Tomorrow! Nov 16th at 5PST, November Volunteer Meeting!

[Hannah Hellman]

Hello everyone! 

I hope your November is treating you well so far. Tomorrow, Monday November 16th at 5pm PST, 7pm CT, and 8pm EST, we'd love to have you all join us for our November Volunteer Meeting. Here's the Zoom link:

We'll be joined by Dr. Bryan Medez, who will talk about NASA's Carruthers Geocorona Observatory mission studying the geocorona. 

Many of you have supported the Eclipse Megamovie efforts to learn more about the changes that happen in the solar corona. NASA colleagues who also do research in the Heliophysics division of NASA are studying the changes that happen in the geocorona, the outermost atmosphere of Earth also made up of primarily hydrogen. While these two phenomena share the word "corona," and are both made up of hydrogen, they couldn't be more different. The hydrogen in the geocorona originates from water vapor in the lower atmosphere, but scientists have much more to learn about how this Earth-based hydrogen moves to such high altitudes. "A new NASA mission bearing the name of the telescope’s creator, Dr. George R. Carruthers will launch into space to build on that legacy. From a vantage point roughly one million miles closer to the Sun than Earth is, the Carruthers Geocorona Observatory will capture the most comprehensive views of the geocorona to date." -NASA from https://science.nasa.gov/mission/carruthers-geocorona-observatory/

We'll also hear from Laura with updates about EclipseCon, happening at Sonoma State University in Sonoma County, CA in March of next year. 

Hope to see you tomorrow, 

Hannah :)

Thanks to Richard for pointing out my typo! I initially said Monday, November 16th but I did in fact mean Monday, November 17th! 

We will see you all in about 30 minutes, for tonight's Eclipse Megamovie volunteer meeting. 

Here's that zoom info again:
