The Science Of The Moon, The Sun, And The Eclipse

Today, the NYC metro area will get a nearly-complete view of a total solar eclipse, which won't happen again in our region until 2044. Rebecca Boyle , science writer and author of the book, OUR MOON: How Earth’s Celestial Companion Transformed the Planet, Guided Evolution, and Made Us Who We Are , joins us from the path of totality at Atlas Obscura’s Ecliptic Festival in Arkansas' Hot Springs National Park, to explain the science of the celestial bodies involved in this special cosmic experience.
