Chasing the Sun 2024

Using a team of citizen scientists, Citizen Continental-America Telescope Eclipse (CATE) will provide next-generation polarized observations during the 2024 total solar eclipse that crosses the United States from Texas to Maine. The network of 60 equally-spaced telescopes along the eclipse path offer a long-duration study of the lower to middle corona. Following the successful observations during the 2017 total solar eclipse, CATE 2024 adds polarization measurements to the science data.
