Girl Scouts in Western Pennsylvania explored everything in space to prepare for the solar eclipse.
More than 300 Girl Scouts will be heading to Camp Hawthorne Ridge this weekend to celebrate the solar eclipse.
They have a special eclipse research team that has been conducting research and observations for NASA over the past four months.
On Monday, Girl Scouts will also be collecting data for a dynamic solar eclipse broadcast program, recording moment-by-moment images of the sun's inner corona, which can only be seen during a total solar eclipse.
“I didn't know much about solar eclipses before. I've always been interested in space, and I like traveling and going to NASA, but I didn't know much about solar eclipses, so when it came to solar eclipses… That was one of the reasons why I was interested.I joined this program because when I joined in 2017, I didn't know anything about it and the moon had gone before the sun, but this time I actually watched this program. I'm so excited to be able to do this,” said Girl Scout Hal Myers.
NASA staff and scientists are leading space science activities to help girls earn some space science badges.
