Eclipse Soundscapes Observers will be using all of the senses available to them to observe whether there are changes in animal and insect behavior during eclipse maximum (as compared to immediately before and after eclipse maximum). Solar eclipses can seem almost like a sped-up version of dusk-night-dawn! What should you be listening or watching for as the Moon slowly creeps in front of the Sun making it seem like dusk, night, and dawn happen in just a few minutes!? It helps to get prepared!
