NASA's Eclipse Soundscapes Project studies wildlife reactions to total solar eclipses, collecting citizen-scientist audio data during the April 8 eclipse in Mexico, US, and Canada.

NASA is conducting a study called Eclipse Soundscapes Project on 2024 April 8, the time of the total solar eclipse, to understand how wildlife responds to such events. Aimed at collecting audio data and observations from citizen scientists, the project will track the changes in sounds animals make when exposed to the sudden darkness and temperature drops. This research aims to provide insights into the reactions of ecosystems during astronomical events.
