I was about 50km south of you guys in New York and saw it there. Cameras just can't capture what a solar eclipse actually looks like, and what it FEELS like! It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen and probably ever will see.
Do you mean 500 km south? Because 50km from Montreal doesn't even reach a quarter of the distance to Ottawa, it's next closest big city. For comparison, 498 km is from Montreal to Toronto, still withn Canada. Add another 40 - 50 km to that and you reach NY state.
@@_Just_Another_Guy Maybe closer to 100km south, straight down into the states, not southwest into Ontario. It definitely wasn't 500km south. I had to be in the zone of totality!
I witnessed it in Dallas,Texas. Absolutely Amazing!!! I'm sure as you can agree, no picture or video does it justice as you view in person. First your jaw drops in awe, followed my a smile from ear to ear. And then chills are running through your veins. What a great moment that was. 😎
What I find sad about this eclipse, is that there were people out there that thought it was not safe to view it even during totality. So many people missed out on the best visual of the eclipse
@@MegaChallanger I agree. Either they were misinformed or didn't know any better. A lot of them missed the diamond part because they were too quick to put their glasses on.
@@MegaChallanger I was with my grandma and I told her when the son is fully blocked it you can take the glasses off, she did not believe me till she told me she could not see the eclipse. She did end up taking them off cause I told her again.
I think what is most shocking, in my case at least, is how suddenly that "black ball" floats in front of the sun and it stays there. There you really become aware of how incredible and magical gravity and the solar system are.
This is for me the most natural total solar eclipse footage I have seen during this year's eclipse. No auto adjustment of brightness so you can distinguish that, is it already dark or not yet.
I drove up from South Carolina and was right there with you! Montreal is a fantastic city! Perfect weather and a perfect clear sky. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing. It happened so fast it almost felt like a dream. I got goosebumps just watching it again!
Agreed 👍🏽 👍🏽. Hands down the best amateur footage so far, better than any thing else I have seen. We drove from Steinbach MB to Montreal . Then we chased the “apocalypse” 😅 down “as my five year old called it😊). We ended up driving from Montreal to Gagon QC , on the north shore of lake Memphremagog, about 140 kms east towards Sherbrooke. The pictured I took don’t show it justice or any where clear as this video did. Well worth the drive. Great video again.
I’m glad you film it. I watched it from the same spot as you…I think you might be in the old port. I was with some friends out there and didn’t really let the best of my emotions get me.. I’m watching this and I’m crying my ass off… The energy was so above me… -32 year old man😅😢
I had so many emotions, crying with joy, mouth hanging open so much I drooled, it made a responsible 27 year old adult drool all over herself. I'm going to see the 2045 one too, after seeing this, I absolutely must experience it again.
I'm not gonna lie, if I was a person who lived back in the ancient days and witnessed this, I would crap my pants and start yelling "THE SUN HAS FORSAKEN US! THE GODS ARE ANGRY! GATHER THE ANIMALS FOR SACRIFICE! BLOOD MUST BE SPILT TO QUELL THEIR ANGER!" then, after a few minutes when the sun came back I'd calm down I guess.
@Estieee-ij7su It annoys me how people think is a sign of Jesus's coming back or something from the Bible like just let us enjoy this historical moment 🤡
I saw it over here in Pittsburg, New Hampshire! I'm not too far from you! This was so amazing! I'm usually Miss Chatterbox, always with a lot to say, but I was in such awe of the whole thing that other than repeatedly yelling at my younger brother to not look at the sun before totality, I didn't say anything. My mouth hung open in awe. I actually drooled. I'd never seen anything like this before. I was impressed by the 56% eclipse in 2017, but this was so much more amazing. The sky looked so weird, I don't even know how to describe what I saw. It's so weird, we know what we're looking at, we know how it works, but for events like this, it's the emotional part of the brain that's in control.
Great footage! Well done. I saw totality at my home in Southern Ontario, but my one aunt watched from her balcony in Villeray. The other aunt was in the Cantons de l'Est. Beautiful!!
