The Eclipse & Community Science
Community science (sometimes referred to as "participatory science" or "citizen science") is public participation in scientific research. You don't have to have a formal background in science. People of all ages and backgrounds, just like you, can help make observations, collect data and contribute to scientific discovery.
We will have a 95% view of the eclipse here in Rensselaerville, which means we are in a great location for observations. Participate in the Eclipse Soundscapes Project. Share your multi-sensory observations via social media with #EclipseSoundscapes and include your location. What did you hear, feel, and/or see during totality on April 8, 2024? You can also complete a more in-depth observation submission to earn a certificate as an Eclipse Soundscapes Observer: Observer Training (20-30 min)
