SunSketcher is a citizen science initiative designed for the April 8th, 2024 Great North American Eclipse. By using this app, users can contribute to a massive database of eclipse images that will aid scientists in more accurately modeling the Sun. The app utilizes your location to determine the timing of totality, enabling automatic photo capture during the eclipse without the need for manual adjustments.

Citizen science involves collaborative research with volunteers from the general public, allowing for the collection and analysis of extensive datasets. SunSketcher aims to create a comprehensive database of Baily's Bead images, which will significantly enhance our understanding of the Sun's shape and aid in studying solar interior flows.
