This video convinced me to go see this with my kid in 2024 who was 18 months at the time he's now 8 and was amazed as I was today in Mont Mégantic with 2500 people who experience a perfect weather dead center full solar eclipse. Couldn't ask anything better! Thanks Derek
j'étais la aussi! Même si on était 2500 personnes il y a eu un 10 secondes de silence total au tout début c'était magique! (I was there too! Even if we were 2500 people there was a short time period where everyone stayed silent when the eclipse started... it was amazing)
I saw this in southern Illinois...it was super hot and humid that day. The coolest and eeriest thing was the sudden and refreshing drop in temperature and how nature reacted. As soon as totality started, the cicadas starting singing and the birds went silent.
My Dad, myself, and two of my closest friends went to Sparta Tennessee to watch this eclipse. I synced pink floyd dark side of the moon to the time of totality (dad's favorite album). It has come to be the absolute favorite memory of my life. In July of 2018 my father was diagnosed with terminal cancer and passed away April 2nd 2020. Until his last day he thanked me for convincing him to come with me to experience this once in a lifetime event. I will never forget this special day. Love ya dad and I'll see you on the dark side of the moon!
Hey man, i'm in the same boat with you. my dad passed away on april 13th 2018, from a lung infection. this was one of the best moments my family had ever had with him. It's moments like this that keep me moving. i miss my old man.
I was not far away at the Eclipse Festival. It’s impossible to describe the sensation of the moment of totality. 50,000 people howling like animals, the air getting cold, the stars coming out. It’s the only time in my life I could really feel the immensity of the moon and the sun. I don’t quite know how else to say it, except that it was by far the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen.
@@afridgetoofar1818 I AM SO GLAD YOU GUYS FEEL THE SAME WAY!!! Before I saw it, I thought all of the pictures prepared me for what it was going to look like. But when I saw it, I was blown away. I did not know something could be so beautiful. And, I have been searching videos ever since looking for ANYTHING that even comes close to representing what I saw with my eyes. It's so nice to see people who feel similarly. I wasn't sure if I was alone.
I saw it today. I have seen partial solar eclipses, but never in totality until today. It was absolutely amazing, I did not expect it to be as moving as it was. I think you can’t really grasp how it makes people feel unless you see it for yourself.
@@afridgetoofar1818 I could not agree more. Not only do pictures and videos not do it justice, they fail to depict totality in a way that literally no other experience in life defies. It is unfathomable how badly videos and pictures fail to depict the total eclipse, unless you experience totality yourself.
Here in the UK we had a total eclipse back in August 1999 (We are not due another for another 100 years apparently) where I live was just outside the path of totality, but I still managed to see almost all of the sun covered and the light turning to dusk. Its eerie when you hear all the birds suddenly start singing.
Slender Bunny I know right. I see all of these people mocking their reaction and all that tells me is that they have never witnessed one first hand. For me, it was one of the most moving and awe inspiring moments of my life
Slender Bunny Waiting for someone to comment this. I am a person that never cheers for anything but I have never seen something that moved me as much as what I saw. There is a group on RUclips who goes around comment negative stuff as if they themselves are Jesus. These people usually insult other people by pretending they are above everyone else. I have seen so many in these eclipse videos, probably because they have no idea the true expirence yet they have seen pictures and thought they are experts. In short I really don't like this cinical croud of RUclips.
Guys, if you are anywhere close to the next one happening in 2024 across the US... GO TO IT. It is an amazing event. I won't forget this last one until I die. It is an indescribable event and YOU HAVE TO BE THERE. The videos and the pictures do not do it justice. Trust me. Trust people who have seen it. It is well-worth your time.
I saw it in person. A lot of videos fail to capture how it really looked. This is the closest to how I remember it. Also, the temp dropped and cicadas started making noise.
The dewpoint was high in Carbondale, IL. It was very hot and humid, around 95 degrees with a heat index around 110. During the eclipse, the temperature dropped to about 81, and the heat index went down as well, making it very pleasant outside. I imagine there was more of a dramatic temperature drop out west were the air was drier.
@darkdezire could you say more about how this video captured what you saw? was it the sun with the donut hole? or the spliced in images that looked like NASA images? The sun with donut hole surprised me. I thought more of the sun would be covered in totality.
@@NYTruthseeker well, the sun is blocked by the moon, yes, but not totally. that's why in the filtered video, you can see the glorious ring when the sun reaches totality. light is still coming out from the sun to earth, and since the light is coming from multiple directions, you will see the sun as a donut with your naked eye.
I still get chill bumps when I recall the 2017 eclipse. As great as this video is, no video can come remotely close to recreating the experience of actually witnessing a total eclipse in person.
I envy. I'm flying to Arkansas Sunday. I've been checking the forecast for a WEEK and it's been storms storms storms. Today it's saying partly sunny. I am BEGGING the universe. I've known this was coming for fifteen years. I was unable to travel in 2017 but witnessed 83% which was cool. But this is what I'm after.
I saw my first totality today and I gotta say... I was pretty damn speechless too. It's almost impossible to describe what it actually looks like without seeing one yourself.
