This accession consists of two pages from the National Air and Space Museum (NASM) website related to the 2017 total solar eclipse as well as tweets using the hashtag
"#RoadTripToTotality."
The web pages were crawled on August 18, 2017, three days before the eclipse on August 21. One page provides information about solar eclipses and safely viewing and photographing
them. The other page provides details about eclipse-related events and activities at the museum.
The hashtag "#RoadTripToTotality" was primarily used by the crew of "STEM in 30," a television show produced by NASM for middle school students, in their posts on Twitter.
Twitter is a microblogging platform and its posts are known as "tweets." The crew documented their road trip to broadcast live from the path of totality. The hashtag was also
used by others on Twitter to document their own experiences related to the eclipse. Tweets using this hashtag were exported into a spreadsheet between August 13 and September
4, 2017. The results from a search of Twitter on the hashtag were crawled on August 21, 2017.
