In my location, there will be a partial solar eclipse on the 29th March peaking at about 35%, but I see this as a preparation for a total eclipse for some of Europe in 2026.
Partially based on https://youtu.be/IuUMxNfDfFY?si=ILf-Q8HwBbLL-AVZ this experiment from Matt Parker last year with a light meter.
I will be running an experiment on phyphox on an old phone to collect:
GPS data (location)
Magnetometer
Light Illuminance.
Samples are taken at a 10 second interval.
As the phone will be left in the sun for several hours, some thin opaque packing material is used to shield the phone and diffuse the incoming light.
In my case I have a secure area that won't be shaded at the time of the eclipse, both for security and to reduce interference in the measurements.
