Solar Eclipses

Total solar eclipses are one of the most beautiful phenomena we can ever hope to witness on Earth. In April 2024, I shared the wonder of the solar eclipse with school children along the Texas-Mexico boarder, via social media, and by co-hosting the U.S. National Science Foundation's eclipse livestream from beneath the shadow of the Moon. 

In 2024, I published an article in the Bulletin of the American Astronomical Society (BAAS) about how eclipse outreach via TikTok can be used to collect public reactions to total solar eclipses.

From my personal channel: a YouTube video describing creative ways
to view a solar eclipse.
