The Eclipse Soundscapes Project is a NASA Citizen Science project funded by NASA Science Activation that is studying how eclipses affect life on Earth during the October 14, 2023 annular solar eclipse and the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse. Eclipse Soundscapes will revisit an eclipse study from almost 100 years ago that showed that animals and insects are affected by solar eclipses! Like this study from 100 years ago, ES will ask for the public’s help. ES will also use modern technology to continue to study how solar eclipses affect life on Earth!
Eclipse Soundscapes (ES) Observers and Data Collectors have submitted numerous observations and audio data from the 2023 Annular and the 2024 Total solar eclipses. Our team is actively receiving, sorting, uploading, and analyzing this information. Please check here regularly for updates on our progress.
3,373 ES Observers submitted their observations from April 8-15!
ES Data Collector sign-up and device registration (ES ID # assignment) are both required. Device registration can be completed after the eclipse but must be completed before data submission. Data submission requires that information be submitted online as well as physically, by mailing a MicroSD card. Therefore, preliminary participation numbers will be available at the end of April and final participation numbers will be available in the months after the eclipse once data receipt has been confirmed.

ES Observers
April 8th Multi-sensory Observations
Eclipse Soundscapes Observation Submission has closed. Thank you for all of your submissions! We received 3,373!
ES Data Collectors
Submit Location info online & Mail your MicroSD card.
We are currently processing your amazing data submissions through the online location form and mailed-in MicroSD cards. The list below is NOT yet complete, as we have hundreds of MicroSD cards to sort through. Please be patient and check back often! We will notify you via our Data Collector email list once the list is complete.
A Google Sheet will load below. We have almost 1000 Data Collectors registered with ES ID numbers! So the list is long. We have hidden the ES ID #s for which we currently have no data logged to make scrolling easier. You can also open the Google Spreadsheet in a separate tab by Clicking here to review 2024 Audio Data Receipt Info.
The table below shows all of the location info received online and all MicroSD cards received in our mailbox as of May 21, 2024.
If you have trouble accessing the table below, please email us at info@EclipseSoundscapes.org.
What's Next?
Be an Active member of our Learning Community!
Eclipse Soundscapes collected lots of observations and sound data from the October 14, 2023, annular solar eclipse and the April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse! The sound data and observations collected will help us understand the impact of the 2023 and 2024 solar eclipses on various U.S. ecosystems. Receiving, processing, and sharing all of this data will take some time. We will be scheduling updates webinars and sharing updates on this process via social media and the updates email list. We hope you stay involved!
Join us for a Data Upload Information Webinar on Tuesday, May 28 at 4 p.m. ET. The Eclipse Soundscapes team will explain where we are in the process of uploading data from the 2024 total solar eclipse (and how we plan to handle so much data. The webinar will be recorded for those who cannot attend live.

Data Analysis
We need your help analyzing audio data! Eclipse Soundscapes collected lots of sound data from the October 14, 2023, annular solar eclipse and the April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse! The sound data collected will help us understand the impact of the 2023 and 2024 solar eclipses on various U.S. ecosystems. First computers will analyze the audio data to determine which locations had a significant change in soundscape during Totality. Then we need your help to figure out what exactly those sounds are! When the Data Analyst role is available, we will email everyone on the ES Data Analyst updates list.
The audio data receiving and processing process consists of several stages, with us currently being in Stage 1.
Stage 1 involves:
Receiving online location notes and processing them based on location, including determining the maximum eclipse phase for each location.
Receiving and sorting MicroSD cards based on eclipse type and whether we’ve received online location notes.
Updating a spreadsheet to publicly share the information received from participants. Visit the “Did you receive my data” tab to view this spreadsheet.
Post Eclipse Webinar: Participation Stats & Data Processing Insights
Recorded 4/30/2024
In this webinar following the 2024 eclipse, the Eclipse Soundscapes (ES) team discusses the participation numbers for the Eclipse Soundscapes Project and explains Stage 1 of initial data processing, which involves receiving online location information and physical MicroSD cards from ES Data Collectors and organizing and sorting those submissions to prepare for audio data upload and computer processing.

AudioMoth Recording Device
Eclipse Soundscapes Data Collectors used AudioMoth recording devices to capture audio, which they then submitted by mailing their MicroSD cards to the ES team. With the audio data collection phase now complete, we encourage Data Collectors to continue their scientific exploration using their AudioMoths.