There was an annular solar eclipse that happened in America on June 22, 1694 and a Hybrid Solar eclipse that also happened in America on July 12, 1684. So maybe these eclipses can give you your answer.
there is a total solar eclipse every 18 months dude, google it. Its rare for one specific spot to get it though, but if you are willing to travel, you can see one every 18 months
I could actually feel the emotions that he was feeling during the filming of this. I remember being in awe of just 75% totality but to be able to see complete totality would have been so surreal. This actually gave me goosebumps.
It was amazing such a crazy feeling seeing something like this I was insanely lucky for my house be in the path of totality and we all had the day off such a crazy experience something you would never forgot there’s nothing in the world that can compare the the sight of a total solar eclipse’s makes your think your left earth
Omg I literally CRIED watching this...I live where the April eclipse will be in totality and I'm so excited to see one in person..thank you for sharing
2:28 I’ll never forget this image. Most beautiful sight I’ve ever saw with my own eyes. Almost better than the full eclipse itself. It looks like the biggest ring with the brightest jewel in the sky
luke sumberg that's why there are so many stories about dragons or great frogs eating the sun, and superstitions that people should clap and scream and bang pots and pans to scare the dragon away.
Juan Caballero Actually, not really. A lot of mythologies tell about eclipses, and claimed that something was eating the sun, and the only way to make it leave the sun alone is to make a lot of noise
luke sumberg Thousands of years ago *most* people/civilizations paid more atention to astronomy than we do today (besides nasa and similar). Their nights were darker so when they looked up at the sky they could see things we cant see now. Im sure they were fine.
I live in Canada, but I'm obsessed with space, and it's been like the number one thing on my bucket list to see a solar eclipse so my dad and I took a road trip all the way down to Tennessee. I can't even explain how incredible it was, I remember specifically at the moment it happened, the entire crowd I was with began to cheer and whoop, just like in the video. it was amazing, definitely one of the best moments of my life, and I think that everyone should be able to see an eclipse irl in their lifetime
Seeing one in real life is my dream. I love space and everything to do with it. Sadly, my sister doesn't agree. I showed her this video, and she just looked, somehow, unimpressed. Just imagine, being unimpressed by a total solar eclipse! BTW if you love solar eclipses, I would suggest you read "Every Soul a Star" by Wendy Mass. Fantastic author, and the story is all about a total solar eclipse.
Nothing makes me feel smaller than seeing a celestial event that I am powerless to affect. This isn't a bad thing, but it is an interesting emotional experience. Great video! Thank you for filming it!
@@itsthequenchiest5072 Actually, Covid started in December of 2019 in Wuhan China, and that’s why it was named Covid 19. However, it did not come to the US until March of 2020. As of May 2021, we have had it in the US for 14 months now.
Being in such a massive crowd takes away one another impressive part of the eclipse: the sound of silence. In 1999, my dad and I were in France. Noticing the clouds were ruining our experience,we jumped in the car and had a wild ride along small countryside roads to a location where the sun was still shining. Minutes before the total eclipse, we stopped the car in the middle of nowhere and jumped out of it. Those last minutes were unforgettable. As if nature surrendered for this phenomenon, all crickets, birds, dogs and other creatures - including the both us - became absolutely silent. That overwhelming sound of silence with the beauty of the eclipse and within the company of my dad is still one of the most precious memories in my mind.
That’s awesome you got to see it like that, but it’s become such a popular event that it’s hard to find anywhere (that’s not private land) that you can view it on with no one around
I watched the 2017 eclipse on the side of the road in SC. Everything went silent in nature, it got cooler a few degrees but then the birds started singing loud and the crickets started chirping and a cool wind started blowing. It was interesting to see the changes in nature as the eclipse was happening
Watching your reaction makes me feel so much less self-conscious about how I reacted to the totality. It was this weird combination of fascination and excitement and I don't even know what. Apparently this is just the sort of thing that makes people speechless!
It's the single most amazing thing I have ever experienced. It's one thing to see it on a screen - it's a totally different thing to see the actual sun go dark. Every sense in your body is screaming that something is WRONG, and that makes it feel all the more surreal.
Got to experience the 2024 Eclipse at home in Dallas. It was an amazing experience. I was shaking and tearing up at awe of the sight 🥺 It went by so fast
I’ve seen a total solar eclipse before and it’s one of the THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN IN YOUR LIFETIME. Seriously, it’s so incredibly beautiful and raw. 💖
100%.. I remember every aspect of the whole day, it's burned in my mind. This video brought me to tears, hands down the most beautiful natural phenomenon I've ever seen. I get chills every time I think about it
@@tff1293 The world and the universe is just a beautiful thing. I'm glad other people can realize and see the beauty of it. I remember people saying the 2017 eclipse was a life changing experience for them.
Just saw it in South Carolina on Lake Murray South Carolina. Words and video do not do its justice to how beautiful the eclipse really was. When the sun reappeared, it was the purest white light i have ever seen in my life. If you were not in the path of totality, I highly recommend you wait for the one in 2024.
