"Must-Have Apps and DIY Tools for Safely Viewing the Solar Eclipse"
As the annular solar eclipse approaches on October 14, two smartphone apps have been recommended for those interested in viewing the event. "OneEclipse" by Astronomers Without Borders provides information, maps, and simulations of the eclipse, with proceeds supporting the organization's astronomy initiatives. "Totality 3.0" by Big Kid Science offers easy access to eclipse maps and timings for multiple upcoming eclipses, including the annular solar eclipse in 2023 and the total solar eclipse in 2024. Both apps are available on iOS and Android platforms.
