NASA Bixiray Sawirrada Qorraxda ee Barwaaqo-sooranka Agoosto 12-aad: Dhulka, Hawada iyo Fagaaraha
12-kii Agoosto, qorraxdu waxay u dhacday barwaaqo-sooranka oo ka dhacay Greenland, Imaaraadka iyo Spain, iyadoo NASA ay ka qayb-gashay baaritaannada dhulka, hawada iyo fagaaraha. Barwaaqo-sooranku wuxuu muujiyay qorraxda dibadda ah ee corona, iyadoo NASA ay ku wareegatay 50,000 mitir oo sare, iyadoo fagaaraha ku jirta saddex qofna ka soo qaadeen sawirro.
Barwaaqo-sooranka iyo Corona
12-kii Agoosto, barwaaqo-sooranka guud ee qorraxdu ka dhacay Greenland, Imaaraadka iyo Spain, waxay u muuqatay dadka ku sugnaa meelaha qorraxdu ka dhacday. Barwaaqo-sooranku wuxuu muujiyay qorraxda dibadda ah ee corona, iyadoo NASA ay ka qayb-gashay baaritaannada dhulka, hawada iyo fagaaraha.
Sida ay sheegayaan warbixinta, NASA ayaa Spain ku qabatay sawirro barwaaqo-sooranka guud iyo kuwa qaybaha ka hor iyo kadib, ilaa qorraxdu dhulka ka dhacday. Barwaaqo-sooranku wuxuu muujiyay qorraxda dibadda ah ee corona, iyadoo NASA ay ka qayb-gashay baaritaannada dhulka, hawada iyo fagaaraha.
NASA iyo Fagaaraha
NASA ayaa ku wareegatay 50,000 mitir oo sare, iyadoo fagaaraha ku jirta saddex qofna ka soo qaadeen sawirro. Barwaaqo-sooranku wuxuu muujiyay qorraxda dibadda ah ee corona, iyadoo NASA ay ka qayb-gashay baaritaannada dhulka, hawada iyo fagaaraha.
NASA pilots ayaa ku wareegatay 50,000 mitir oo sare, iyadoo fagaaraha ku jirta saddex qofna ka soo qaadeen sawirro. Barwaaqo-sooranku wuxuu muujiyay qorraxda dibadda ah ee corona, iyadoo NASA ay ka qayb-gashay baaritaannada dhulka, hawada iyo fagaaraha.
Balloonyada iyo Baaritaannada
Imaaraadka iyo Spain, waxaa la isticmaalay balloonyo si loo baaro barwaaqo-sooranka. Barwaaqo-sooranku wuxuu muujiyay qorraxda dibadda ah ee corona, iyadoo NASA ay ka qayb-gashay baaritaannada dhulka, hawada iyo fagaaraha.

On August 12, a total solar eclipse swept across Greenland, Iceland and Spain, briefly unveiling the Sun's corona to observers with clear skies. NASA researchers, photographers and astronauts documented the event from the ground, aboard a research jet and from the International Space Station.
Astronauts and Photographers Capture the Eclipse
In northern Maine, where only a partial eclipse was visible, a NASA photographer captured the International Space Station speeding past the partially eclipsed Sun. The station carried a crew of seven aboard during the event. Meanwhile, an astronaut on board snapped their own photos of the partial eclipse from orbit.
A separate NASA photographer in Spain documented the total solar eclipse as well as the partial phases before and after, continuing until the Sun set below the horizon. These images provide a comprehensive visual record of the eclipse's progression across the region.
Research Jet and Balloons Study the Eclipse's Effects
NASA pilots flew the WB-57F research jet at an altitude of 50,000 feet, passing through the eclipse's shadow to extend their time within the event. The aircraft carried a suite of cameras that captured high-resolution images of the corona and prominences in several different wavelengths of light.
In both Iceland and Spain, teams of students participating in the NASA-funded Nationwide Eclipse Ballooning Project launched scientific balloons carrying instruments to capture images of the eclipse's shadow and study its effects on the atmosphere. Even though clouds obscured the view from the ground in Iceland, the balloon-borne instruments successfully gathered data on how the brief loss of light and heat affected the lower atmosphere.
Scientists Predicted and Documented the Corona
Before the eclipse, scientists at Predictive Science Inc., with support from NASA grants and supercomputers, used observations of the Sun from NASA spacecraft and ground-based telescopes to predict what the corona would look like during the event. Their predictions were later compared to actual observations captured during the eclipse.
A composite image of the corona combines multiple images captured by the NASA-supported DEB Initiative project during the total eclipse near León, Spain. This composite provides a detailed view of the Sun's wispy outer atmosphere, which was briefly revealed as the Moon covered the Sun.
