The Deep Space Climate Observatory will observe the August solar eclipse, providing a unique opportunity for scientists to study Earth's energy system. NASA's Epic camera will capture images of the moon's shadow, and data will be combined with ground measurements to understand how the sun's energy is absorbed and reflected. The eclipse allows scientists to refine calculations of Earth's energy system. NASA has been studying the sun-Earth relationship for over 40 years and plans to launch new instruments to further this research.
