NASA GLOBE Observer’s Weekly Roundup: 25 June- 1 July 2017

This summer is going to be an exciting one for citizen scientists. This and more in this week's roundup.

1. IMAGE OF THE WEEK: The above is an image of a past total eclipse of the sun. On 21 August the sun will be eclipsed by the moon. This eclipse will be visible to all residents of the United States.  And if you live in the path of totality you will be able to experience a total solar eclipse. This could be a once in a lifetime event -- one you will not want to miss.  To learn more and how to protect your eyes while viewing the eclipse check out the links below.
