NASA to provide live coverage for March 8 solar eclipse
"NASA will host a Facebook Q and A at 3 p.m. EST on Monday, Mar 7, with solar scientists from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama," the organization said in a statement.
At 1 p.m. on Mar 8, solar scientists from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, will participate in a Reddit Ask Me Anything.
NASA Television will begin coverage at 8 p.m. on Mar 8. The period of total eclipse, called totality, will occur from 8:38 to 8:42 p.m.
The total eclipse will be visible in parts of South East Asia and a partial eclipse will be visible in parts of Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and America Samoa, the NASA said.
An eclipse occurs when the moon passes directly between Earth and the sun. When the moon's shadow falls on Earth, observers within that shadow see the moon block a portion of the sun's light.
