Dear Megamovie Friends,

The Eclipse Megamovie Project has been appearing all over the news and in the media lately! For starters, Megamovie team member and documentary filmmaker Mark Bender helped produce an online documentary about the 2017 solar eclipse. It premiered July 13th on Curiosity Stream. Watch Episode 4 to hear about the Eclipse Megamovie Project!

Members of the Megamovie team also wrote about the project for the Discover magazine blog and in the August issue of Sky & Telescope. In the Discover article, Alexei Filippenko and Hugh Hudson explain the phenomenon of a total solar eclipse and the significance of the Megamovie citizen science project. In Sky & Telescope, Hugh Hudson and Mark Bender also discuss the project. The full print August issue of Sky & Telescope is available at newsstands now. 

Have you ever wondered how the Megamovie will be made, after you have submitted your eclipse photographs? Read this scientific paper on the development of an algorithm to stitch together multiple eclipse images as initially presented back in 2015 by Eclipse Megamovie team members Larisza Krista and Scott McIntosh. 

Thanks as always for your support - and remember, the August 21, 2017 total solar eclipse is only 37 days away. Are you ready?!

Karen Chow
On behalf of the entire Eclipse Megamovie Project team
