[Text: 2023 Annular Solar Eclipse, Through The Eyes of NASA.]

2
00:00:04.800 --> 00:00:06.800
Once in a lifetime,

3
00:00:06.800 --> 00:00:13.516
all of us to be experiencing this.

4
00:00:13.516 --> 00:00:15.566
It’s a ballon-ar eclipse!

5
00:00:15.566 --> 00:00:17.883
Oh, yeah!

6
00:00:17.883 --> 00:00:22.016
[Text: Excitement reached new heights as the 2023 annular solar eclipse traveled across the U.S.]

7
00:00:24.483 --> 00:00:27.483
[Text: NASA celebrated with public engagement opportunities.]

8
00:00:30.566 --> 00:00:33.900
Now that the annual eclipse is here,
the fun has just begun.

9
00:00:34.133 --> 00:00:37.566
So today is the official launch of NASA's
Heliophysics Big Year.

10
00:00:37.950 --> 00:00:42.233
Folks, we are moments away from the start of
today's annular eclipse.

11
00:00:42.233 --> 00:00:43.583
That’s going out into deep space.

12
00:00:43.583 --> 00:00:47.483
But these rockets... these just launched actually. Will have three launches

13
00:00:47.483 --> 00:00:51.266
during the eclipse studying
that upper atmosphere, the ionosphere

14
00:00:51.350 --> 00:01:03.150
kind to see
what are the impacts from the Sun.

15
00:01:03.233 --> 00:01:04.916
This is negative Doppler shift

16
00:01:04.916 --> 00:01:15.600
due to the eclipse crossing overhead.

17
00:01:15.683 --> 00:01:16.133
Gina,

18
00:01:16.133 --> 00:01:20.000
I thought I'd have goose bumps
but I’m literally shaking. This is crazy.

19
00:01:20.016 --> 00:01:22.133
I know.

20
00:01:22.133 --> 00:01:24.766
It's about the community and being communal

21
00:01:24.766 --> 00:01:27.966
and just the unity of hearing everybody
cheer.

22
00:01:28.050 --> 00:01:30.900
The Sun touches us all
in so many different ways.

23
00:01:30.900 --> 00:01:34.850
And so the Heliophysics Big Year
is going to help us kind of discover

24
00:01:34.850 --> 00:01:38.883
all the ways the Sun touches us
scientifically, but in other ways as well.