TheBenfm24 Or just visit another country where the eclipse is happening. Murica isn't that important you know? Not everyone lives there. Americans are so self absorbed it's amazing
The next two total solar eclipses will give you very little chance to see totality, as will the 3rd one unless you think millions of people will decide to travel to Antarctica. The 4th, 2024 one, will cross the most land than the last 3, giving millions the chance to witness it. We're talking about totality, not just any eclipse. I don't get why people are so butthurt about a country being excited for something that hasn't happened in nearly 100 years. The next one on 2024 will probably be viewed by more than the next 3 combined, if we're all still here. :3 America can be a shitty place, with shitty people, ruled by shitty "leaders", but don't generalize.
I saw it in the NC mountains. There is no equal to being in Totality and experiencing the moon fitting perfectly over the sun for a few minutes. No video or photo capture that event, and if you can, make the next available event. Since the earth is 7/8 water, mostly the eclipse path is not on land, but this one traveled the US from West to South. It was an awesome beyond words.
Missed totality in 2017 but traveled to the middle of the path for 2024. Seeing totality was the coolest thing I've ever seen, hands down. No video or photo does it justice. Planning on traveling to Spain in 2026 to see the next one.
Was between Idaho City and Lowman with my Nephew on top a mountain, the switch back below the mountain we were on, a group of people had parked to watch it broke the absolute silence playing some music and you could hear them whooping about 30 seconds into totality... just before it and as it started there was an eerie dead silence. Some annoying grouse and/or pheasants were making some funny noises moments before as well as some cute chipmunks. Then absolute silence and rapid coolness and breezes.
Imagine the people who didn't even know that the solar eclipse was happening. They started shiting themselves when they look at the time and it was 3 but it was night.
knowing how something works vs. experiencing it yourself are two totally different things. It's viewing it with your own two eyes....something that you don't see every day or maybe something you might only see once in your life is a humbling experience for some, myself included
Total solar eclipse is really weird thing. You have to experience it to understand the hype. We had one in Finland 22. of July 1990. It's really hard to describe. It's day at first and then suddenly night. One second the birds are singing and you have all the sounds then darkness comes and everything stops. Total silence. It's really scary. I think everyone should experience it once in their lifetime. It's a perfectly good reason to travel across the globe.
Kai Marcad I would love to see it once as well but I think there's other phenomenons that intrigue me even more. I'm much more happy to have seen an aurora borealis (you as a finn will understand) at least once in my life.
Saw my first total solar eclipse with the family a few days ago on April 8th in Cleveland. Thank you for making this video. This one helped convince me to see it more than most.
My family drove to Idaho for this and wound up stopping at a gas station so we could watch it and it was the best thing I've ever done. Everyone was everybody else's friend, even if they were complete strangers. Absolutely magical event.
I'm so glad everyone reacted like this! I saw a full eclipse in Austria back in 1999. I couldn't stop shouting "This is unbelievable!" until someone told me to shut up. Then I was pretty embarrassed that I had lost my cool over something I knew was going to happen.
Mr Penguin, thanks for rubbing it in. I don't know if you've ever seen one, but the experience can be a little more overwhelming than you'd expect (as you should be able to tell from this video). Unless you travel after them, you aren't likely to see a full eclipse even once in your life. I live in Germany and there won't be another one here for another 64 years. I'll be 104.
Everyone looses it, the first time they see one. And if people are commenting here who haven't seen one, you have no f ... ing idea what your mind goes through. And I guarantee, if you get to see one, you too will be screaming your head off, freaking out in silence, or just plain dumbfounded by what you see. To experience one, is beyond belief.
moismyname Yes!! We were all in awe!! We could hear the neighbors yelling out in amazement haha. It was definitely more overwhelming than I expected. I almost got choked up
A "half-one" isn't anything. The difference between 99.99999% totality and 100% is literally day and night. No comparison. I saw the totality in Casper Wyoming and I can't even describe how emotional it felt. The people where I was reacted the same exact way. It was truly incredible.
I know.. american about to touch revolution just because of a racist police officer, coronavirus giant outbreak, Kobe's death, Ukrainian wood burning that can make the Chernobyl nuclear central, United Kingdom leaves Europe and much others tragical things..
I cannot thank you enough for creating this video. I got to witness it directly in the center of totality, and it made me feel like the most insignificant speck of infinitely small matter, but also equally special for witnessing such a special moment.
On one hand this is really humbling and gives you a sense of how small we are, but on the other it's amazing that we are so lucky to have a moon at the perfect distance and size to appear the same size as the star in the sky with it 93 million miles away.
I imagine if it was designed it would always be that way, unfortunately the moon will eventually drift too far away from the Earth so that all solar eclipses are partial. Granted, the moon moves away at 3.8cm every year so that will take about 600 million years, quite a long time to us people, however the earth is 4,500 million years old, so not very long compared to that. Similarly, there was a time where the moon was much larger than the sun in the sky.
