NASA released Tuesday the first episode of a new six-part podcast series for first-time space explorers to learn about the

New episodes will post every Tuesday through April 23. The first episode is available at:

Series: The Sun, Our Star - NASA
On April 8, 2024, a total solar
eclipse
will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada. More than 32 million people will have the chance to witness, and a phenomenon the contiguous U.S. will not see again for 20 years.
The series will delve into the cultural connections and historical significance of solar studies. Listeners can prepare firsthand
for the solar eclipse with insight from NASA experts along the path of totality. The series offers insight into research from NASA scientists, firsthand accounts from âeclipse chasersâ, and how the agency protects astronauts and spacecraft during solar activity.
The series is part of NASAâs Curious Universe podcast. In each episode, hosts Padi Boyd and Jacob Pinter, bring listeners on science and space
adventures. Explore the cosmos alongside astronauts, scientists, engineers, and other NASA experts in science, space exploration, and aeronautics.
NASAâs Sun + Eclipse Series is now available on Spotify, Apple
Podcasts, Google
Podcasts, and Soundcloud.
Curious Universe is written and produced by a team at the agencyâs Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
