CATE 2024

Using a team of citizen scientists (learn how to participate), 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 35 telescopes will provide 60 continuous minutes of totality images.

WB-57s

Using two of NASA’s WB-57F research jets to chase the darkness across America on April 8, 2024, the team will take observations from twin telescopes mounted on the noses of the planes. The instruments will ­­­­­capture the clearest images of the Sun’s outer atmosphere — the corona.