Ted R. If it was designed that way then why is the moon moving further away, so that one day it not cover the entire sun, and I suppose god doesnt plan a human extinction before that
They let us out of the office in VA to watch this. I was blown away with how ominous it felt as cold started to rise everywhere and darkness grew. I can only imagine how much this used to scare people thousands and thousands of years ago. This must’ve been apocalyptic.
I just saw the one today (April 8th 2024)... one of the best experiences in my life, it is so epic and powerful and emotional and at the same time so silly! :D amazing
Has to be one of the most beautiful things one could ever see. No words to describe it. Nature is wonderful. All you can do is to stand back in awe and enjoy it. Truly amazing. Thanks for uploading this. We had one here in the UK in August 1999. It was 98% where we lived in Sussex, but it was still incredible. Where it was 100%, in Cornwall, it was raining and overcast! Typical, so you all did really well out there.
I’m glad to see you folks had the same reaction. We traveled from Arizona to Nashville to experience it. Was surrounded by a large group like this, it somehow enhanced the moment. It is the number one event of my life. Surreal. Profound. Unreal. Unique. The oddest most amazing thing I have ever seen. Living in Dallas now and can’t wait for the April eclipse.
Totally agree. The crowd reaction is a big part of the experience. :) I saw 2017's just outside Madras, in a crowd of probably 20,000 people. The combined screams and cheers and "Oh My God!"s the second totality struck was something I'll never forget. Hope you got to see the 2024 eclipse. I went to Del Rio for that one and was nearly clouded out -- had a peek of the corona for about 10 seconds. It was fascinating to see the difference between a totality in a clear sky and a nearly overcast sky. It felt much more like the mother of all storms was sweeping over.
I remember that feeling of both amazement and fear when the total eclipse happened. I can remember the exact moment clearly four years later, and that is a moment I will never forget for the rest of my life.
Knowing the facts about the eclipse does not lessen the effect. For me, I was pretty calm until suddenly it went dark. I don't know how to describe how it felt.
Imagine not knowing this was happening, and being in your home and suddenly the sun just set super quickly. It would be like 'WTF HAS HAPPENED TO THE SUN??'
Well my baby cousins didn't know it was going to happen. The 6 month old didn't react and the 2 year old put a blanket on. All in all I don't think they were impressed
imagine living in the old days of old philosophers when they thought the sun was only from god. they would've literally thought it was the reckoning...
My town is on the list for one of the best places to watch the eclipse next week. We are expecting up to 50k people in our small town and are afraid it’ll shut us down. Did your town have any problems?
People commenting "why are they clapping and getting so excited" are people who have not witnessed a total solar eclipse. If you'd seen one, you'd understand.
Agreed! I knew what to expect but didn't think I'd get as excited as I did when totality occurred. I was blown away! Easily the most beautiful sight I've ever seen. :) 98-99% is nothing like totality.
We drove 5 hours to see this phenomenon and it was worth it. It has to be experienced directly. No video or photograph will ever capture the full effect. Those who have never seen it will never know what they’re missing. I was one of them until April 8, 2024.
The moon is way, way smaller than the Sun, but it lines up to completely cover the Sun's disk. It's not a little bigger or a little smaller, it's about the same size.
otocan, i dont think you know what the word means NOT a Scientist, it's not about being excited or happy. It's a beautiful and rare event, but clapping for no reason, _explaining_ what happens and then even spouting "what is this", is incredibly pretentious, yes!
So you're in the "make sure I think about every action I do 10 times to make sure it's the right thing to do and not 'pretentious' or 'cringy'", that certainly has it's place sometimes but usually is the no1 way to become pretentious yourself while going through day to day life annoyed at everyone else. In events like this, I'd rather connect with people, and react how I wanna react, with no thoughts, no filters, just reacting with my emotions, instead of fake emotions carefully crafted not to look 'pretentious' and be the coolest ever
I think people get so excited and kind of freaked out because it really reminds people that what's out there (planets, stars etc.) have an impact on us and we are not just isolated and unbothered from space, here on earth. This is then a really extreme example of that and why we act accordingly. Btw amazing video! Love how you captures it all! Absolutely stunning!
Katone Vi yea, sure, the watchmaker did it? There are other solar systems out there, ask them, it would be a thing too, if the moon was smaller, or bigger, it is simply the fact of beeing in line, it is you, making a "coincidence?" out of it, cuz you wish it would be, to make you special.
Katone Vi the moon is tidal locked. Its not a coincidence, it just happens. The sun rotates in about 24 days, so only seeing one face of the sun isnt even a thing
This is how the solar eclipse happens. Sun: *about to touch Earth* Moon: *DONT TOUCH THE CHILD* *sun and moon arguing in front of Earth* Edit: no no no- This comment is so stupid and cringey XD who would like it in the first place-
This video convinced me to go see this with my kid in 2024 who was 18 months at the time he's now 8 and was amazed as I was today in Mont Mégantic with 2500 people who experience a perfect weather dead center full solar eclipse.
Couldn't ask anything better!
Thanks Derek
Jai vu ca depuis saint- georges. Littéralement la plus belle chose que jai vu de ma vie.
In ancient times the Chinese used to believe a dragon was swallowing the sun!
For those who don't know, Mont Megantic is in Quebec, Canada.

