North American observers will witness the next total solar eclipse in less than two months as it crosses over the United States, Mexico and Canada. Rather than just watch the rare phenomenon, onlookers can join in on the fun as a citizen scientist.
According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, citizen scientists help make important scientific discoveries. Citizen science projects allow scientists to collaborate with the public, whether it’s discovering and reporting previously unknown comets or searching for solar jets — enigmatic bursts of energy from the Sun.
Another way to participate: know there is an eclipse...
... and being unable to see, because it's stuck in the mempool 🤠
