Pedro Vázquez and Genius Black, citizen scientists participating in the Citizen Continental America Telescopic Eclipse 2024 experiment, visited Brian and April Morrison's home in Monticello, Aroostook County, Maine, to practice for the total solar eclipse on April 8 [94094bd9]. The Morrison family provided a location with a clear view of the sky for the eclipse, and the South Portland NASA team brought burgers and other food for a barbecue [94094bd9]. The visit led to a friendship between the two families, and the Morrison family has been invited to the 2026 total solar eclipse in Iceland [94094bd9]. As part of their agreement with NASA, Vázquez and Genius Black can keep the telescope and equipment and plan to create a space where people from marginalized or disadvantaged backgrounds can learn how to use it [94094bd9].
