2017 #TotalSolarEclipse Data from homemade Solar-X device:
All the sensors: Temperature, Visible, Infrared, UV and Solar power output registered a dip during the Solar Eclipse with peak dips during Totality.
Visible light dropped: 35%
Infrared: 87.5%
Solar Power Output: 95%

Solar Cell Output showed the most variation. It dipped gradually at first and then started dipping drastically as Totality neared.
We concluded that a major portion of the Sun had to be covered by the Moon before human eyes notice any measurable change.

Temperature Change during #TotalSolarEclipse:
Temperature prior to Eclipse (first contact) was 34°C. The temperature readings were slowly rising before the eclipse.
But 1h 20 min into the eclipse, it started dipping. At totality, the temperature had dropped 10%, to 30.5°C.

As a part of our #CitizenScience Initiative, we collected data for #NASAGlobeObserver @NASAGO
We collected observations pertaining to cloud cover every 20 minutes and temperature 10 minutes and shared it with them.
