By the Light of Eclipses: Bringing NASA Content to Underserved Audiences
The August 21, 2017 total solar eclipse saw a collaboration between NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) scientists, Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tennessee, the U.S. Space and Rocket Center, and The INSPIRE (Interactive NASA Space Physics Ionosphere Experiments) Project. Leveraging that collaboration, we expanded to southwest Texas to be in the paths of annularity and totality for the October 14, 2023 and the April 8, 2024 eclipse, respectively. Observations were made in Eagle Pass, Uvalde, and Garner State Park, Texas with the help of students and professors from Sul Ross State University, and Southwest Texas Junior College, as well as Park Rangers in Garner State Park. Through these eclipses we supported Citizen Science projects SunSketcher, Globe Eclipse, and iNaturalist, participated in multiple education and outreach events prior to and after the eclipses and presented our experiences to the Seventh Annual Science of Stem Literacy Conference held at Sul Ross State University in Alpine, Texas. This presentation will report those experiences and the impact to the community.
