How Will the Solar Eclipse Affect Animals? NASA Needs Your Help to Find Out

The upcoming solar eclipse has sparked curiosity among scientists about how it will impact animal behavior. NASA is calling for the public’s help in observing and documenting any changes in animal activity during the eclipse.

Animals are known to react to changes in their environment, including fluctuations in light and temperature. The sudden darkness caused by a solar eclipse could disrupt their usual patterns and trigger unusual behaviors.

NASA is asking citizen scientists to report any observations of animals during the eclipse, such as changes in feeding habits, movements, vocalizations, or other behaviors. By collecting data from across the country, scientists hope to gain insight into how different species might react to this rare event.
