Yeah, oops! I got so busy with the main channel for a while that I didn't really have time for this one. The main channel pays the bills, so I have to focus on it more when there's a problem.
Its an awesome experience. I look forward to it comming to southern Spain in a few years. I saw it for the first time in Hungary in 1999. Definitely worth traveling a bit for.
I was in Franklin, IN just south of Indy. Gorgeous clear skies and 4 mins of totality. Did you notice the nodule of light on the SW corner of the Sun? That was a big solar flare. Probably big enough for the Earth to fit inside the loop.
You were super near me then. I didn't have to travel thankfully. I didn't expect to feel the way I did about the eclipse since I know how it all works, but the sense of awe and wonder was incredible. So glad I got to experience it.
Right?! I went in thinking "Whatever. This is going to be boring. It's just a thing moving in front of another thing." But then I experienced it. I understand now why it used to freak people out before they understood what it was.
Driving though the village of Woodville on US23 on my way toward Fremont, OH, I noticed a little park along the edge of Portage River about three blocks off the main route on my navigation map. Lucked out with perfect place and 20 minutes before totality. While the shadows were sharp-edged and just as the birds began quickly flittering away to wherever they go, I noticed a dark cloud approaching and I may have uttered an obscenity... then realised it was the moon's shadow and not a bloody-damn cloud. More spectacular than the corona, those pink-red solar flares poking out from around the black dot were amazing. The mid-afternoon viewing of Venus and Jupiter was really cool. After almost four minutes of totality, the brilliance of that initial spark of sunlight made it clear to me that no partial can be at all relatable to the experience of a total solar eclipse.
anyone remember the name of the book Nick said in one of the videos about physics unsolved things, like a not so scientific book. Maybe one of his friends has written it. Blue cover with graphics all inside the book also.
Great video, now many who didn't get to experience it can see what it was like. We had about a minute and a half in our area and it didn't get as dark as in your area.🌝🌚🌝
Yeah, I was originally going to cut this up into a story, but decided against it. I thought seeing it in real time would be a better experience (even if it won't perform as well).

A rare astonomical phenomenon but you rightfully ket the camera on your wife to see her reaction - that's true love! 😀
Nick Lucid, What a background music! What a Fantastic idea?🎉
It was phenomenal getting to see totality. Best thing I've ever experienced.
Did you get cold. I did in 2017
@@GrantWaller.-hf6jn indeed.
It got so cold!!
Great transition with the corona!
Nice to see you use this channel

Amazing footage
Thanks! It was eerie.
Total darkness (smtimes) is a kind of a paradise for me.
Thanks for sharing the video!

Yeah! You could see it with the naked eye. I never thought I'd be able to see one with my eyes.
A day and night in just 10min😂

I saw it, too! It was the most amazing beautiful thing I've ever seen.
It was so cool!
Amazing experience, I was lucky to experience 2 of them in Argentina in 2019 and 2020 and was insane!! .... Worthy of driving 1000km and more 🖤
I’m happy you two got to see it! Reminds me of when I saw the 2017 eclipse near my city. ❤
I won't get one near my city until 2099, unfortunately.

Yeah, a friend of mine got a picture of the shadow approaching in the sky on the clouds. It's wild.
Totality awesome
😆 I see what you did there.
We drove down to Milan, OH with family for our viewing location (we are also from the metro-Detroit area). I was amazing!
Yeah, I had a local friend who went to Vermont with his family to see it. Lots of traveling.

I am glad you got see it. It was cloudy here in MN.
That sucks hoped you enjoyed anyway
Bummer! Yeah, I'm super relieved the weather cleared up for it in Ohio.
@@NickLucid Bright side is all the videos all of you took. :)
Quite amazing.
Welcome to the club I was at the 2017 event
Thanks! In 2017, the path was too far away and we could take that many days off of work. (I wasn't a full-time RUclipsr yet.)

@@NickLucid you did the right thing 👍
Hope you didn't get stuck in the traffic getting down
Oh the traffic that is why I stayed home this time. Took 4 hours to cross the Ohio River in Kentucky.
Oh, we did. Traffic was _nasty._ We had to take side roads almost the whole way there.
@@NickLucid if I haven't seen the one 7 years ago in Nashville I would have done the same, but if you're a totality virgin it is definitely worth it
What reaction would,ve given by prehistoric humans at such an event?
Probably terror.
Don't know why, but a clip from the SpongeBob movie entered into my mind.
Which one
