Who on Earth would dislike this beautiful phenomenon.
***** maybe?
Maybe be because it is boring
There's one coming in August 2017
I already know about the August 21, 2017 eclipse but, I am only going to see 60% of it since I live in Southern California
OURS IS GONNA BE 90%
I was entirely speechless when I witnessed my first total solar eclipse. I mean, it really is insanely profound and almost unreal. I advise anyone who has not witnessed a total solar eclipse to do so. It is a marvel that you will never forget.
Dan
100% agree
When did you watched ?
I remember the total eclipse of 1999; I was 7. The birds were going crazy, they thought it was night, then suddenly it was day again. :D
+AuroraS 92 i got a hell lot of beating for eating food at that time..some freaking superstitions
Ganesh Sivaprasad Hahahaha..yea...apparently it's bad to eat anything cooked. Like, wtf is that supposed to mean. XD
the guy who ate during the eclipse found out.
AuroraS 92 oh my God I was literally having the same conversation with myself about this! 😂😂 In 3rd grade, I remember sitting in class and the sky went pitch-black. I'm thinking 'huh? That's odd it seems a bit early for the sun to be going down...' I brushed it off thinking there was a thunderstorm coming. It was still semi-dark even when school let out! It wasn't until years later I found out there was a solar eclipse that dayyy!!!!! 😩😭 I was livid I missed such a beautiful phenomenon!! lol
first solar eclipse
Am I the only one who finds this so satisfying?
don't know why but this makes me cry
Same here!
Subhannallah
wr1jongin lol😂😂
The sun is dying....
:p
I agree it also makes me a bit emotional 🙂
I LOVE how everyone clap at the universe for its magnificence.
this might be cool and all but its actually pretty scary looking at a black circle in the sky
that is a total solar eclipse :)
Imagine being around 2000 years ago before the cause of solar eclipses were understood.
Sooo.trueee..im really really scared
No Man os the phase of New moon
Yeah it would be scary
I bet ancient Aztecs absolutely flipped shit when they saw a solar eclipse.. Probably started sacrificing like 50 people a minute until the sun came back. -_-
LOL you just made my day.
LOL, no kidding!
apocalypto lololol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
I like how you can see, during a few seconds before it is completely eclipsed, you can see flames at the very edge. Breathtaking.
And they're always there. Always. Same as the corona, it's just that we need special conditions like totality to see the whole Sun.
I saw this on the BBC last weekend and will watch it again tonight. It was a breath of fresh air and the BBC should make more programmes like this.
just saw this now
Absolutely amazing. I saw the eclipse in France in 1999. I consider myself blessed to ever have seen such a wonder.
Does it really get this dark
@@johnsamuels958 i saw the eclipse a couple weeks ago in canada and the way it looks is like, you know how the sky is orange in the summer time like 20 minutes after sunset? its like that dark. like basically no daylight on the ground but the sky is very lit up, its weird.
also before totality it looks like you put a blue light filter on everything
There will be a total solar eclipse through the middle of the United States, August 21, 2017.
We plan to watch it in Wyoming.
If we miss it, no worries. There will be another closer to Denver in 2926.
In the UK: London, Frimley Camberley (In other words the WHOLE of England WILL See it) there will be a Solar Eclipse at 2015 20th March at Approximately 9:45am or if not it will be earlier 7:41am
MaybeKat ^ PARTIAL solar eclipse, maximum 80%+ in the UK. Will be fun! Maximum partial eclipse at 9:30 a.m. GMT.
Robert Gift Yes, it will be fun!
Total solar eclipse where I live. Every hotel is fully booked in march, and several full cruise ships will be here too get a glimpse of it.
Ragnar Gudmundsen The ships no doubt will travel to the center of totality.
I would not travel anywere just for 95% totality. It's either 100% or don't bother.
I remember that day , i was living in Varanasi on those days . I just woke up and gone to my balcony and i realised the solar system . Thats the thing i can never forget till my whole life .