Dwayne chéri je t'adore mon ange Love so see Solar Eclipse with u chéri Its so beautiful so clever and always so moving so emmotionel Dwayne Elliot chéri like u mon amour ...
So, I've seen both North American eclipses. This video perfectly captures the reactions of people. They're not cheering or clapping like at a magic show- you literally have a personal reaction to this that you can't control that is primitive and human.
The sun darkened slowly from one end to another steadily, but then paused once the middle of the sun was darkened. After the brief pause, it clears up, but faster than the time it took to darken. This happened also in the prior eclipses.
This is way more amazing with this cloud cover all around the eclipse, because, thanks to that, it is complete darkness, thus way more spectacular than total solar eclipses in cloudless skies where the luminosity looks like mere twilight..... Here, the only area without clouds is where the eclipse is, so it's perfectly perfect perfection....
All Glory goes to God. All of nature obeys His Word. I really hope people who saw this live know and understand that there is a God and He loves them, and longs to have them repent and be baptized in His Name. Amen.
The video is darker than it was to make the corona look more like it did in person (although it seemed much bigger to the naked eye). During totality there was a darkness like just after the sun sets, when the sky is still bright on the horizon, but the sunset was 360 degrees all around the sky. Words and pictures cannot do justice to this experience, it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
@@42fbaoh ok, thanks for the explanation. I agree, no amount of photos or videos gives justice to a total eclipse justice. It must be lived in person to fully appreciate it. BTW, I was in Eagle Pass, Texas myself for the eclipse (the first place in the USA to see the eclipse). ☀️
Hey man I say how you used to be in NMJA and I’ve always wanted to be in there but it was never meant to be but I love your run and I still play RO-JAM and I’m pretty good at it too
And we have made the sky a well-protected canopy, still they turn away from its signs. And He is the One who created the day and the night, the sun and the moon-each traveling in an orbit. (Quran 21:32-21:33)
The sun is soooo bright even with 99 percent coverage that only special extreme filters can deal with the contrast. With any other camera, 99 percent looks like full sun until totality.
"oh my god" nous savons dans notre coeur que Dieu est vivant. Il vous aime il l'a prouvé en envoyant son fils Jésus christ mourir à la croix pour vous libéré du péché et de la mort. Jésus est vivant et ils vous tend les bras, ils vous aime 🙏🏻
Interesting to see,Last time I can ever remember seeing the Total Solar Eclipse here in the UK was back in 1999,Looks like we be getting next one in the year 2090,I be 112 years old then,I be a very old man then lol,Thats if im still here to see the next one,Here's the google answers......The next full solar eclipse in the UK isn't expected for another 66 years, on 23 September 2090, according to the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. The UK's last total solar eclipse occurred in 1999. Thousands of people flocked to Cornwall, which was the only place in the UK to witness the event in its totality
Here's proof that God was speaking through this eclipse: in 99% (if not 100%) of all RU-vid videos about it, everyone was yelling "Oh my God"! That speaks a lot.
@@ivangodin1850 What "judgement" is "looming" in any natural eclipse??? That's as silly as arguing that thunderstorms are a "punishment" from God. No, God is too good to be vindictive or punitive. God wants us to enjoy and appreciate nature's wonders and is urging us to explore our vast universe out there and to not be wrapped up in just ourselves. I say eclipses, like rainbows and autumn leaves, are God's promise of a vast universe out there.
I wish I live in a country that can witness solar eclipses. Being that I'm a huge enthusiast of these things, but despite of decades living, despite of hearing news about this phenomenon, still, nothing in our place.
@@PADARM Well ive been to 2 solar eclispes and its never gotten that dark and also in the video, u can see the light of the camera change darker and brighter before the moon blocked the sun. and you could be correct too
@@evanblakeman8175 take in consideration it was also cloudy and you also have to take into account if the eclipse occurs near sunset, it will be darker than at noon
I can see why the ancient Mayans and other civilizations were scared shitless when Total Solar Eclipses happened. Complete darkness and shit looks like a Black Hole in the sky that’s about to swallow up the earth, it’s so ominous.
