On April 8, 2024 we will experience a Total Solar Eclipse. What exactly is an eclipse? Who will get to see it? How can you safely view? What if you aren't in the path of totality? You've got questions, we've got answers with the amazing Dr. Marin M. Anderson, Research Scientist, NASA JPL. All that and more on The REACH Guide to the Total Solar Eclipse

 

Hosts: Brian Holden and Meredith Stepien 

Written, Produced, and Edited by Nate DuFort, a Solar System Ambassador for NASA JPL
