About us
For more than 60 years, NASA has been breaking barriers to achieve the seemingly impossible—from walking on the Moon to pushing the boundaries of human spaceflight farther than ever before. We work in space and around the world in laboratories and wind tunnels, on airfields and in control rooms to explore some of life’s fundamental mysteries: What’s out there in space? How do we get there? And what can we learn that will make life better here on Earth? We are passionate professionals united by a common purpose: to pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research. Today, we continue NASA’s legacy of excellence and innovation through an unprecedented array of missions. We are developing the most advanced rockets and spacecraft ever designed, studying the Earth for answers to critical challenges facing our planet, improving the air transportation experience, and so much more. Join us as we reach for new heights and reveal the unknown for the benefit of humanity.

When a total solar eclipse happens, we take to the skies – for science. Each time the Moon covers the Sun, it presents new opportunities to better understand our star and its influence on Earth. On Aug. 12, NASA-funded science teams will be chasing the Moon’s shadow with a high-altitude jet and scientific balloons to investigate the Sun’s dynamics and how the temporary darkening of our skies affects our atmosphere.

On Aug. 12, you have the chance to experience a total solar eclipse – no matter where you are. Starting at 1:15 p.m. EDT (1715 UTC), we'll stream live as the Moon passes in front of the Sun, bringing the views and the science straight to you. People in Greenland, Iceland, and Spain will get to see the total solar eclipse with their own eyes, while viewers in most of Canada and parts of the U.S. will get to see a partial solar eclipse. Before you head outside to watch the eclipse, be sure to have eclipse glasses – not sunglasses – or an indirect viewing method to use. Get more viewing tips and an idea of what to expect in this video.
