Citizen scientists contributed over 80,000 air temperature measurements and nearly 20,000 clouds observations during the 2017 solar eclipse across North America, as well as hundreds of additional observations during the 2019 and 2020 eclipses in South America. The Eclipse tool will next be active in the GLOBE Observer app for the annular eclipse in October 2023. In the meantime, you can analyze eclipse data with your participants or start preparing for an upcoming solar eclipse.
