Totality by Big Kid Science
Totality by Big Kid Science, a free educational app now owned by the nonprofit American Astronomical Society, aims to provide a way for people to learn about eclipses and locate upcoming ones around the world. This includes the 2023 annular eclipse and the 2024 total eclipse that will pass across North America.
The app, sponsored by the American Astronomical Society, offers several features. It includes an interactive map that displays what will be visible at any location for upcoming annular and total solar eclipses. It also provides information on past eclipses. Using GPS, the app can inform users of what they will see at their current location and show nearby locations where they can witness annularity or totality. Additionally, the app offers navigation tools to help plan the best route to the path of totality.
The Learn screen provides options for safely viewing a solar eclipse, understanding the science behind eclipses, and more. It even includes a set of classroom activities. The Shop screen offers a selection of space and science books, including a children’s book specifically designed for use with the app. It also features eclipse glasses for safe viewing of the Sun at any time and provides links to space education nonprofits.
Totality by Big Kid Science is a free app brought to you without ads as a public service by Big Kid Science and the American Astronomical Society. It is available in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese, depending on the language setting on your device.
