San Francisco Science Museum to Livestream Eclipse Via Mobile Apps

The Exploratorium science museum in San Francisco is producing live feeds Monday of the solar eclipse that will be available to the public via Android and iOS apps. Content will include telescope feeds from Casper, Wyoming, and Madras, Oregon; a live performance by the Kronos Quartet, “eclipse sonification” from San Francisco; and educational programs with scientific explanations of the eclipse by Exploratorium and NASA scientists. For sonification, live video is converted into raw data that’s converted into computer-generated sound that will provide the audio track for the San Francisco feed, said the museum. The apps are available from Google Play and the App Store.
