NASA has selected five science experiments that it will fund to study the sun and Earth during the Great American Eclipse of 2024.
On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse, during which the moon completely blocks out the disk of the sun, will darken skies across the United States. The path of totality, averaging 123 miles (198 kilometers) wide, runs from southwest Texas to northern New England and includes cities such as San Antonio, Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, Little Rock, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Burlington.
