Phytoplankton are tiny, but they come together to have a huge impact on our planet and its processes. For Earth Day, think of something else on Earth that involves a lot of smaller parts coming together to make something big. Submit your art here!

Last month, we asked you to create art showing what wacky things could happen on Earth if there were no leap years! These selections will make you glad we have leap years!

#DYK During a total solar eclipse, the normal rhythms of Earth are briefly disrupted. The temperature drops and plants & animals react as if it is dusk. Birds can be seen flying home to settle in for sleep midday. Coverage begins at 1 ET:

The Snap It! game lets players help out the Traveler, an enthusiastic character who loves to explore the universe. The Traveler has previously learned about black holes and is now visiting Earth to learn about eclipses. Let's play!

On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America. A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun. Check out this gif; are you in the path of totality?
