Subject: Eclipse and you as a citizen scientist


North of London

NASA is looking for 'citizen scientists ' to record some things during the eclipse.
Apparently anyone in North America could do it as you don't have to be right under he complete eclipse.

Here is the link if you want to check it out and see if you can add a little data to their information.
More links from there if something interests you

“No matter where you are in North America, whether it’s cloudy, clear or rainy, NASA wants as many people as possible to help with this citizen science project,” Kristen Weaver, deputy coordinator for the project said in a statement. “We want to inspire a million eclipse viewers to become eclipse scientists.”

NASA scientists are using the Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) program to gather temperature and cloud reports from across the continent as the Moon briefly blocks out the sun’s light and heat. Researchers hope to quantify the atmospheric changes that occur when the eclipse crosses the country. Or, as the GLOBE eclipse program puts it: “How cool is the eclipse?”
