Episode notes

Capital One provides tailored financial services to address unique business challenges and opportunities, with dedicated experts assisting in building lasting success. The total solar eclipse on April 8th will only be visible along a narrow 100-mile-wide path stretching from Texas to Maine. Outside this path, a partial eclipse will occur, which is less noticeable and requires eye protection as even 1% exposure to the sun can cause eye damage resembling a crescent shape.

On April 8, the moon will slip in front of the sun, blocking its light and creating an eerie twilight in the middle of the day. Stars will come out, the air will get cold, colors will dance around the horizon. It's a full-body experience born from the total solar eclipse that will be visible from North America. Today on the show, Regina G. Barber talks to NPR science correspondent Nell Greenfieldboyce about why some people say this experience is one of the most beautiful celestial events you can see – and how to prepare for it.
