Join NSF during the eclipse to learn about the science of the sun
Don't just watch the eclipse — explore it. On April 8, the U.S. National Science Foundation and the NSF National Solar Observatory are hosting an educational livestream all about the science of the sun.
The livestream is a free resource that educators can use in their classrooms to share the excitement of science.
You'll hear from scientists about the unique experiments happening during the eclipse. As we count down to the moment of totality, you'll learn about:
The different layers of the sun, from the core to the corona.
The world's largest, most advanced solar telescope.
How massive solar eruptions generate space weather.
It all happens on YouTube on April 8 starting around 11 a.m. PDT/noon MDT/1 p.m. CDT/2 p.m. EDT.
NSF Eclipse Livestream
The explosive, magnetic nature of the sun
"NSF's Discovery Files" interviewed solar astrophysicist Maria Kazachenko about her work investigating solar flares and the enormous magnetic energy of the sun. She also shares what inspired her to become a scientist (spoiler: it was an eclipse).

SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING INDICATORS
Science and Engineering Indicators is a Congressionally mandated suite of products on the state of the U.S. science and engineering enterprise. The reports are prepared by the U.S. National Science Foundation National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics under the National Science Board’s guidance.
NATIONAL SCIENCE BOARD
The National Science Foundation Act of 1950 charged the National Science Board (NSB) with two roles: governing board of the NSF and advisor to Congress and the President on policy matters related to STEM research and STEM education. Selected for their distinguished service and accomplishments in academia, government, and the private sector, the Board’s 24 presidentially appointed members are leaders in STEM research and education.
NATIONAL CENTER FOR SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING STATISTICS
The National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES), within the U.S. National Science Foundation, is the nation's leading provider of statistical data on the U.S. science and engineering enterprise. As a principal federal statistical agency, NCSES serves as a clearinghouse for the collection, interpretation, analysis, and dissemination of objective science and engineering data.
