Description

As the agency reported it.

Robert semper/exploratorium "total solar eclipse: stories from the path of totality" this proposal from the SAN francisco exploratorium builds on the popularity and success of previous NASA partnerships to bring public programs, educational resources, and live coverage of two rare total solar eclipses to homes, schools, universities, museums, and news venues worldwide. Working with NASA's sun-earth education forum, we'll send NASA and exploratorium scientists and educators, along with our "live@ the exploratorium" technical crew, to the northern reaches of china in 2008, and to the mysterious island of rapanui (easter island) in 2010. In the field, team members will work with local communities to set up more than half a ton of equipment and, via satellite and the internet, transmit live eclipse images in real-time to an international audience of tens of millions of people, both through the public media and NASA-TV. These webcast programs will feature NASA scientists and educators interpreting the eclipses, which cannot be seen in the united states, for a global audience. Program content in 2008 will focus on international heliophysical year; in 2010, on solar maximum. In addition to these live programs, the exploratorium will also update its award-winning web site to archive these presentations for ongoing availability. We'll stream the program live to the five-million-plus virtual "residents" of the online world of second life, and make portions available through the national science digital library and on popular video-sharing venues such as youtube. We'll also work with the asian-american, hawaiian, and pacific islander communities in the united states to develop a new educational web site that will focus on the celestial navigation traditions and accomplishments of the pacific islands. Together, these programs offer exciting live presentations, as well as long-term sustainable resources and dissemination for NASA on an international scale.
