WEBVTT FILE 1 00:00:00.010 --> 00:00:04.040 Male Voice: There it is! Here it comes! There is a diamond ring again! 2 00:00:04.060 --> 00:00:08.150 Sarah: During a solar eclipse, the moon is so 3 00:00:08.170 --> 00:00:12.330 big and far away, it has a very sharp edge, so it blocks out 4 00:00:12.350 --> 00:00:16.340 the sunlight from the disc 5 00:00:16.360 --> 00:00:20.410 of the sun very, very precisely 6 00:00:20.430 --> 00:00:24.440 It allows the very faint light from the corona down to Earth, 7 00:00:24.460 --> 00:00:28.530 so we can see it. 8 00:00:28.550 --> 00:00:32.710 Nat: You can connect what is going on in a space coronagraph to what is going on very close to the sun. That means you can see 9 00:00:32.730 --> 00:00:36.730 the birth place of mass ejections with the 10 00:00:36.750 --> 00:00:40.770 eclipse. On the other hand with a coronagraph 11 00:00:40.790 --> 00:00:44.820 you can see it only after it has left the, you know, 12 00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:48.900 early part of the corona. 13 00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:52.960 Sarah: This eclipse coming up is a little shorter. Everyone is getting their instruments 14 00:00:52.980 --> 00:00:57.000 ready for 2017 can sort of test them out. 15 00:00:57.020 --> 00:01:01.110 Nelson: And if you can design an experiment that you can do it 16 00:01:01.130 --> 00:01:05.110 within that 3 minutes, that's the best thing. 17 00:01:05.130 --> 00:01:09.170 Eric: Anybody can get involved. You can watch the webcast. We will describing what we are seeing and a lot of 18 00:01:09.190 --> 00:01:13.180 setup, and have telescopes that actually show, even though 19 00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:17.230 we are going to be in the Pacific. Also, you know, as you learn about this, getting ready for 20 00:01:17.250 --> 00:01:21.280 the 2017 eclipse. This is really a prelude for what's going to be 21 00:01:21.300 --> 00:01:25.360 a phenomenal 2017 eclipse. 22 00:01:25.380 --> 00:01:29.410 Cheering 23 00:01:29.430 --> 00:01:33.420 Tone 24 00:01:33.440 --> 00:01:36.243 Beeping
