GLOBE Observer Eclipse App

The video explains the effects of a total solar eclipse on the environment and introduces a NASA citizen science project. Viewers in North America can participate by using the Globe Ezada app to collect data on air temperature and clouds during the eclipse. The data will help scientists study the impact of the eclipse on Earth's temperature. The video provides instructions on using the app and emphasizes the importance of global data contribution.
