"Engaging the Senses: NASA's Citizen-Science Project for the Total Solar Eclipse"

NASA is urging the U.S. public to participate in the Eclipse Soundscapes project during the total solar eclipse on April 8, aiming to measure the impact of the eclipse on wildlife by recording changes in animal sounds. Over 30 million people in the U.S. will experience the eclipse, and participants can use a low-cost recording device to capture animal, bird, and insect sounds. The project seeks to understand how the eclipse affects different ecosystems and invites people of all backgrounds to contribute their observations, making the eclipse an engaging and multi-sensory experience for everyone.
