  • Summary

  • With the total solar eclipse visible over parts of North America in just a few days, Casey and Sara discuss what we know about animal behavior during eclipse events. Listen to find out:

    • What are Baily's Beads and why does Sara like them so much?
    • How would Casey's pets respond to a total solar eclipse?
    • Why should we care about how animals act during an eclipse?

    If you are in the path of the eclipse, whether total or partial, you can join North Carolina State University's Solar Eclipse Safari project or take a look at NASA's Eclipse Soundscapes project.

    And if you are viewing the eclipse, remember to do so safely! Never look directly at the sun! Total Solar Eclipse Safety - NASA
