On April 8th, many hundreds of thousands of citizens in Mexico, the U.S., and Canada will be in the pathway of a total solar eclipse. Prof. Sadavoy will experience this once in a lifetime phenomenon in Kingston at Queen's University. She is featured in the Queen's Alumni Review article, Here Comes the Sun.
Some quotes from Prof. Sadavoy from the article:
There’s a lot that we don’t actually know about the Sun, and the Sun is our best proxy to understand other stars.
Solar eclipses let us see a side of the Sun that we don’t always have the opportunity to see, which is [its] outer atmosphere.
