Ring of Fire! What is an Annular Eclipse? Ever heard of an annular eclipse but not sure what it is? This amazing image from NASA captures the beauty of this phenomenon! An annular eclipse happens when the Moon passes directly in front of the Sun, but because the Moon is slightly farther away in its orbit, it doesn't completely block the Sun. This leaves a ring of sunlight visible around the Moon, creating a "ring of fire" effect. Learn more about annular eclipses and how they differ from total eclipses at https://lnkd.in/e_W4CVpC. #AnnularEclipse #SolarEclipse #SpaceScience #NASA #Astronomy #RingofFire

Be a Citizen Scientist! Help NASA Study the Total Solar Eclipse ? The recent total solar eclipse on April 8th, 2024 was a once-in-a-lifetime event! But did you know you can still contribute to science? NASA is looking for citizen scientists to help them analyze data from the eclipse. Through projects like "Eclipse Megamovie," you can contribute your observations and images to help scientists understand the Sun's corona, the outermost layer of our star. Head over to https://lnkd.in/eXk__YYW to learn more and see if you can be a part of this exciting research! #CitizenScience #SolarEclipse #NASA #EclipseMegamovie #ScienceForAll #SpaceExploration

Not all eclipses are created equal! This visualization from NASA [NASA Scientific Visualization Studio] shows the path of the total solar eclipse of March 20, 2015. Notice how the moon's shadow (umbra) takes a glancing swipe at Earth, barely touching land. The Faroe Islands and Svalbard archipelago were the only spots on Earth to experience totality, where the sun is completely blocked out. Everyone in the wider path of the penumbra saw a partial eclipse. Want to learn more about eclipses?

Witness a Stellar Explosion: The Death Throes of Neutron Stars! This animation from NASA takes us on a cosmic journey through the violent merger of two neutron stars! The incredible force of this collision unleashes a dazzling display of light and a powerful ripple in spacetime called gravitational waves. Neutron stars are the incredibly dense cores of massive stars that exploded in a supernova. When two of these behemoths collide, the resulting event is one of the most powerful in the universe!

Ever wonder what a solar eclipse looks like from space? ? NASA's spacecraft have a front-row seat to these incredible events! This page showcases what different satellites saw during the 2017 total solar eclipse across North America. Learn how some spacecraft captured the Moon's shadow racing across Earth, while others witnessed the Sun itself being partially covered by the Moon.

New Manual Review Process from FEMA

It's official. FEMA has canceled training classes at the National Fire Academy (NFA) in Emmitsburg, MD, starting this week through the end of August. FEMA has also canceled all in-person, on-site emergency management training classes at every FEMA campus in the US, such as Collaborative Technical Assistance (CTA) programs, EMI classes, Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP), etc., for the near future with no further information available. The National Disaster & Emergency Management University in Emmitsburg, MD, is home to both the Emergency Management Institute (EMI) and the NFA. Just as the NFA is the preeminent federal fire training academy in the US, EMI is our country’s preeminent emergency management training academy. EMI trains over two million students annually, training federal, state, local, tribal, volunteer, public, and private sector officials. That training strengthens emergency managers and their communities across this country. . For almost 50 years, EMI has provided emergency managers, whether brand new, mid-career, or seasoned professionals, with high-quality, inexpensive training, which they can bring back to their jurisdiction or organization. In turn, this training allows emergency managers to help the people they serve to be safer and more prepared. Losing NETC/EMI or any of FEMA’s other emergency management training would be devastating to emergency managers across the country, to the emergency management profession as a whole, and most importantly, to communities and states around the nation. If FEMA’s emergency management training programs are something you feel is important for our industry, please contact your federal and state representatives and urge them to advocate for these programs.
