What it’s like to watch a Total Solar Eclipse

- The total solar eclipse from Madras, Oregon on August 21, 2017. As the moon passed in front of the sun turning day to night and revealing the sun's corona, apparently all I could think to say was 'Oh my goodness!'
This awe-inspiring phenomenon returned to the US on April 8, 2024, when total solar eclipse crossed North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada.

Everyone says not to photograph your first solar eclipse and I think they might be right. I was focused on getting the exposure right for Bailey's beads and the diamond ring, plus making sure to get the corona and solar flares. This was a bit stressful but I'm delighted with the results.
This video originally included more info but since I'm uploading from Madras where the internet is sluggish, I cut out three minutes so the upload would happen before I had to leave for my flight.
Special thanks also to Dr. Teagan Wall for sharing this experience with me and Raquel Nuno for inspiring me to come to Oregon.

everybody gangsta till the moon don't start moving again
Lmaooooo
Anybody else miss the solar eclipse this year
Kermit Galaxy I missed it this year bc clouds :(
What do you mean?
Comment section guy im sure everybody in the world would know if there way another one 😭😭🤚🏻
2019: "omy god it's so beautiful"
Ancient time: "Sacrifice we need a sacrifice to bring the sun back!!!!!"
Get emmmm
Wondering Merchant also them: DID OUR SUN DIE
Its so sad, but its so true
Bob Brock .....what is wrong with u.........
I don't remember having a solar ellipse in 2019 lol
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.
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.
This just shows how vital the Sun is to nature in general
I passed through southern Illinois on my way to Poplar Bluff. It was really cool to see an eclipse again.
moon: jeez, those humans are so easy to impress.
well seeing the eclipse is very exciting and beautiful
@@_Ash0099 So is watching peppa pig 😂😂
Copied comment
xXSamuel NinjaBoyXx oh yea definitely 😂
Lol
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.
@@Austin-zg6gt Aztecs just start to masive kill in sacrifise to their war god that was the sun god too just imagine
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.
Same! honestly a true experience! couldnt stop smiling of how beautiful it was, sunsets in all directions.
Yes! Pictures and video don’t do it justice.
@@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.
Yes, you have to be there. A total solar eclipse is amazing.
Getting ready for the 2024 one… who else came here to do the same??? 😮😮
Yep
Me ! Me !
Me!
Lets goooo
Looking for a video to show my class… wish he was wearing glasses
Who else is jealous that they didn't get to see it?
RV I am
J LA
The
RV i went it was amazing
I am because I was right on the line of totality but it was cloudy!!
RV I saw it. My school also provided the glasses HA!
You cannot fully appreciate an eclipse unless you have seen it in person...
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
True - and incidentally the same goes for a van Gogh.
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 CZcams 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 CZcams.
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.
Just saw one today in Northern Ohio, and it was even better in person than i expected. Really one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.
Yes!! Truly incredible! I can’t find any photos or videos that really capture how the corona looked to my eye
@@notnotjake The photos and videos simply don’t compare with being there.
@@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 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.
3:25 Someone in the background, "I love Corona"
Earth: "Corona time it is then."
What is so shocking about them saying "Corona"
Well actually isn’t corona the gas layer around the sun and a type of beer
Usama Zaheer That was kinda funny
@Usama Zaheer HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT CORONA TIME BEING NOW!!!!!!!!!!!
V8 Juice is Disgusting because the video was 2 years ago, covid didn’t exist 2 years ago did it hm?

Yep
I live in Stowe, VT. Many will be coming to us to see. I can’t wait!
I’m ready to see this April 8th lmao
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.
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.
You only get to know what it feels when you are there
This is the most interesting thing I've ever seen
Who is the most beautiful and attractive thing
We just say SubhanAllah alkhalc❤️
@@abassaf6707 who asked?
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 am crying for you 😭😭😭
Moon: is everyone having fun at the solar eclipse? Crowd: YEAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WEEEEE
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
Haha me too, we’re going in April just have to hope weather cooperates!
Me too and where I live it’s the longest totality in IN

Because that's what it is, that's not the moon
IM WATCHING EPISODE 10 RN-
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.
I was there in VT today... first time seeing it in person. I burst into tears.
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
Quickly, Attack the fire benders!!!!!
Alec Lumba this is without a doubt the greatest comment i have ever laid my eyes upon.😄😄😄
lol
Alec Lumba I love you for this comment 😂😂😂
first thing I thought when I saw that an eclipse was happening
too bad water benders kicked ur ass coz of the eclipse :^)
imagine this in 1600's America
"goddamnit, I knew mary was a witch"
Heads flying xD
Y e s
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.
@@KermisVoyager1997 I didn’t know eclipses were that old
@@Killer_Doll415 What? Eclipses have happened since the moon formed
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
Same
It is such a hard thing to describe when it starts to get dark but not like a sunset dark like a dimming dark it’s so weird but cool at the same 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
2:26 The sun has 1% battery
2:37 The sun is decharged
4:20 They found the charger
Recharge sun: SUPERNOVA TIME
This is a joke
They found the charger at 4:20 huh?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
It took them like 2 minutes to find the charger
@@Roberty_64 Then that means the sun has a big house... ._.
Ye
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
Who’s here for the April 8th total solar eclipse in 2024?

