GLOBE Observer App Users Contribute Astronomical Number of Eclipse Observations!
On 21 August, GLOBE Observer app users contributed an astronomical number – over 105,000 observations from nearly 10,500 users – of solar eclipse observations! (And these are only preliminary numbers!)
The GLOBE Program would like to thank everyone who journeyed out into the field to assist in data collection for this unique experiment, and experience. Your data will improve our understanding of how solar energy is absorbed and reflected in Earth’s atmosphere.
Click here to check out the data observation contributions from throughout the path of totality and beyond (if you zoom out, you can see that observations were sent in from Alaska, Central America, and South America).
