Many people will gather at eclipse parties and those large gatherings can impact pets if they're brought along, Klein said. The travel, noise and crowds can be stressful for animals. Some animals that depend more on the light-dark cycle, like birds, may be more affected because the sky wi...
I also encourage you to monitor your pets at home. If you have a dog, let it be outdoors during the eclipse and watch its behavior. Chances are during the solar eclipse it will want to rest and perhaps even lie down. For a better understanding of how the solar eclipse will affect ani...
The biggest concern though, is to not bring your pets with you to area where there will hordes of people. There will be a heightened energy in the air, where people are viewing the eclipse in large groups. This could definitely increase your dog's stress. But like anything where pets are...
When millions of people look to the skies on April 8 to witness the total solar eclipse, scientists will be studying how the phenomenon will affect plant and animal activity on Earth. The eclipse may last just mere minutes for those in the path of totality, but the effect it has...
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between Earth and the sun, darkening the sky and making it seem, for a few minutes, like nighttime. Most of western P.E.I. will see a total eclipse on Monday, while the re...
How do animals interact with the Earth's magnetic field? How do animals maintain homeostasis in different climates? How do chimpanzees help the environment? How is animal behavior affected by a solar eclipse? How do pets affect child development?

We hope to use these recordings to figure out why some animals might be more or less affected by a solar eclipse. For example,artificial light at nightcan affectbird physiology, behavior and abundance, and the total solar eclipse gives us a new way to test ...
Partial lunar eclipse:During a partial lunar eclipse, only part of the moon enters Earth's shadow, which may look like it is taking a "bite" out of the lunar surface. Earth's shadow will appear dark on the side of the moon facing Earth. How much of a "bite" we see depends on ho...
