"Join NASA's Mission: Gathering Sun Data and Chasing Solar Eclipses"
NASA is seeking the help of citizen scientists along the path of totality during the upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8th to gather data on the Sun. Projects range from using a smartphone app to measure the size and shape of the Sun to more advanced tasks like programming in Python. The data collected will aid in understanding the Sun's interior, forecasting solar storms, and protecting technology-dependent systems on Earth. This presents a unique opportunity for the public to contribute to scientific research and potentially make a significant impact.
