Two of the projects also encourage participation from citizen scientists. The projects, which are led by researchers at different academic institutions, will study the Sun and its influence on Earth with a variety of instruments, including cameras aboard high-altitude research planes, ham radios, and more. NASA will fund five interdisciplinary science projects for the 2024 eclipse to make the most of this opportunity. In addition to casting a breathtaking, passing shadow over the heads of millions of people, this total solar eclipse gives scientists a unique opportunity to study the Sun, Earth, and their interactions. Using a mix of high-altitude cameras, spectrometers, ham radios, and citizen science, the projects aim to investigate the Sun’s corona, radio wave propagation during solar eclipses, solar radiation’s impact on Earth’s upper atmosphere, and the activity of solar “hot spots.” These studies will enhance our understanding of the Sun and its influence on Earth.Ī total solar eclipse will darken a swath of North America as the Moon blocks the light of the Sun for a few minutes on April 8, 2024. NASA is funding five diverse research projects to exploit the scientific opportunities presented by the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. These studies, led by researchers from various academic institutions, will utilize diverse tools including cameras on high-altitude research planes and ham radios. A total solar eclipse scheduled for April 8, 2024, offers an invaluable opportunity for scientific exploration and NASA is set to fund five interdisciplinary projects to capitalize on this.
