Activities 
from Goddard Space Flight Center

• "GOES EYE VIEW" OF THE ECLIPSE
  Click here for realtime fulldisk images taken during the
  day of the eclipse from GOES-10

• SOHO Observations
  During the eclipse, the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft, a joint project between NASA and the European Space Agency, made key solar physics observations. Because SOHO is positioned far above the Earth's atmosphere, it can observe the Sun directly, without the interference from the atmosphere. Using SOHO during the eclipse, scientists examined the Sun's surface. This will provide information on what is going on within the Sun's interior and correlate that activity with changes in the coronal structure.
