A massive sun spot, over 10 times wider than Earth, is visible on the top right part of the sun with eclipse glasses. The total solar eclipse will pass through 13 U.S. states, but all 48 contiguous states can witness the event. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captures stunning images of the sun. Earth's magnetic field protects the planet from solar wind and cosmic radiation. A breathtaking closeup of Jupiter is shared by WorldAndScience.

Earth's magnetic field plays a crucial role in protecting the planet from solar wind and cosmic radiation by deflecting charged particles away from the surface, thus shielding life on Earth from harmful effects. https://t.co/VHmt4JdFWJ
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory is constantly looking at the Sun and studying how its activity relates to life on Earth. It has captured some truly spectacular images. https://t.co/QAarmuVFoD
While the total solar eclipse will travel through 13 U.S. states, all 48 contiguous states still have an opportunity to see quite the sight. https://t.co/9Dy2HcPYQH
😎 Do you have eclipse glasses? Test them out today by looking at this MASSIVE sun spot. It's more than 10 times wider than the Earth, and you should be able to see it on the top right part of the sun with "eclipse glasses" (solar filter). https://t.co/iFa5TgyGNe