Where are u now ???😊😊
Come again to varanasi .
I loved the shot of the old woman praying, as though she was thanking her god for the beauty of what she saw. So amazing that these celestial workings of space can cause these emotions from all walks of life. I really loved this video :)
Actually, I think she was praying for the benefit of the Sun. In Hinduism, eclipses are a pretty big deal - but not in the most positive light. Eclipses are considered impure/bad phenomena, and there are many reasons to explain this impression, but one that I am familiar with is that the Sun suffers during a solar eclipse, much like the Moon is said to suffer during a lunar eclipse. Much like the legend of the Sun-eating dragon among the ancient Chinese/East Asians, it is a common belief that the Sun god (or the Moon, depending on the eclipse) is being 'captured' to suffer, so to speak, during an eclipse. It goes to show that even demigods like the Sun god and Moon god apply to the rules of dharma, and they will pay for the bad karma they accumulated in this way. That's one of many reasons why temples close during eclipses and people are asked not to enjoy food/drink/entertainment, but instead pray. Of course, it is not the only explanation, but one of many, like I've stressed before.
I don't mean to insult or offend, merely share my two cents based on what I've been taught, raised as a Hindu. I also realize that this comment this from three years ago, but nonetheless there will be people who will still visit this video in the future, so I'll still leave it here for them to read and maybe add something new to their knowledge while they enjoy this video.
emedealer what do you mean by " all walks of life" ??
Just because they are darker skin than you and having a different culture you assume they are Petty , poor human ?
Eunkyung Jung great reply
The phrase "all walks of life" refers to people of all cultures, races, religions and class all over the world. This user meant no harm whatsoever, don't worry. Also, thank you.
Eunkyung Jung thanks so much for sharing this ☺
I remember at that time I was in Varanasi and was in hostel. That was just amazing.... I still remember those days.
14 years later, Today is another Solar eclipse!
This is the most beautiful video of a total solar eclipse that I've seen so far. I saw one in 1998 and the excitement of it is something I'll never forget. Can't wait to see the one coming up this year! I'll catch it in Wyoming.
I imagine the viewing in WY will be superb. Its dry, high and under populated. Cheers! Shame I can't drive from St. Joe, KS toward there if it's too hazy :)
It boggles the mind that in the solar system, Earth is the only place where you can see a total solar eclipse, thanks its moon. Also, at the same time, an intelligent species happened to have evolved at this time so they can acknowledge and appreciate it. What a series of amazing coincidences.
You can see solar eclipse from other planets too, they too have their own moons.
@@immigrationcanada1802 he mean the eclipse that perfectly covered their star. Moon is unreasonably big for a satellite, compared to other celestial known in universe. You can't see this perfect eclipse like this in any celestial object we currently know
@@anonymousstout4759 But our moon isn't the biggest moon in solar system right ? Jupiter and Saturn have bigger moons
@@immigrationcanada1802 biggest relatively to the planet it orbiting. Pluto moon is bigger but the sun is so far away and perfect eclipse like this wouldn't happen there and aslo we didn't include them to the planetary club anymore.
@@anonymousstout4759 Yeah I guess. Perfect eclipse happens on earth only it seems. Sun is so powerful 🥺
Literally brought a tear to my eye. Amazing.
ikr man it's emotional
This footage is SO cool, It looked like nightime! I missed today's eclipse, and I've never even seen it on tv. I hope I get to see one like this someday!
Two days time, I will see my very first solar eclipse.
I'm so excited! I just wish more people my age cared about things like this... :(
pokedragonS8 I'm gonna watch it too. Hope the weather doesn't ruin it.
Anselmo Fernandes I'm starting to get nervous... Fog is in my area.
I hope it clears up in time...
pokedragonS8 fingers crossed
pokedragonS8 me too! so excitedd >_
Wow, u're lucky. I was wondering when I'll see somekind of total eclipse in Indonesia. Never had one in my ages... hope the weather will be great 👍👍👍
I remember first watching this series and absolutely loved it! Observing the wonders and listening to Professor Cox explaining things to a layman like me was fascinating.
