that then propagate all the way out to earth where space whether there might be the issue? i whether there might be the issue? ~' ., whether there might be the issue? ~ ., , issue? i know in the peace there, rebecca's - issue? i know in the peace there, rebecca's piece, i issue? i know in the peace| there, rebecca's piece, we issue? i know in

like the sun batteries to break store energy as he's to be use laser as he's. but unlike to son, battery, the technology use for heating. the brakes can also convert the he's back into electricity. the brakes can store energy as a much higher temperature than the sun battery, almost 3 times as high at 1500 degree celsius. and because rondo provides the hottest drummel storage, that's even commercial operation. today, only our technology can re power coal fired power stations at their original turbine efficiency. the brake is used impacts for industrial processes and bundles as a single heat. battery saves more carbon emissions per year than $8500.00 tesla electric vehicles. a report published earlier this year, i sent that electric thermal energy storage solutions could reduce up to 2 percent of energy release of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and up to 14 percent globally by 2050. and it's not just cheap batteries made of sand and bricks, but brooks to a decent art station. a batteries made by friend miller are filled with crushed trunks and rolled ready con

what was it called, a sun spotter. >> what sun spotter? thanks for watching that, reggie. beauty of that thing is, it's not fancy at all. it's a really simple telescope, and it's designed so that you can view an image of the sun. i wish i had it in here, but you can view the image of the sun in a really safe way. you actually cannot. even a small child cannot get their head into that space. and so multiple people can see an image of the sun that's about like maybe yay, big. and so it's in between what we will see through our eclipse glasses. so when you put on eclipse glasses, you're taking a direct view of the sun, which is incredible. and the sun only takes up like half an, degree of angular view of the sky. and so it's really itty bitty and then we have these higher powered telescopes that are zooming in and giving us close up images of the sun, but that takes it's pretty complicated. we have an expert telescope engineer, calibrating those for us. so the sun spotter is this halfway point. it's really good for educational purposes because a lot of people can come around

about 3.8 million miles above the sun's l 3.8 million miles above the sun's service. know it sounds quite far away, but when we're 93 million miles, that puts it into perspective. we're not just closing the corona, we are beneath the surface. it's like sitting on the beach. and then you can see all the magic that is happening. can see all the magic that is happening-— can see all the magic that is haueninu. v . . ., , happening. it's all feat of itself of course. _ happening. it's all feat of itself of course, but _ happening. it's all feat of itself of course, but i _ happening. it's all feat of itself of course, but i wonder - happening. it's all feat of itselfj of course, but i wonder beyond happening. it's all feat of itself- of course, but i wonder beyond that, what are scientists hoping to achieve and what to more they want to learn? it’s achieve and what to more they want to learn? fl ., achieve and what to more they want to learn? �*, ., , ., ~ ., to learn? it's our star, we kind of taken for— to learn? it's our star, we kind of taken for granted. _ to learn? i

so as it passes between earth and the sun, we are seeing this amazing corona of the sun, including what appears to be a solar flare. there on the lower right-hand side. >> we're when we're witnessing a moment, unlike any other this doesn't happen as far as we know, just about anywhere else in the universe according to the experts that we've just talked to endure heard the crowd. they're celebrating and massot lawn. moments of joy is on. children earning around smiling. you saw people with their phones taking pictures. i heard people yelling in spanish. look >> at the iri >> horizon because the horizon is still get up and these are now the rare special minutes of totality where you get about four minutes of this site that you won't see anywhere else. and that doesn't just happen >> it is >> rare and obviously a very special moment to reflect on how lucky we are to join in this experience together. and to be on this earth where magical stuff like this happens, it really is amazing as we are watching this from mazatlan, the first stop in this zone of totality. and we're also getting this e