I was in Salem, OR. Can confirm, I'm now a solar eclipse chaser for life.
Guys, if you are anywhere close to the next one happening in 2024 across the US... GO TO IT. It is an amazing event. I won't forget this last one until I die. It is an indescribable event and YOU HAVE TO BE THERE. The videos and the pictures do not do it justice. Trust me. Trust people who have seen it. It is well-worth your time.
I saw it in person. A lot of videos fail to capture how it really looked. This is the closest to how I remember it. Also, the temp dropped and cicadas started making noise.
The rapid temperature drop was startling. I wonder if it will effect the San Andreas fault line in 6 years with the next Solar eclipse..
The dewpoint was high in Carbondale, IL. It was very hot and humid, around 95 degrees with a heat index around 110. During the eclipse, the temperature dropped to about 81, and the heat index went down as well, making it very pleasant outside. I imagine there was more of a dramatic temperature drop out west were the air was drier.
@darkdezire could you say more about how this video captured what you saw? was it the sun with the donut hole? or the spliced in images that looked like NASA images? The sun with donut hole surprised me. I thought more of the sun would be covered in totality.
@@NYTruthseeker well, the sun is blocked by the moon, yes, but not totally. that's why in the filtered video, you can see the glorious ring when the sun reaches totality. light is still coming out from the sun to earth, and since the light is coming from multiple directions, you will see the sun as a donut with your naked eye.
It looks like someone is eating it
I still get chill bumps when I recall the 2017 eclipse. As great as this video is, no video can come remotely close to recreating the experience of actually witnessing a total eclipse in person.
"chillbumps"
I envy. I'm flying to Arkansas Sunday. I've been checking the forecast for a WEEK and it's been storms storms storms. Today it's saying partly sunny. I am BEGGING the universe. I've known this was coming for fifteen years. I was unable to travel in 2017 but witnessed 83% which was cool. But this is what I'm after.
theres one coming to niagra, i gotta go there but its so farrr
I'm so excited I feel like I'm probably gonna cry when I see it lol
I am so excited for tomorrow. My house is right in the path of totality. I have never seen one before.
Imagine humans thousands of years ago freaking out because the sun was black
I feel especially bad for the egyptians who thought a giant ass snake was eating the sun.
I’m feeling bad for the people that lived 10000 years ago that accidentally looked at it with bear naked eye
Praise the moon not sun
In many parts of the world such as Africa, they still do. And sure in the days of old beyond old we in the Western World would have reacted the same.

