Solar eclipse in a remote island
On March 20 2015 there is going to be a solar eclipse. One of the few places you can see the total eclipse is Faroe Islands.
Two astronomers asked people in the Faroe islands to take pictures during the month of March 2014 at 9:40 in the morning. The idea was to track the cloud coverage in preparation for the eclipse.
This is called citizen science. You can learn about this project here: http://astronomerswithoutborders.org/321-awb-blog/dark/gam-2014-blog/2139-solar-eclipse-education-in-the-faroe-islands.html
