WHAT DOES DEEP SPACE SOUND LIKE? As Voyager 1 recedes from the solar system, researchers are hoping the spacecraft will beam back tones from plasma waves, a form of "interstellar music" that reveals conditions in the realm of the stars. Find out what deep space sounds like in a new video from Science@NASA.
SUNRISE SOLAR ECLIPSE: This morning, the New Moon passed in front of the sun, producing a solar eclipse visible from the east Coast of North America to the western side of Africa. In Hampton, Virginia, the eclipse was underway when the morning sun rose over the Atlantic Ocean:

"We had a beautiful view of the partially eclipsed sun peeking between the clouds," says photographer Stephen Gagnon who stationed his camera on Buckroe Beach.
Later, the New Moon covered the entire sun, producing an annular eclipse and then a total solar eclipse visible across the Atlantic and Africa. The narrow path of totality touched several African nations including Gabon, the Congo, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia. Browse the gallery for images.
