Solar Eclipse: NASA set up at Dallas Arboretum ahead of Monday's eclipse

There is a lot NASA is hoping to be able to study during totality."Heliophysics is the study of the sun and everything it touches," explained Joe Westlake.Westlake is NASA's director of heliophysics. He’s based in Washington D.C., but now in Dallas for the total solar eclipse. "You wake up, sun rises in the east, sets in west, and we take it for granted," Westlake said. "That star has a huge impact on our day-to-day life.

"We are from Boston, some from California, and Mexico," Amir Viskin said."At the last eclipse in 2017, I told Rosemary to reserve a spot on her couch because we were coming down," said Charlie Maubach, who is from Illinois. "She did not keep her spot on the couch for us. We are at a hotel. Our kids got first priority."If there is cloud cover, it may raise the question of if you need your eclipse glasses on or off.
