ECLIPSE

SIMULATOR

The Eclipse Soundscapes Project is a participatory science project funded by NASA Science Activation that is ​studying how solar eclipses affect life on Earth.


The project is recruiting volunteers to learn about solar eclipses, observe on eclipse day, collect audio data ​during eclipse week, and/or analyze the data after the solar eclipses. Eclipse Soundscapes participants will help ​collect and analyze observations and sound data from the October 14, 2023 annular eclipse and/or the April 8, ​2024 total solar eclipse. The observations and sound data collected will help us understand the impact of 2023, ​and 2024 solar eclipses on various U.S. ecosystems.


They need your help! There are ways to participate both on and off the eclipse paths, both online and outside in ​the field!
