The principal invesitgators are members of a committee convening a planning workshop to prepare for the rare total solar eclipse that will traverse the US continent on 21 August 2017. The workshop will be held April 9-11, 2012, at the High Altitude Observatory in Boulder, Colorado, and will bring together eclipse experts and scientists to plan for this 2017 event. The workshop wii allow plans to be developed to capitalize on the unique scientific and public outreach potential of the 2017 eclipse. By traversing the extended US landmass, the shadow band of the 2017 eclipse will provide almost uninterrupted observations of the solar corona over 90 minutes, from its start in the northwest to its end in the southeast. Such a span will provide the opportunity to capture the temporal variations and spatial characteristics of coronal structures on times scales of fractions of seconds, to minutes, to over an hour. Since a number of identical experiments can be set up along the path of totality to maximize chances of success, the 2017 eclipse promises an optimal scientific yield.The broader impact of this activity will be in its ability to spark the interest of the public at large and to entice them to take part in exploratory and discovery opportunities. This workshop will provide the first meeting for specialists to collectively develop ideas for public experiments and outreach that would fully exploit the 90 minute duration of this 2017 event across the USA, and involve a significant fraction of the national population, as well as a large number of visitors from abroad. In addition, the workshop will allow planning for eclipse observations that will test new technologies and concepts for later incorporation in ground-based and space-based observatories.

主要的入侵者是委员会的成员，召集了计划研讨会，为将于2017年8月21日穿越美国大陆的罕见的太阳日食。该研讨会将于2012年4月9日至11日在Boulder，Colorado的高空天文台举行，并将汇集日食专家和科学家，以便将Eclipse专家和科学家进行计划。 Wii研讨会允许制定计划，以利用2017年Eclipse的独特科学和公共外展潜力。通过穿越扩展的美国陆地，2017年日食的影子乐队将在90分钟内几乎不间断地观察太阳能电晕，从西北到东南部的结尾。这样的跨度将为捕获冠状结构的时间变化和空间特征的机会，以秒的时间尺度的秒数，到几分钟到一个多小时。由于可以沿着整体的道路建立许多相同的实验，以最大程度地提高成功机会，因此2017年的Eclipse承诺将具有最佳的科学收益率。这项活动的更广泛的影响将在于它的能力激发公众的整体利益，并吸引他们参与探索性和发现机会。该研讨会将为专家提供第一次会议，以共同开发公众实验和外展的想法，这些想法将充分利用美国2017年活动的90分钟持续时间，并涉及大量全国人口，以及大量来自国外的游客。此外，研讨会将允许计划日食观察，这些观察结果将测试新技术和概念，以便以后的地面和基于空间的观测值纳入。
