论文摘要
2017年8月21日的太阳日食跨越了北美的整个宽度,这是现代消费电子产品的第一次。因此,这成为吸引公众并吸引志愿观察员使用相对高级设备的绝佳机会;我们的计划(“ Eclipse Megamovie”)利用了这一优势,作为创建这种Eclipse摄影的第一个公共数据库的一种手段。这导致了一个大型的外展计划,涉及数百个个人,几乎完全支持志愿者,并在Google,太平洋天文学学会和加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校的机构帮助下。项目主页是\ url {http://eclipsemegamovie.org},其中包含电影本身。我们希望我们在这里的评论将有助于计划在2024年4月8日的日食中进行类似活动。
The total solar eclipse of August 21, 2017, crossed the whole width of North America, the first occasion for this during the modern age of consumer electronics. Accordingly, it became a great opportunity to engage the public and to enlist volunteer observers with relatively high-level equipment; our program ("Eclipse Megamovie") took advantage of this as a means of creating a first-ever public database of such eclipse photography. This resulted in a large outreach program, involving many hundreds of individuals, supported almost entirely on a volunteer basis and with the institutional help of Google, the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, and the University of California, Berkeley. The project home page is \url{http://eclipsemegamovie.org}, which contains the movie itself. We hope that our comments here will help with planning for similar activities in the total eclipse of April 8, 2024.
