The event included free concerts, performances, speakers, and hands-on science activities.<\/p>\n<p>At the heart of the festival was the \u201cNASA Village,\u201d an immersive experience featuring the agency\u2019s major missions and projects aimed at advancing space exploration and revolutionizing air travel. <strong>Figure 2<\/strong> shows the location of each outreach tent in the village, while <strong>Figure 3<\/strong> provides descriptions of each activity. More than 36,000 attendees visited the NASA village over the three-day event.<\/p>\n<p>Exhibits focused on innovations in aeronautics, space, solar, and lunar science, and best practices for ensuring a safe solar eclipse viewing experience. Through virtual and augmented simulations, attendees had the opportunity to take a supersonic flight, walk on Mars, and visit the International Space Station. Attendees of all ages participated in hands-on activities and talked to NASA scientists and engineers about their work and how to join the NASA team. Attendees could also walk through Journey to Tomorrow, a traveling exhibit complete with interactive English and Spanish-language content, and see an Apollo-era Moon rock. Visitors also explored large-scale, inflatable displays of the X-59 plane designed to quiet supersonic air travel, the Space Launch System rocket slated to take the first woman and person of color to the Moon, and a Mars habitat concept. Throughout the NASA Village, attendees could take advantage of several photo opportunities, including iconic NASA cutouts and displays. NASA also hosted astronaut autograph signing sessions, as well as special guest \u201cmeet and greets.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\">\n<div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\">\n<div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\">\n<figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-fit \"><a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/eclipse-figure2.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1005\" src=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/eclipse-figure2.jpg?w=1440\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"Eclipse figure 2\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smd-cms.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/eclipse-figure2.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/smd-cms.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/eclipse-figure2.jpg?resize=300,209 300w, https:\/\/smd-cms.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/eclipse-figure2.jpg?resize=768,536 768w, https:\/\/smd-cms.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/eclipse-figure2.jpg?resize=1024,715 1024w, https:\/\/smd-cms.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/eclipse-figure2.jpg?resize=400,279 400w, https:\/\/smd-cms.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/eclipse-figure2.jpg?resize=600,419 600w, https:\/\/smd-cms.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/eclipse-figure2.jpg?resize=900,628 900w, https:\/\/smd-cms.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/eclipse-figure2.jpg?resize=1200,838 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\"><\/a><\/figure><figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\">\n<div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\"><strong>Figure 2.<\/strong> Map of the \u201cNASA Village\u201d at the Eclipse festival in Cleveland, OH, hosted by GRC.

(While a bit more remote than Cleveland, Kerville was chosen as a SunSpot location during the total eclipse because it was also in the path of the October 2023 annular eclipse, NASA had outreach activities in Kerville for that eclipse as well). The events culminated on April 8 at Louise Hays Park. NASA\u2019s impact on the community was wide-reaching, engaging approximately 4000 individual interactions with community members and visitors. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive and appreciative. On April 8, SSO provided astronaut handler support for NASA Astronaut <strong>Reid Wiseman<\/strong> \u2013 who will command the Artemis II Moon mission \u2013 during a \u201cphotos with an astronaut\u201d session. SSO staff also escorted Wiseman to and from a main stage speaking engagement and the NASA broadcast engagement \u2013 see<strong> Photos 10\u201313<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\">\n<div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\">\n<div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\">\n<figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-fit \"><a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/eclipse10-r.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/eclipse10-r.jpg?w=1440\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"Eclipse photo 10\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smd-cms.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/eclipse10-r.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/smd-cms.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/eclipse10-r.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/smd-cms.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/eclipse10-r.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/smd-cms.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/eclipse10-r.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/smd-cms.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/eclipse10-r.jpg?resize=400,267 400w, https:\/\/smd-cms.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/eclipse10-r.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/smd-cms.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/eclipse10-r.jpg?resize=900,600 900w, https:\/\/smd-cms.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/eclipse10-r.jpg?resize=1200,800 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\"><\/a><\/figure><figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\">\n<div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\"><strong>Photo 10<\/strong>. <strong>Ellen Gray<\/strong> [GSFC\/KBR\u2014<em>Senior Outreach Specialist<\/em>] engaging attendees in Kerrville, TX with various NASA Science outreach materials.<\/div>\n<div class=\"hds-credits\"><strong>Photo credit<\/strong>: NASA<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\">\n<div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\">\n<div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\">\n<figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-fit \"><a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/eclipse-11-r.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/eclipse-11-r.jpg?w=1440\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"Eclipse Photo 11.\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smd-cms.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/eclipse-11-r.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/smd-cms.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/eclipse-11-r.jpg?resize=300,208 300w, https:\/\/smd-cms.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/eclipse-11-r.jpg?resize=768,533 768w, https:\/\/smd-cms.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/eclipse-11-r.jpg?resize=1024,711 1024w, https:\/\/smd-cms.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/eclipse-11-r.jpg?resize=400,278 400w, https:\/\/smd-cms.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/eclipse-11-r.jpg?resize=600,417 600w, https:\/\/smd-cms.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/eclipse-11-r.jpg?resize=900,625 900w, https:\/\/smd-cms.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/eclipse-11-r.jpg?resize=1200,833 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\"><\/a><\/figure><figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\">\n<div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\"><strong>Photo 11<\/strong>.

The observations \u2013 taken with a camera that images in infrared and visible light at high resolution and high speed \u2013 could improve our understanding of the dust ring around the Sun and help search for asteroids that may orbit near the Sun. The WB-57 flights also carried instruments to learn more about the temperature and chemical composition of the corona and <em>coronal mass ejections<\/em> \u2013  or large bursts of solar material. By flying these instruments on a WB-57, the scientists extended their time in the Moon\u2019s shadow by over two minutes from what could be achieved using ground-based observations.
