We just launched our latest interactive, Eclipse Explorer, where you can watch realistic solar eclipses from the surfaces of different planets! Check it out here: labs.minutelabs.io/eclipses
18:36 through 18:40 yeah no kidding literally a total solar eclipse is actually how people in medieval times discovered the element of helium, and added it to the periodic table of elements. 😅😅😅😅😅😅
19:58 through 20:00 technically you're not wrong, but the actual numbers shows that the Earth's rotation slows down by a full second every thousand years because of the moon's gravity (if we ignore the leap years that happen every 4 years that add one day which we can skip that if it's a new century, but we have to add it anyway if the year is divisible by 400), so every day (in 24 Earth hours) the moon's gravity slows down the Earth's rotation by 1/356,000 of a second, or by 3.56 nanoseconds per (24-hours in Earth Days.) 😅😅😅😅😅😅
For those in doubt, go see it! Go for the full eclipse zone and aim for the middle of it. Ive seen one in Europe late 90s and it's one of the strongest memories i have today.
"Drop it." "Come on, drop it" *fights with dog for the duration of a solar eclipse* "Good boy" *Dog proceeds to chase the sun again for 18 years, 11 days and 8 hours*
Hi Cameron! 😊 Partway through I realized this is just a compilation of previous MinuteEarth videos I’d already seen, but I watched all the way through again because it makes me so excited and happy hearing about everything we’ve been able to learn about and because of eclipses.
Bro I literally stumbled across a Christian video that said this next Eclipse is ganna mark the rapture lol. (Lettem be clear I am not raging on christianity, I just though it was funny)
My dental hygienist got off on this kind of tangent when I said I'm going to see the eclipse. For her it was nonsense about the eclipse going over "7 Ninevehs", referring to cities in the US named after the town Jonah was trying to avoid preaching to. If you're curious, the path of totality only passes over barely 2 of them, and despite Google's widget, there are a lot more than 7 in the partial eclipse path. I am a Christian, but I've also read in Matthew where it says "But about that day or hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." so...yeah. Not buying anyone claiming to know the day.
@@MerennulliYeah, I've no problem with people who choose to follow a religion but I do take issue with people who try to take the faith those people have and lead them - sometimes those people seem to genuinely believe what they say...but claiming you're having personal chats with god(s) that tell you when the earth will end just raises a ton of red flags for me.
It's weird that the northern hemisphere, which happens to have more people on it, is more likely to experience an eclipse than the southern hemisphere.
It experiences more TOTAL solar eclipses. They published a video about it last week. It’s not so weird when someone explains why it happens ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1GrOLainIiA.htmlsi=6uPCFPd3KGeSdGd5
Well summarised. I know your whole online thing has changed, but it's really difficult to synthesise lots of incoming information whilst still re-indexing your own path. Respect!
10:26 I like how they put a hobbit for New Zealand, there were no people there at the time, so no person has ever witnessed an eclipse over Christchurch Newzealand. As far as we know.
it's kinda wild that Einstein didn't get a nobel prize for his theory of relativity. He turned physics completely on its head but no he got a noble prize for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect
Das estrelas visíveis a olho nú, alguma já morreram, mas com a distância, a luz demorar milênios luz de nós, então qual vai delas vai desaparecer primeiro do nosso céu?
I'm surprised that the Cameron person, or rather the Cameron person's hair doesn't match the Cameron avatar that I've been so used to watching in the videos. I wonder what made him change his hairstyle.
Ancient Chinese actually thought it was a celestial dog that eats the Sun during the eclipse (天狗食日 lit. sky dog eats Sun). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiangou
7:09 Twice a year, **eclipses** happen, not _total_ solar eclipses. Sometimes those eclipses are total but they maye also be partial, or annular, or hybrid.