There was an annular solar eclipse that happened in America on June 22, 1694 and a Hybrid Solar eclipse that also happened in America on July 12, 1684. So maybe these eclipses can give you your answer.

I still remember the solar eclipse in Germany 1999. It was so surreal. There was a sudden chill, birds went silent and then... wow.
That eclipse was also awesome, I saw it in Bucharest.

I could actually feel the emotions that he was feeling during the filming of this. I remember being in awe of just 75% totality but to be able to see complete totality would have been so surreal. This actually gave me goosebumps.

I was even more amazed by the end and the glowing bright spark. It's was like the sun is going to explode and a very strong feeling of rebirth.
Imagine people thousands of years ago who saw the sun go away and not know when it would come back...
luke sumberg pretty sure humans back then had and knew when an object's presence is there behind an object unlike babies and some animals ect ..
luke sumberg that's why there are so many stories about dragons or great frogs eating the sun, and superstitions that people should clap and scream and bang pots and pans to scare the dragon away.
they thought the earth in the middle soo
Juan Caballero Actually, not really. A lot of mythologies tell about eclipses, and claimed that something was eating the sun, and the only way to make it leave the sun alone is to make a lot of noise
luke sumberg Thousands of years ago *most* people/civilizations paid more atention to astronomy than we do today (besides nasa and similar). Their nights were darker so when they looked up at the sky they could see things we cant see now. Im sure they were fine.
We drove 12 hours to Madras, OR from California to see this. It was the most incredible thing I have ever seen in my life. Amazing.
I’m glad I got to see it this year, I knew it was gonna be cool looking but I was taken surprise by it’s sheer beauty

I live in Canada, but I'm obsessed with space, and it's been like the number one thing on my bucket list to see a solar eclipse so my dad and I took a road trip all the way down to Tennessee. I can't even explain how incredible it was, I remember specifically at the moment it happened, the entire crowd I was with began to cheer and whoop, just like in the video. it was amazing, definitely one of the best moments of my life, and I think that everyone should be able to see an eclipse irl in their lifetime
Seeing one in real life is my dream. I love space and everything to do with it. Sadly, my sister doesn't agree. I showed her this video, and she just looked, somehow, unimpressed. Just imagine, being unimpressed by a total solar eclipse!

Being in such a massive crowd takes away one another impressive part of the eclipse: the sound of silence.
In 1999, my dad and I were in France. Noticing the clouds were ruining our experience,we jumped in the car and had a wild ride along small countryside roads to a location where the sun was still shining. Minutes before the total eclipse, we stopped the car in the middle of nowhere and jumped out of it.
Those last minutes were unforgettable. As if nature surrendered for this phenomenon, all crickets, birds, dogs and other creatures - including the both us - became absolutely silent. That overwhelming sound of silence with the beauty of the eclipse and within the company of my dad is still one of the most precious memories in my mind.
Yea these people are insufferable
@Erwin, what an absolutely beautiful and special memory. Wow… thank you so much for sharing this. ❤️
That’s awesome you got to see it like that, but it’s become such a popular event that it’s hard to find anywhere (that’s not private land) that you can view it on with no one around
I watched the 2017 eclipse on the side of the road in SC. Everything went silent in nature, it got cooler a few degrees but then the birds started singing loud and the crickets started chirping and a cool wind started blowing. It was interesting to see the changes in nature as the eclipse was happening

Magda Medha What you are actually observing during a total solar eclipse is the unlit side of the moon.

Just saw it in South Carolina on Lake Murray South Carolina. Words and video do not do its justice to how beautiful the eclipse really was. When the sun reappeared, it was the purest white light i have ever seen in my life. If you were not in the path of totality, I highly recommend you wait for the one in 2024.

The next two total solar eclipses will give you very little chance to see totality, as will the 3rd one unless you think millions of people will decide to travel to Antarctica. The 4th, 2024 one, will cross the most land than the last 3, giving millions the chance to witness it. We're talking about totality, not just any eclipse.
I don't get why people are so butthurt about a country being excited for something that hasn't happened in nearly 100 years. The next one on 2024 will probably be viewed by more than the next 3 combined, if we're all still here. :3
America can be a shitty place, with shitty people, ruled by shitty "leaders", but don't generalize.
I saw it in the NC mountains. There is no equal to being in Totality and experiencing the moon fitting perfectly over the sun for a few minutes. No video or photo capture that event, and if you can, make the next available event. Since the earth is 7/8 water, mostly the eclipse path is not on land, but this one traveled the US from West to South. It was an awesome beyond words.
Missed totality in 2017 but traveled to the middle of the path for 2024. Seeing totality was the coolest thing I've ever seen, hands down. No video or photo does it justice. Planning on traveling to Spain in 2026 to see the next one.
The thing that really makes me love this video is hearing all those people getting so happy and so excited

