Amy Knack in Boulder, CO is a team of passionate scientists, educators, and enthusiasts who are dedicated to exploring the secret lives of solar jets and plumes. Funded by NASA, their Eclipse Megamovie project utilizes photographs taken by volunteers to identify and study these solar phenomena, aiming to understand their behavior as they leave the Sun's surface and move into the solar wind.
With a history dating back to 2011, the team has successfully documented the Great American Total Solar Eclipse in 2017, creating a movie of the solar corona from thousands of images submitted by citizen scientists. Now, they are gearing up for the Eclipse Megamovie 2024 project, aiming to characterize transient plasma features in the solar corona while improving the aesthetic quality of their megamovie. Join their research if you have a DSLR camera and a tripod, and contribute to real scientific research of the sun.