I WANT TO WATCH A SOLAR ECLIPSE SO BADLY
August 21, 2017 All of USA
@Jasmine loveyou And I never got to see it :(
@@UlyssesM 2024
@@UlyssesM could you see it? in 2024?
This guy demolished flat earth in a single sentence! 😂😂😂
AND flat everything else lol
They still Say the Earth is Flat and the Moon and the Sun is a payen Actors.
@@mohammadbazzi3072 yeah lol
Tomorrow (Dec 26, 2019)we get to witness annular eclipse in Southern India
Yeah that's why I am searching on RUclips
It can be seen from mumbai too
@@swap__yt in fact it's visible from all over India. But the Band of totality passes through southern India.
I saw in Tamilhindu. Excellent view. I need to wait few year to get same view again.
Today is December 26 2019 somewhat around 9:30AM I saw total solar eclipse 🌑
An eclipse is about to begin tomorrow for me..
Yeah and it is already finished today
@ Madhavi Why......are you getting married?
@@Vicky-fl7pv thats sad
The real beauty of earth , no one can be like it.
We think ourselves Masters of the Universe until the Moon momentarily blocks the Sun, and we remember we are dust.
I got so many chills watching this, it's literally the most epic thing that can happen in this universe, and I mean the literal term of epic.
Any body else realize nobody had them glasses, and their all fine while an up coming eclipse here and we need the glasses
it's a marketing scam...americans love to buy stuff
Maybe because it was morning and hazy
Yeah bro they have not wore the eclipse glasses
They aren’t showing the after effects so yeah
Veruka Hansen you need glasses
0:34 this is how an eclipse looks like 😂😂😂
Bhai bhai! Golden eyes😆😆😂😂
My city was in middle of the totality line during that 2009 total solar eclipse. (which is considered as longest solar eclipse of this century) I was 5 at that time and missed it cause I was sleeping. My elder cousin told me that "it was night in the middle of the day".
I was 13 years old .
i was 3 years old ;-;
Now waiting for tomorrow's (21 June 2020) Solar Eclipse!!
so beautiful i got teary eyed :')
I just witnessed a total solar eclipse in mu country, Indonesia. Thanks I have a special glass to saw it & my friend recorded it with special filter on camera..
This is a nature phenomenom that obly happened 355 years once and my country very bless to witnessed it.
Once in life already saw it, God's pure atrraction, science is so beautiful.
+viinod ajah Please post the video

+Arjun kumar oh specifically " detik detik gerhana matahari total " hope it helps your curiousity sry i cant upload :)
I got it mate . Thanks
Even the animals get freaked out when there is a total eclipse.
Hello Darkness, my old friend.
Eclipse is a kind of power who loudly tells us about our tiny and negligible existence.😫
Magnificent ..!
How can someone dislike this?
I don't know how brilliant mind prof. Brian. But as the host & narrator of this series.. he's done remarkably well.
I was there. It was mesmerizing.
I live in sweden and the next solar eclipse is 110 years away so this is so cool for me in sweden🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🌘🌘
Willi T-Rex vi kommer aldrig uppleva total solförmörkelse
Rip!
A total solar eclipse is so beautiful....
Hope to see it again in India...🥰
I was there, not at the ghat, but in hostel. A memory for life! :)
Holy Cow that's amazing. I have never seen a god damn eclipse in my life. Always somewhere else in the world I don't live.
Buzzing for March 20th! Solar eclipse a day before my 18th birthday!

8/21/2017 brought me here. I have been waiting for this total eclipse for at least nine years. It is upon us, North America!! Hope to see you in Kansas!!
sun eclipse 2019 26th december oh yeah its close
@R T G oh pubg wale agaye
get ready for the eclipse tommorow! it starts at 9:30
it actually peaks at 9.30, it starts at around 7.30-8.30 and ends at 10.40
BagIsFull
What do you exactly mean by it peaks, the moment where the sun is covered the most by the moon?
strikeout1991 When it is fully covering the sun but it is only covering 98% of it not the full 100%
I am in school unfortunatly
8:20 for Ireland!
