The School of Television Arts and Sciences announced its nomination on May 1, recognizing NASA’s outstanding work in sharing this rare celestial activity with audiences around the world. The winners will be unveiled at a ceremony in late June.
“The entire solar eclipse, by affecting our senses at an amazingly integrated moment, demonstrates the special connection between our Earth, the moon and the sun by affecting the breathtakingly fully aligned moments that occur on Earth at this time,” said Nicky Fox, deputy science executive at NASA headquarters in Washington. “NASA’s Eclipse reporting team perfectly encapsulates awesome experiences, from start to finish for viewers around the world, once-in-a-lifetime moments in American history.

NASA's live coverage of the 2024 solar eclipse is the agency's most ambitious live project ever. The broadcast spanned three hours as the solar eclipse traveled 3,000 miles across seven states and two countries. From the city, parks and stadiums, 11 owners and correspondents provided in air reviews, interviews and live coverage. Audiences have been adapted from audiences around the world, including viewing parties from the Austin Public Library to 9 locations in Times Square in New York. As the moon’s shadow passes through North America, interactive “eclipse” provides real-time data analysis. On-site feed for astronauts riding on the International Space Station and NASA’s WB-57 high-altitude research aircraft was brought into a rare and unique view of solar activity.
NASA has received nearly 40 million of its own distributed views in total. Externally, the main broadcasts have 2,208 hits in 568 channels in 25 countries.
