Wow, awesome, thanks for posting! I've never seen an eclipse video like this before...hmm, maybe I've never seen any eclipse videos. ::runs off to find more::
The only solar eclipse I remember experiencing in person (I'm assuming it was a partial) was in grade school. It got darker and a bit cooler for a little while. I wish I had realized the relative rarity of the event at the time. There's a total solar eclipse scheduled to be dead-center on target for Chicago in 2099. I hope Kurzweil is right so cybernetic me can witness it.

Cool. I saw Hale Bopp comet while on an air plane back in 1997. Beautiful.
Our universe is awe inspiring. Makes you realize how insignificant we are in the scheme of things.
I t was a cool video though, thanks for the share. Oh my GAWD!

As an aside...i rcommend anyone who can travel to see one, go see one. At the risk of sounding like a hippy, it was the most primal thing i had ever experienced.
Yes, i knew what was happening, yes i knew the sun would come back but i still involuntarily shrunk a little inside at watching our source of life dissapear right in front of my eyes. I cant describe it, but i know everyone around me at te time felt the same. They all went quiet and the birds started acting weird. It was surreal and frightening and awe inspiring.
Cant wait to see my next one.
We take the sun for granted so much that to suddenly be so focused on it and to be aware of how it would feel to see it go is quite an experience.

Hey, that video need MUTE yes, but we can understand how zealous and euphoric one can get, if something like this happens :0)
Have seen 2 partial and one full eclipse (on ground level) and mostly impressed how nature silences at that moment, like death dominates.
Thinking this may could be 1999 or so at Paris, when eclipse got me and my companions without notice. We just walking on streets, one routless exploring trip, when seeing people gathering in groups and staring upwards. So we asking what going on and then rushing into the nearest record shop, buying random CD discs for protection and on right time back to street.
So, looking eclipse... this is like ordinary science happening, very interesting, but like always, i was thinking. Till falling off on to the edge of the sidewalk :0D So, THEN i experiencing MAGIC moment: everyone, literally every person on sight, but only not me, was completely busy observing. There was a total silence middle of Paris, no walking, no cars, no talking. People standing still everywhere, middle of the road.... traffic lights are blinking, but no movement. Trade shops and also all house doors are open, windows mostly open and people, all of them stay very still and staring up, nothing moves. Get darker and darker, traffic lights dominate for my perception, this was so impressive and unfamiliar, im was my hands in the streets and cannot breathe.
So, next episode - all people starts murmuring and running around, appears a lot of autos who signaling and magical moment was over. But this is what i remember and wanna do some next time - mostly interesting is observe environment when eclipse happening ;0)

This sick explanation has me wanting to see a solar eclipse even more! That sounds bad A.
I heard the airline planned this in advance, delaying the flight so they could get that view at the right time .
Its too bad the excitable dude will forever be associated Lol. I don't get it, I am pretty sure most of us would react with mostly silent awe.
Maybe that guy didn't expect it and was thinking apocalypse.