My eyes started hurting by looking at this video. I hope I still have my sight by Sunday so I can view the eclipse
Imagine seeing that in Varanasi.... WOW!!!!!! A moment that lasts forever within the mind... I LOVE India x x :)
Next solar eclipse in the US is on August 21, 2017
TheEnderbud In just a few months but sadly I am only going to see 60% of it
I straight live in St.louis and I live in north county I just have to go to south st.louis to see it or with the school.
Michael Young my sister from india going to st Louis on 19 she is so lucky
Ancient Irish were first to record an eclipse - 5,355 years ago..They carved images of an ancient onto giant stones over 5,000 years ago, on November 30, 3340 BC to be exact. This is the oldest known recorded solar eclipse in history. The illustrations are found on the Stone Age “Cairn L,” on Carbane West, at Loughcrew, outside Oldcastle, in County Meath. The landscape of rolling hills is littered with Neolithic monuments. Some say that originally there were at least 40 to 50 monuments, but others say the figure was more like 100.
how the hell you prove someone recorded it first? oh yeah sorry your irish...
fallat1sthurdle look it up
I was there at the Varanasi to witness this in 2009. It will forever be etched in my memory always.
It's so eerie when everyone goes silent when the total solar eclipse nears its peak and bursts into cheer and then bursts into cheer when it gets there. :). it certainly is a sight. The first solar eclipse I experienced was back in elementary school, but that is a life age ago for me. It was the one that occurred Oct. 3, 1986. Look it up. I was so little then, but I remember it. :)
anyone here after one happened here in the US? 🤚
Next one is August 21, 2017 and will be visible from North America!
Let's hope California has a total solar eclipse at that time.
California is out of luck.

On my birthday lol
+Kevin Fetter I know we are only going to see 60% of the eclipse. This was going to be the first solar eclipse I will experience. Expecting this 🌑 but it might be this instead 🌒
I remember seeing it when i was in class 5. It was a FULL TOTAL solar eclipse. More impactful than any other eclipse. Truly that day will forever stay in my memory.
The most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
omg 0:24 seconds that dude on the left
mustache >.
lol he looks like Mr.Moneybags from Monopoly!
@@dave5194 😂😂
How did yoy kno..... oh oh yea..
The distance between the sun & the moon in proportion to the distance each of these orbits are from the earth is no mere coincidence. The creator of the universe calculated these distances long before their creation so that when God foresaw the eclipse in advance of either the sun or the moon, both covered each other perfectly with its shadow.
rubbish
It's easy to criticize another person as you have done, so you give me your explanation...then I will tell you what rubbish is.
+John Gemmell it is human nature to put a supernatural explanation for a natural phenomena. It's the reason why cultures worshipped the sun and the moon and why you state that it must be 'god' If you can give me irrefutable evidence that a higher being created the moon and earth then I will change my mind but in my experience the likelihood of this happening is close to zero.
