is a big issue in the run-up to April 8, but what few realize is that it can change because of the eclipse itself. So NASA hasan appeal to eclipse chasers across the U.S. on April 8 to help scientists track what happens to clouds and temperature.almost instantly when a partial solar eclipse begins. It’s also common knowledge that the temperature drops during an eclipse, often by as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit, though that depends on the ambient conditions.
However, April 8’s solar eclipse —which will take place from inside a narrow path across North America—brings a unique opportunity for massive citizen science projects.” project needs eclipse chasers—both inside the path of totality and outside, across North America—to record changes in cloud conditions and temperature. The aim, of course, is to see what happens in the sky when the sun is blocked.Pro-Ukraine Russian Fighters Are Marching Deeper Into Russia. But Taking Territory Isn’t The Goal.
This theory will be put to the test once again on April 8, when most locations in the path of totality have about a 50% to 70% chance of clouds. While everyone in North America will see the partial phases through solar eclipse glasses, only those within the 115-mile-wide track of the moon’s shadow will enjoy a brief totality. It will last up to 4 minutes and 26 seconds in Mexico and Texas, reducing by a minute or so as the path of totality tracks southwest to northeast across the U.S. and Canada.
