NASA also provided a photobooth for guests to use, Eva the astronaut mascot made rounds, and Glenn showcased its Graphics and Visualization Lab through virtual reality glasses experiences and hands-on demos. The Monsters also showed a 2024 Eclipse Countdown Kickoff video during the game.  

Two NASA representatives stand at the back of a table filled with NASA stickers, tattoos, and a map showing the path of the solar eclipse. People line up along the front of the table to talk with the representatives and take the NASA items.
