ECLIPSE MEGAMOVIE
The Eclipse MegaMovie is our effort to leverage millions of people across the entire USA and use their own "Smart Phones" to "Crowd Source" thousands and thousands of images from all along the path of totality in a unique experiment. By combining these iamges the experiment hopes to capture a contiguous "movie" of the entire 90 minute landfall of totality.
