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

In other anecdotes, onlookers have reported birds that stop singing, crickets that stopped chirping, or bees that return to their hive, reduce their foraging, or suspend their flight during total darkness. But there are also studies that deny that some of these behaviors occur or can be attributed to the eclipse.Therefore, NASA scientists plan not only to systematize observations but also to document what people hear and see under the shadow of the moon.“The Great North American Eclipse”NASA has created the Eclipse Soundscapes citizen science project to collect the experiences of volunteers.