@@hoztravels2024 - I ask you, explain to me how when we measure the temperature of the moonlight, on a full moon night, why is is COOLER then the non-moonlit surfaces? In the Bible, it explains that the moon is for signs and for light. In a "darwin" evolution universe, this would be impossible since the moon light is reflecting the suns light. Also, look into Ron Wyatt and all his discoveries. He discovered the actual Arc of the Covenant, the red sea crossing, the city of Jericho and tons of sulfur still usable/ignitable all over it's remnant buildings, and he found actual Egyptian chariot wheels in the red sea at the crossing point, laced in fine gold. Several people tried to debunk his findings, and they all had no choice but to agree that Ron DID in fact find all he claimed to find. What I'm about to tell you is true, but you won't find in on the news... Ron found Blood on the Mercy seat on the Arc, and had it tested at 3 independent labs, only asking that he would be allowed to be there as the blood he found was tested. The blood was ALIVE still, making the lab technicians ask whose blood they were testing. Ron cried and told them it was the Blood of our Savior. All 3 labs reported the same findings. the Blood was alive, and it had 1 Male chromosome, and 13 Female chromosomes. I promise you my brother, What john states is true and God DID create the Universe, and He created each of us. Please, look into what I post. See for yourself. Jesus is very real, Alive and is soon coming to take His Faithful prior to the start of the Tribulation. Look at this World. Do you know clearly see the evidence of the Bibles Prophecy's coming to pass right now? Wars and Rumors of Wars.... Pestilence, Vocaneos and Earthquakes increasing in frequency and raising quickly in strength. "Global warming" is a lie! This is the evidence of Jesus nearness, and all you have to do to see the truth is ASK. Ask Jesus to prove to you that He IS REAL. What have you got to lose? The proof is everywhere, man has not been able to make a single seed even though we pride ourselves on how our technology is stunning. No, creation IS stunning, and Jesus is now trying to wake up those who are sleeping refusing to see the truth. It took me 45 years to realize this fact. I promise you, I was just like you on this topic, but when my life fell apart, and I lost everything, Jesus came to me and showed me the truth. I have never been the same since, and He often sends me signs to remind me that He is always with me. I promise you brother, I am speaking truth to you. Please, take it upon yourself to research what I shared and see for yourself. God Bless you and your family.
WOOOOOOW that was actually really beautiful
life is amazing and the earth we live in amazing and wonderful freaking awesome!
Amazing.
natural phenomenon is great and those peoples who dislikes it they are fools.
I'm crying. What an amazing scene i've watch. They're sooo lucky. Never had one here, in Indonesia,.. in my ages 😢😢😢
At this very moment I fell in love with Professor Brian Cox & science!
Koi to ha Jo nazam chala rha h
"The alignment is absolutely perfect"
yet it all was an "accident" right?
Smh.
This was the first video I saw Brian Cox as a child.
It is so beautiful it is like a dream till the sun comes back and it won't happen again for a long time.
The awe of the design is beyond words. So what about the awe of the One who designed it and created it.
Daud Khan o rly?
WHAT ABOUT THE OWE OF THE ONE WHO DESIGNED AND CREATED THE CREATOR
TOMORROW IN MY FUCKING COUNTRY
Lucky You!
Chile or Argentina?
Who else is gearing up for the August 21 eclipse this summer? 😀
Amazing
Allah is the greatest
It's in india ram is the best

Can both of you idiots stop saying bullshit and just enjoy this phenomenon?
Allah is actually smallest
@@jimmyhopkins8858 ikr😂😂
The Universe is the Greatest!
It's almost as if God had written His name across the sky yet some people are still blind to it. Glory be to God. Amazing.
Except for this phenomena is explained by science. If it were left to religion this would be attributed to an angry deity or something.
Waleed Higgins god isn't real, he did t do this
Waleed Higgins It's almost as if you have no idea what is actually happening, so by default you say your god did it. We have known for hundreds of years how a solar eclipse works, do try to catch up.
I saw that today and I have never been more impressed.
Science and nature make me tingly... I find it quite magical that before the dawn of mankind, the moon may have been too close from the earth to view total solar eclipses.. and long ahead in our future, we won't be able to see them as well.
coincidence that the moon is the same size as the sun as seen from earth? I think not, it can't be explained so they call it coincidence..
ikr, too perfect, the diameter is exactly the same in our view, and yet their is a huge distance between them.
***** I know that, i'm saying as viewed from Earth, bit too much of a coincidence and the fact that the moon rotates in a way that we only ever see the same side, weird...
***** exactly, very strange.
*****
Thats what he meant captain obvious. If the sun or moon was any bigger or smaller we would not have the view we get from a 100% covered eclipse.
magic can be explained...this can't
Why is this page filled with stuff about God? This is a natural thing that happens in our solar system based on gravity, lunar cycles, etc. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but until someone proves that 'God' created everything, I'm going to stick with the scientific facts proven. You people need to watch more Neil DeGrasse Tyson... and read less of the bible.
