Here is what the ISS crew would see if they had any back windows:

If you are able to measure the microwave background radiation, the spectrum profile should change a bit during the eclipse.
Certain peaks should reduce in frequency / increase in wavelength.

Ooo, got oscilloscope & ability to rig probes.... i been wondering what kind of fluctuations might show up in the 'background noise', microwaves hadn't occurred to me, props... I wonder: what's THAT probe gonna be made of......? Hmm.

Depends; do you have, or have access to, an extremely sensitve scale? (~1 microgram accuracy or better).

If so, weigh a 3x3 cm sheet of aluminum foil prior to the eclipse, during it, and again afterwards.

If you can leave it on the scale and not reset it between weighings, that would be preferable, as handling it may leave some kind of residue on it.

I'm an 'electrical experimenter' in Austin, Texas - fortunately situated to catch the eclipse on 4/8/24. Anybody got suggestions for interesting things to record or observe from my vantage point?
