On 08 April 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, United States, and Canada. Millions of people in the Western Hemisphere can experience this eclipse, when the Moon will move between the Earth and Sun, blocking the bright disc of the Sun completely for a few minutes for those in the path of totality. What happens in the atmosphere when the Moon blocks the Sun’s light, even briefly? GLOBE invites everyone to help answer that question by recording changes in temperature and sky conditions on 08 April, even if you are only experiencing a partial eclipse. This video goes through the steps to participate in data collection, from selecting an air temperature thermometer to setting up the GLOBE Observer app, as well as how to watch the eclipse safely (you will need solar viewing glasses or an indirect viewing method for all but the brief few minutes of totality.)