I would love to meet you in person and reduce your "scientific" belief system to nothing but burnt ashes, as I systematically dissect every lie Snake-in-deGrasse tells you using Demonstration. But you still wouldn't understand, you'd say, "But, scientists all agree!" You are a waste of a human body as long as you are kept in ignorance by your human masters, such as N. Tyson.
Kim Bushell you shluld see the natural act as a sign of a creator. if we were created by random chance with no order
how does something like this happen with perfect alignment. from random destruction doesn't come perfection.
*+Jacob Coenig* Dude there is no "heaven" or "hell", none of those bullshit afterlife fairy tales are true. And no there isn't any "God" or "Creator" either, jeez this is the 21st century and people still have these old primitive beliefs!? Goddamn close-minded cultist religious nuts. God is a man-made concept to explain things we didn't know and feared, it was basically made out of ignorance before we had science. And the afterlife was invented because people fear the unknown, and we fear dying and want to live forever, therefore it is a "comforting" thought that after you die there is this magical place called "Heaven" where you'll live happily ever after etc.
When you and I die it's probably going to be the same thing as the year 1643 was to you and me, we didn't exist in 1643, so we'll simply cease to exist after we die. We'll no longer be conscience after brain death, what happens when you put someone into a medically induced coma? Or when you go to sleep? It's the same thing except there won't be any more dreams or anything because you're dead. The only thing that's left of us is our decomposing bodies.
Blaze_007 Science and religion work hand in hand. science explains the how but the creator explains why things exist. you say we are narrow minded when spiritual people look at all explanations while atheists look at things with a narrow mind.
how do you *know* there is no after life or that we won't experience something after death? how do you know this?
you're wrong about believing in a creator or after life because you think we fear death so it's something there to comfort us. Even if you believe in god or not the death experience is the same in some ways. what is there to fear once you're dead? really it's you that fears death. we accept death eill come at any time, young or old. the difference between a theist and atheist is we are preparing ourselves. Pascals wager.
what if there is an after life what will you do then?
liverzbbk I fail to see why an atheist should be particularly concerned about an afterlife, if it happens to exist.
I think it is amazing that despite all the discoveries of science and all things that have happened in history we -humankind- still have the ability to stand amaze at the wonders of nature and watch this solar eclipse. This video is great and I wish we could appreciate all other marvelous phenomenon in our universe. Eclipses are just a very small portion of the universe.
I saw this one 1980 in Andhra India. Absolutely fantastic.
it is the God 1 and only true God exists who made this beautiful perfect thing for u the humans so that u understand and thank immediate to God who has created everything here and in heavens so be sure to thank Him first and believe Him always
Teotihuacano how is he a Muslim
Tusher ahamed Oh, you mean Brian? Even as an atheist I would be okay with that if I was forced to worship someone. He's much smarter and a better person that any god I've ever heard of.
this is freaking awesome 😍
“That’s the solar system coming down, grabbing u by the throat”❤️. It equips me with courage to move on
i've watch this since i was a kid and still its awesome!!!!!
this was probably the most beautiful thing i have seen i wish i could have seen it while outside
If you are watching this on 21st June 2020, you are not alone
I'm so fortunate to be right at home for the 8/21/2017 eclipse. We will have 2m14 seconds of totality visible from my front yard, weather permitting. I'm so excited. I can't think of a more awesome thing in all of nature than a solar eclipse.
I am proud to be an citizen of varanasi
Makes me cry every time I see it but I don't know why I get so emotional about it... maybe the music?
Aug. 2017. I'm in the path of totality in Sumter, S.C. Will be my 1st. Everything I've read, it's a life changing experience. has me really looking forward to the event! My luck we'll have a t-storm during it.
The whole thing just makes me feel so small. Just an obscurity in a vast and unknown universe
i cried watching this....beautiful, spectacular.....
