Have a Happy and Safe Total Solar Eclipse America! On Monday, August 21, 2017, all of North America will be treated to an eclipse of the sun. Anyone within the ...path of totality can see one of nature’s most awe inspiring sights - a total solar eclipse. This path, where the moon will completely cover the sun and the sun's tenuous atmosphere - the corona - can be seen, will stretch from Salem, Oregon to Charleston, South Carolina. Observers outside this path will still see a partial solar eclipse where the moon covers part of the sun's disk. NASA created this website (https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/) to provide a guide to this amazing event. Here you will find activities, events, broadcasts, and resources from NASA and their partners across the nation. Help solve an ancient mystery about the eclipse: Figure out what the animals do http://www.cnn.com//animals-react-to-the-eclipse/index.html While most of us will be looking up at the eclipse August 21, you may also want to look around and take a close listen, because something unusual could be happening with the animals on our planet -- at least, we think it could. How does life respond to the dramatic event of a total solar eclipse? https://www.calacademy.org/citizen-scien/solar-eclipse-2017 There is some evidence that plant and animal life react to the environmental changes that occur during a total solar eclipse. As the sky darkens and the temperature drops, birds reportedly stop singing, spiders may tear down their webs, and gray squirrels retreat to their dens, among other observed behaviors. Many of these reports, however, are anecdotal or documented with captive animals. The California Acadamy of Science invite citizen scientists like you to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to record eclipse-related animal behavior with the iNaturalist app. Not a member of AFA?
