On March 29, 2006, a total solar eclipse occurred when the new moon moved directly between the sun and the earth. The moon's shadow fell on the eastern tip of Brazil, sped eastward across the Atlantic, through northern Africa, across the Mediterranean, and into Turkey, where the Live@Exploratorium team was waiting.
In addition to capturing the eclipse as it occurred, scientists investicated the magnetic nature of the sun, eclipse shadows, and space weather.
