Ahead of solar eclipse, NASA seeks public's help in recording strange animal behaviors
NASA's Eclipse Soundscapes Project attempts to replicate a similar study from 1935, proving the impact of solar eclipses on animal behavior. Here's how the public can help.
How so?
They last an incredibly short time, and nothing is really happening.
I guess I'd understand insects perhaps, where lives are lived on such a small scale that the slightest change to sunlight could affect them.
I've never seen dogs or cats behave oddly though, and I have a sneaking suspicion that anything pointing to it is sheer bullshit that had an intended goal.
It gets dark. Birds go it's dark now. I stop singing. Crickets go It's dark now. I start chirping.
edit: it's not the high level of weirdness that animals exhibit when an earthquake is incoming.
Flowers close too.
