Next year there is another total solar eclipse. 31 million North Americans live in the path that will get to see it in totality. Many more tens of millions of Americans will see partial eclipse. And all Americans will have the opportunity to travel to get a better view if they can. We know these things years in advance.
I am so glad that we have good TV cameras. I can see it without being there. I can remember the total eclipse in Melbourne but it was cloudy that day so that we never actually saw the eclipse itself. Here we have had this opportunity without even leaving our loungeroom. Wonderful stuff. Thank you for this chance.
How far is the sun and moon? How is it only seen in a tiny spot in WA? Is it cos the sun is closer than we are told and as such you need to be in a very specific spot to see this?
It is because the sun is so much larger than the moon, but very far away, they appear to be about the same size. Therefore there is only one specific place that the totality is observed. It has to be very precise. I am all for theories but at least come up with a sensical reasoning.
@@Ayverie4 Sun 93000000 miles away and huge Moon 240000 miles away and tiny Wake up to my sense now ? Do a drawing and think about it? I get the same size bit but why only in Exmouth ? The entire planet in daylight should see it oh btw it’s cos it’s flat as well
@@Novastrous This particular one was a bit different for some reason however luner and solar eclipses are a dime a dozen, nothing rare about them at all. And to describe them as miraculous is an idiotic attempt to prescribe some stupid religious element to them.
where’s the ring????? all these “captures” of the eclipse are total .. no one so far of the partial (annullar) version. IS there no one on the exact annular path ?
Incredulous that there are folk who would travel to such a remote location just to witness an event lasting a minute or so. Obviously, they don't have a TV with a recording device that would enable them to see it over and over again!
There are some aspects a TV can't show. And those are the points why people go there. Like looking everywhere you want. Feeling the temperature and the wind. Talking to the other people there.
From what I've heard from people who do that, there's nothing like experiencing it in person. Really makes you understand why they thought it was an act of God.
The guy said the sun is 400 times bigger than the moon mmmmm! I think it’s a little bigger than that, as I gathered you can fit 4 moons in the earth so that would make the sun only 100 times bigger than earth so I think the dudes got his figures around the wrong way never mind!
We're not talking about volume here, it's about width lol. That's what we see, which also explains why the sun and moon appear equally as big to us because the sun is 400x farther than the moon is.
