A few of my colleagues work on this mission – expect many exciting results to come!
For anyone wanting to use music to help get into the eclipse spirit, I’ve compiled a 3.5-hour Spotify playlist full of songs about the Sun, Moon, or shadows! (The playlist was built from suggestions coming from a Twitter/X post in 2024).

I’m a solar astrophysicist, and spent the week prior to the 2024 eclipse doing public outreach around the Texas area. I collected a lot of free eclipse glasses in the process, as well a bunch from other institutions in Boulder, CO.
I think they look great collated like this! Does anyone else have any cool-design eclipse glasses or eclipse mementos?
The Sun celebrated the 4th of July tonight by producing an X-class solar flare!
I was kindly approached by the r/Sun mods to do this AMA. I look forward to chatting about the Sun, space weather and August's total solar eclipse!