The most beautiful recording of a total solar eclipse I've watched, ever!
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
Same here, but I’m also sad knowing I’ll probably never see one again
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 agree, it was awe- inspiring! I’m glad we were able to have one last blast of fun before everything shut down in 2020.

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.
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.
This recording reflects what is happening quite well. Thanks. It's fun to see again! :)
Imagine if these people didn't know the eclipse was going to happen.
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.

I did not know the eclipse was going to happen I was SO mad!!!

I missed out on the 2017 eclipse and was left feeling very jealous. So in 2024 my son and I flew to Quebec to see it for ourselves. Unforgettable and awe inspiring. He is not exaggerating his reaction in this video one bit.
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.
What happens if the balls touch?

No it does'nt. For a lot of reasons, the first one and not least is that we can't take a picture of a black hole in visible light.
Magda Medha What you are actually observing during a total solar eclipse is the unlit side of the moon.
Yesn’t
It was wild to get to see this in person, too. It was total in St. Louis that day, too. I don't remember it lasting as long as on your video, and I remember when the Sun poked back out, it was like a diamond.
I just started getting ready for this year‘s eclipse and my first thought was I wonder if Derek Veritasium has a video?! 😂😂😂 thank you so much from the future for supporting science outreach!
Fun fact: A total solar eclipse only happens when they're changing the batteries in the sun.
That gosh darn gouvernement
It mostly makes earth in the version 11.24.21 go into maintainace
😂
No it only appears if the moon is infront of the sun, forming a shadow.
@@hyperzilla57 r/whoosh
There are 2 kinds of people. One who joins the hype train and enjoys the solar eclipse. The other who complains about how overhyped it is.
I guess I'm not human then
i was busy working, solar eclipses dont pay my bills
Only had partial where I am so wasn't that excited. Seen it before. Never had the chance to see totality Sadly.
+Kenny You need a better boss then.
What about the 3rd type, the flat earthers that say it's a hoax.
Back here after experiencing totality in North Texas in 2024. It was absolutely surreal!
Awsome -- looks like I won't see a total eclipse in my lifetime . . . . sooooo -- this was really great! And short and sweet, too -- THANKS!
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
For me its the total solar eclipse and northern lights (I am in Canada lol)
(2017)
@@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.
For me the total solar eclipse won't happen for at least 200 years😅
I wonder how many people got blinded in historic times from watching eclipses without protection?
probably few, you can't really see the moon over the sun clearly until very close to totality
Aymen maf you can't tell the moon is in front of the sun until it's very close to totality, the glare of the sun makes it very difficult if not impossible.
But you still have almost 6 minutes of sudden darkness to figure it out.
I tried to look at it for about a millisecond and couldn't look at any longer than that so probably not as many as you may think, it hurts too much !
Fuzzy Bombbomb but it isn't supposed to hurt
I experienced one in Ghana about 17years ago, and I can’t wait to observe another in Indianapolis on April 8.. Two in a lifetime and counting 🥳
Unbelievably lucky!
I was stationed at Fort Bragg in NC during this 2017 solar eclipse so I didn’t get to experience totality.
I live 2 hours outside the totality path in NY for this one and already have a hotel room and trip planned!
I saw the 2017 one in north Georgia and we are travelling to Arkansas next weekend for this one. I think I might be turning in to an umbraphile!
I live in Minneapolis and can’t wait till April 8, 2024. I missed the 2017 eclipse but I can’t wait till this one. I just found out there will be a total solar eclipse in Minneapolis in 2099 and in 2106. It’s similar to Carbondale, Indiana where they get treated to two eclipses in a 7 year span. Just wish I could live to see both in Minneapolis. I was born a hundred years too early.
Are you still around?
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.
Im obsessed with space to
Driving to Indianapolis from Chicago for the 2024 one!
If you're obsessed, you already know about the 2024 eclipse that should be closer to home.
@amogus i live in canada
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.
That's annoying. Can't they just watch in silence?
Mario M You must not have seen it.

I was fortunate enough to go to Wyoming to see the Solar Eclipse back in 2017. One of the most surreal experiences of my entire life….
We camped and the campground was beautiful. We hiked to the top of the plateau and below was a valley and river, with wild life. In a moment, the skies turned purple all around me, the birds became silent as I saw one soar through valley. And everything around me was so still and just beautiful…
It’s like everyone and everything, including nature, the water, the wildlife, trees and the ground took the time to stand amazed at the event. It was truly such an emotional experience
Being recommend this 3 days to the next eclipse is hilarious
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.
Mr Penguin *stop being a cancer cell*
How you felt is exactly how I felt! It was indescribable.
JoeNasr123 Why did you feel like that? All you saw was the moon line up with the sun. That's it.
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

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.
I was in 6th grade when this happened. I'll never forget watching the eclipse with my dad. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience
