NASA Needs Your Smartphone During April’s Solar Eclipse
`
POPULAR SCIENCE 3/21/24 "The free SunSketcher app will use your phone’s camera to record the event and help study the sun’s ‘oblateness.’ The agency is calling on anyone within the upcoming eclipse’s path to totality to participate in its SunSketcher program. The program will amass volunteer researcher data to better understand the star’s shape. To participate, all you need is NASA’s free app, which uses a smartphone’s camera coupled with its GPS coordinates to record the eclipse. With your help, we hope to create a massive hour-long database of observations, more than we could ever make on our own,” NASA says. ________________-__ [Related: NASA wants you to record crickets during April’s solar eclipse] https://www.popsci.com/science/nasa-...y-soundscapes/ ________________________ https://www.popsci.com/science/nasa-...oblateness.%27 . |

I just read this: "The New York State Police has issued a warning about how the upcoming solar eclipse may affect cell service as thousands of people flock to the state to view the astronomical phenomenon." :scratch2: . |
But but I thought the government already had control of our phones.....!:yikes:
