Citizen scientists across the U.S. will contribute today to our knowledge of how a solar eclipse's sudden darkness and temperature changes impact life on Earth.

NASA's Eclipse Soundscapes Project invites anyone in or near the path of the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse to collect multi-sensory observations and audio data that will help document how animals and insects respond to the dramatic changes in their environment.

Supported by experts in acoustics and ecology, this project advances scientific exploration and soundscape ecology research and builds on similar historical eclipse studies.
