Screenshot this for August 21 (a.k.a. Eclipse Day, y’all). There’s going to be more than •just the eclipse• to see (no telescope required) in the sky during the 2 min. + 36 sec. of darkness at 2:41 p.m.

⭐ Stars | The two brightest, most visible stars will be Regulus + Sirius, but other unnamed stars will also be within eyesight.

🌎 Planets | Mercury, Venus, Mars + Jupiter will all be visible.

🌘 Corona | A corona of gases will form a bright white halo around the dark sun, which will appear just as bright as a full moon.

UofSC scientists will be observing the eclipse to note the effects that sunspots + other solar disturbances have on Earth life, plus the link between Sun storms and our planet’s climate – and their potential interference with satellites + space stations.
