NASA's Sun-Earth Day show

Summary: For five years, NASA has called this celebration of solar eclipses and the sun-earth connection, Sun Earth Day. Sun Earth Day normally occurs around the spring equinox in March, and celebrates the connection between the earth and sun through scientific research and descriptions of ancient cultural knowledge.

These podcasts will connect you to the cultural history, math and science behind solar eclipses, and why we still find them so exciting to watch today.
