North State residents could be able to see a remarkable partial solar eclipse tomorrow. The eclipse will appear as a “ring of fire,” as the moon’s orbit passes between the earth and the sun, blocking all but a narrow outer ring of the sun’s light. Here's when you can see it and how to stay safe.

Host Dave Schlom profiles the mission with NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory engineers Paige Arthur and Kaelan Oldani, then discusses the scientific investigations with Arizona State University graduate student and Psyche science team member Sam Courville. In the final segment, senior JPL engineer Abi Biswas joins Dave to talk about the cutting-edge Deep Space Optical Communications system that Psyche will be demonstrating to pave the way for high bandwidth communications on future space missions.

Host Dave Schlom investigates two of the components that make up most of the universe -- dark matter and dark energy.
