Testing the Eclipse Application

Two Ideum team members are testing an application designed to capture the 2019 solar eclipse. On July 2, a total solar eclipse will blaze a path across Chile and Argentina—and Ideum’s new Eclipse Camera 2019 mobile app gives viewers unique ways to take part in this amazing stellar experience.

Designed in collaboration with the Space Sciences Laboratory at UC Berkeley, Eclipse Camera 2019 makes users participants in an international citizen-science project. When people use the app to take images and video of the moon inching across the face of the sun and the glowing solar corona, those images, plus the time and location data they’re associated with, can be sent to scientists to create a massive dataset of eclipse observations.
