Chasing the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse With NASA Jets

The April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse will produce stunning views across North America.

While anyone along the eclipse path with a clear sky will see the spectacular event, the best view might be 50,000 feet in the air, aboard NASA’s WB-57 jet planes.

That’s where a trio of NASA-funded teams are sending their scientific instruments to take measurements of the eclipse.