Was between Idaho City and Lowman with my Nephew on top a mountain, the switch back below the mountain we were on, a group of people had parked to watch it broke the absolute silence playing some music and you could hear them whooping about 30 seconds into totality... just before it and as it started there was an eerie dead silence. Some annoying grouse and/or pheasants were making some funny noises moments before as well as some cute chipmunks. Then absolute silence and rapid coolness and breezes.

What's your problem, bro? I can't fathom how you don't see what's so special about a total solar eclipse.
Total solar eclipse is really weird thing. You have to experience it to understand the hype. We had one in Finland 22. of July 1990. It's really hard to describe. It's day at first and then suddenly night. One second the birds are singing and you have all the sounds then darkness comes and everything stops. Total silence. It's really scary. I think everyone should experience it once in their lifetime. It's a perfectly good reason to travel across the globe.
Kai Marcad I would love to see it once as well but I think there's other phenomenons that intrigue me even more. I'm much more happy to have seen an aurora borealis (you as a finn will understand) at least once in my life.

My family drove to Idaho for this and wound up stopping at a gas station so we could watch it and it was the best thing I've ever done. Everyone was everybody else's friend, even if they were complete strangers. Absolutely magical event.
I'm so glad everyone reacted like this! I saw a full eclipse in Austria back in 1999. I couldn't stop shouting "This is unbelievable!" until someone told me to shut up. Then I was pretty embarrassed that I had lost my cool over something I knew was going to happen.
Mr Penguin, thanks for rubbing it in. I don't know if you've ever seen one, but the experience can be a little more overwhelming than you'd expect (as you should be able to tell from this video).
Unless you travel after them, you aren't likely to see a full eclipse even once in your life. I live in Germany and there won't be another one here for another 64 years. I'll be 104.
Everyone looses it, the first time they see one. And if people are commenting here who haven't seen one, you have no f ... ing idea what your mind goes through. And I guarantee, if you get to see one, you too will be screaming your head off, freaking out in silence, or just plain dumbfounded by what you see. To experience one, is beyond belief.
moismyname Yes!! We were all in awe!! We could hear the neighbors yelling out in amazement haha. It was definitely more overwhelming than I expected. I almost got choked up
A "half-one" isn't anything. The difference between 99.99999% totality and 100% is literally day and night. No comparison. I saw the totality in Casper Wyoming and I can't even describe how emotional it felt. The people where I was reacted the same exact way. It was truly incredible.

Turtoise g
@Felix Stotts I was speaking of the plasma layer. And it is, in fact, bigger than the moon.
I cannot thank you enough for creating this video. I got to witness it directly in the center of totality, and it made me feel like the most insignificant speck of infinitely small matter, but also equally special for witnessing such a special moment.
On one hand this is really humbling and gives you a sense of how small we are, but on the other it's amazing that we are so lucky to have a moon at the perfect distance and size to appear the same size as the star in the sky with it 93 million miles away.
Abie U K Kinda like it was designed that way, huh.
Or cause they are the same size
Abie U K *150 Million Kilometers. Stop using miles
I imagine if it was designed it would always be that way, unfortunately the moon will eventually drift too far away from the Earth so that all solar eclipses are partial. Granted, the moon moves away at 3.8cm every year so that will take about 600 million years, quite a long time to us people, however the earth is 4,500 million years old, so not very long compared to that. Similarly, there was a time where the moon was much larger than the sun in the sky.
Ted R. If it was designed that way then why is the moon moving further away, so that one day it not cover the entire sun, and I suppose god doesnt plan a human extinction before that

