Eclipse Megamovie is a NASA-funded citizen science project that engages photographers across the United States to capture images of the Sun’s outermost atmosphere – the corona – during the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. Volunteers will use DSLR cameras on mounts that will track the Sun’s position in the sky to record changes in the Sun’s corona during the eclipse.

how do these features in the Solar Corona this atmosphere of the Sun how do those change sometimes they escape from the Sun sometimes they go back towards the Sun and that region is hard to um really study and we're going to get this little Glimpse from Earth my name is Laura pacis and I am the principal investigator for the eclipse Mega Movie 2024 project so what's really unique about the eclipse especially one like the one coming up is that it's covering a very large path on land and that mean
s a lot of observers can be viewing it over an extended period of time in this case we are able to take images along that entire path in ways that you can't just do from one location on Earth or one location in space and that gives us this really unique data set in 2017 we made a movie of all the images this time we know how to make the movie more Dynamic and we're going to have more exposures meaning that we'll be able to see more of the features in the Solar Chona than we were before and altho
ugh it's maybe not what one might think in terms of a movie in terms of people and a plot but for us solar physicists it is very exciting to see even the smallest changes in the corona at the time scale we're going to [Music] get
