During the upcoming eclipse (08 April 2024), scientists will be looking at cloud and temperature changes to see if there are any variations across the different climate regions the eclipse will impact.  >>

Are you planning an eclipse event on or before 8 April? GLOBE has a number of resources that can be useful as a display or interactive activity. These tips are gathered from the 2023 annular eclipse  >>

A new data request function is now available in the GLOBE Observer app. The function will let scientists and communities request GLOBE Observer data collection in specific geographic regions to support research or community needs.  >>

The NASA Moon Trees Quest asked a great deal from our GLOBE Observers around the States, and observers delivered: during the quest, there were 90 individual Apollo 14 Moon Trees and Moon Tree species identified, measured, and documented in the GLOBE database.  >>

The GLOBE Program had a strong presence at the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting, held from 11 December to 15 December in San Francisco, California, USA. Nearly thirty posters or presentations referenced GLOBE, including some student posters that will be presented virtually in January.  >>

Our dynamic planet is an intricate patchwork of forests, fields, cities … However, mapping Earth's diverse landscapes is an immense challenge for scientists. Satellite imaging has its limitations, while traditional field surveys are time-consuming and sparse. Now, help is coming from an unexpected source: crowds of everyday citizen scientists. Read a summary of a new scientific paper exploring the power of crowdsourcing for land cover data.  >>

Thank you to everyone who participated in data collection during the annular solar eclipse on 14 October 2023! Our team is working on a more detailed analysis of the data (stay tuned for more on that later), but we wanted to share a few preliminary stats and highlight some images from volunteer scientists and GLOBE Observer team members.  >>

When you submit data to GLOBE through the GLOBE Observer app, it goes to a public database where your observations are available for anyone worldwide to do research. Those researchers include students such as Christopher Sun, Jay Nimbalkar, and Ravnoor Bedi.  >>

Most people who live in North, Central, or South America will experience an annular or “ring of fire” eclipse on 14 October 2023! On this day, the Moon will move between the Earth and Sun, blocking all but a glowing ring of light for several minutes. What happens in the atmosphere when the Moon blocks the Sun’s light, even briefly? GLOBE invites everyone to help answer that question by recording changes in temperature and sky conditions on 14 October, even if you are only experiencing a partial eclipse. The updated GLOBE Eclipse tool is available in practice mode now in the app! (Visible to users in North, Central, and South America.)  >>

¡La mayoría de las personas que viven en América del Norte, Central o del Sur experimentarán un eclipse anular o “anillo de fuego” el 14 de octubre de 2023! En este día, la Luna se moverá entre la Tierra y el Sol, bloqueando todo excepto un anillo de luz brillante durante varios minutos. ¿Qué sucede en la atmósfera cuando la Luna bloquea la luz del Sol, aunque sea brevemente? GLOBE invita a todos a ayudar a responder esa pregunta registrando los cambios en la temperatura y las condiciones del cielo el 14 de octubre, incluso si solo estás experimentando un eclipse parcial. ¡La herramienta GLOBE Eclipse actualizada ya está disponible en modo práctica en la aplicación! (Visible para usuarios de Norteamérica, Centroamérica y Sudamérica).  >>