Has to be one of the most beautiful things one could ever see. No words to describe it. Nature is wonderful. All you can do is to stand back in awe and enjoy it. Truly amazing. Thanks for uploading this. We had one here in the UK in August 1999. It was 98% where we lived in Sussex, but it was still incredible. Where it was 100%, in Cornwall, it was raining and overcast! Typical, so you all did really well out there.
I’m glad to see you folks had the same reaction. We traveled from Arizona to Nashville to experience it. Was surrounded by a large group like this, it somehow enhanced the moment. It is the number one event of my life. Surreal. Profound. Unreal. Unique. The oddest most amazing thing I have ever seen. Living in Dallas now and can’t wait for the April eclipse.
Totally agree. The crowd reaction is a big part of the experience. :) I saw 2017's just outside Madras, in a crowd of probably 20,000 people. The combined screams and cheers and "Oh My God!"s the second totality struck was something I'll never forget.
Hope you got to see the 2024 eclipse. I went to Del Rio for that one and was nearly clouded out -- had a peek of the corona for about 10 seconds. It was fascinating to see the difference between a totality in a clear sky and a nearly overcast sky. It felt much more like the mother of all storms was sweeping over.
I remember that feeling of both amazement and fear when the total eclipse happened. I can remember the exact moment clearly four years later, and that is a moment I will never forget for the rest of my life.
Knowing the facts about the eclipse does not lessen the effect. For me, I was pretty calm until suddenly it went dark. I don't know how to describe how it felt.
Joel Dowdell Knowing the facts should make totality even more awe inspiring. Just saying. Balls flying though space is pretty awesome.
It is spooky when things don't work the way they always do. Like when you turn the key, but the car does not start. Feels... odd, unreal somehow.

Agreed! I knew what to expect but didn't think I'd get as excited as I did when totality occurred. I was blown away! Easily the most beautiful sight I've ever seen. :) 98-99% is nothing like totality.
Alice ohhhh shut up
Ive never seen one before....i really really want to see one
I really hope you get to see one sometime. It's one of the most amazing things you will ever see and absolutely worth traveling for. :)
We drove 5 hours to see this phenomenon and it was worth it. It has to be experienced directly. No video or photograph will ever capture the full effect. Those who have never seen it will never know what they’re missing. I was one of them until April 8, 2024.
Neat video, Derek! I could only imagine how wonderful of an experience it was!
Hypernauta The video doesn't do the justice at all.

This was one of the coolest sights of my life. Being in the path of totality is something I likely won't ever experience again. It was amazing!
If you will be in the usa 2024 you can see another total solar eclipse. Less than 2 years!
My city is in the path of this eclipse and the 2024 one
@@randleman3449 Mine is not but I will be going out to see it
Moon: Is at some random spot in space
Humas on earth: Cheering
The moon is way, way smaller than the Sun, but it lines up to completely cover the Sun's disk. It's not a little bigger or a little smaller, it's about the same size.
@@autobotftwww it's amazing
Haha literally. It's exciting
Exactly 😂😂😂
Lol
What an incredible experience. I saw the 2024 eclipse and your video helped inspire me to film the eclipse.
This video is wonderful everyone is so happy and excited!!
and pretentious
fetB LOL RIP.
I don't think you know what that word means.
otocan, i dont think you know what the word means
NOT a Scientist, it's not about being excited or happy. It's a beautiful and rare event, but clapping for no reason, _explaining_ what happens and then even spouting "what is this", is incredibly pretentious, yes!
So you're in the "make sure I think about every action I do 10 times to make sure it's the right thing to do and not 'pretentious' or 'cringy'", that certainly has it's place sometimes but usually is the no1 way to become pretentious yourself while going through day to day life annoyed at everyone else. In events like this, I'd rather connect with people, and react how I wanna react, with no thoughts, no filters, just reacting with my emotions, instead of fake emotions carefully crafted not to look 'pretentious' and be the coolest ever
The sheer joy and excitement of all the people there is overwhelming. Such a beautiful phenomena.
Your excitement is contagious.
I was in Grand Island Nebraska that day! Absolutely beautiful
I think people get so excited and kind of freaked out because it really reminds people that what's out there (planets, stars etc.) have an impact on us and we are not just isolated and unbothered from space, here on earth. This is then a really extreme example of that and why we act accordingly. Btw amazing video! Love how you captures it all! Absolutely stunning!
but...... nighttime...... im just saying.
Katone Vi yea, sure, the watchmaker did it?
There are other solar systems out there, ask them, it would be a thing too, if the moon was smaller, or bigger, it is simply the fact of beeing in line, it is you, making a "coincidence?" out of it, cuz you wish it would be, to make you special.
Katone Vi the moon is tidal locked. Its not a coincidence, it just happens. The sun rotates in about 24 days, so only seeing one face of the sun isnt even a thing

This is how the solar eclipse happens.
Sun: *about to touch Earth*
Moon: *DONT TOUCH THE CHILD*
*sun and moon arguing in front of Earth*
Edit: no no no-
This comment is so stupid and cringey XD who would like it in the first place-
ehm, but the moon was a part of earth until a mars like planet crashed into earth, making the moon. So the moon is the child:)
