AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoSpace Science in Greenland: A total solar eclipse on Aug. 12 will sweep across Greenland, Iceland and northern Spain, with a narrow path of totality and a wider partial eclipse elsewhere—NASA also warns that regular sunglasses aren’t safe and that eclipse glasses must meet ISO 12312-2. Eclipse Research Flight: NASA plans an aircraft mission from Keflavik, Iceland, to “chase” the moving eclipse shadow and extend totality for better measurements, including the eerie “slam of shadow” experience for crew. Skywatch + Tech: The Perseid meteor shower peaks around the same period, with NASA expecting up to 50–100 meteors per hour under ideal conditions, and viewers are encouraged to use proper viewing gear and safe capture methods (including smartphone tips). Arctic Climate Lab Work: New research links Arctic sea-ice edges near Greenland to bursts of new cloud-seeding particles driven by sulfur and iodine chemistry, helping explain how warming can reshape cloud formation. Local Governance (Greenland-adjacent): Greenland authorities issued a strong warning as a Trump-linked US oil firm moves ahead with Arctic drilling plans without required local approval.
