Citizen Scientists Invited to Collect Data for NASA During Eclipse
As the Moon eclipses the Sun on April 8, 2024, thousands of citizen scientists, including fifth- and sixth-grade students from Alpena Elementary in Arkansas, will collect temperature readings and cloud data to aid research on the Sun’s influence on climate. Using NASA’s GLOBE Observer app, these enthusiastic participants will contribute valuable information for understanding temperature fluctuations during the eclipse, particularly in diverse climate regions across North America. This collaborative effort highlights the power of citizen science in advancing our knowledge of Earth’s environment and inspiring a new generation of scientific inquiry.
