Why The 2024 Solar Eclipse Is A Huge Deal 

You would think that people will think rationally 😂

No. Because nobody who's been to school believes that nonsense anyway, they only perpetuate it for the clicks.

*crickets crickets*

yeah but the earth is a parabolic spheroid I'm not falling for your tricks

​@@rehatbir.It's pretty impressive how profoundly obtuse F.E are

Same same, round the late 90s

Ahahahah even though it may had beendisappointing for you guys.. Nowadays it may be something you laugh about, yeah? Especially, the newspaper photo!

I love your news paper editors sense of humour 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

​@@2engjnr2 same.

Yeah same but we didnt have fog we just werent allowed to go outside. I hated it

wait the imidiate temperature drop is so cool too

It was my birthday that day too! Best birthday gift ever 🎉

Look at it without glasses!

Totality is safe guys don't be misinformed, you won't see anything if u use these glasses during totality

I remember one in the 90s I'm 4....I was told don't look so I didn't.

40

Ecplise chaser is the coolest description of an astronomy related thing I heard in a while

@@myheartwillstopinjoy8142 It almost sounds like a class in an online game lmao

Yeah 😊 xd​@@Skunkanoid

But you basically got the same effect either way🤓

I’m sorry man. It was super cloudy here in Oklahoma but about 10 minutes before the sky completely cleared up, it was actually magical 😅

Wow it's been a week? Plus I heard schools try to make sure not to let you be in a break then so you don't hurt your eyes looking at the sun

I hope u have a great time too still and thank u

I’m going to definitely try to see it even though I work that day. Hoping for no clouds.

i live in the path of totality!! absolutely so excited!! shame you don't get to see it though

❤️

I’m lucky and am in the path of totalaliation 😄

I was in the path of totality as well but it was completey cloudy I didn't even know where the sun was behind the clouds.. it did turn super dark though which was still really cool

Imo the total eclipse was nothing too spectacular to see especially because we’ve already seen photos and videos online. Tbh those photos and videos look better than what you see in person lol. However, the temperature drop and the wind is something I did not expect. Also, I’m surprised how bright the city was even when the sun was almost completely blocked. We had clear skies, the total eclipse lasted 1 minute, but the sky was as bright as the dust/dawn. It was darker than before the eclipse, but definitely not like night time. If you missed it, it looks like what they show online: black moon in the middle, a ring of sunlight round it, but the sky was not pitch black at all.

Same here in Dallas! Such an amazing experience. All the neighbors were out. Kids at the school across the street were ooooing and aaahhhing. I love space.

I'm south of you in Akron area. We weren't counting on seeing much given our ever present clouds, but we did! It was amazing, all the more so as I honestly wasn't expecting to see it.

SAME im in the south tho-

Is it just me or does the western hemisphere have a lot more solar eclipses than we do. In the east.

​@@Mystery65344 yeah bro geometry sucks.

@@Kaviranghari like in my area there hasn't been a total solar eclipse since the 80s And I was born 15 years ago.....and not one since then has been total...

@@Mystery65344 where i live there wont be any tse for atleast the next 2000 years. Talk about being earlier than necessary.

@@Kaviranghari where are you from?

I live in the path of totality for the eclipse earlier today and it was one of the weirdest and most amazing things I’ve seen. I would highly recommend traveling to wherever the next one is to see it.

Well, travel. it's a beautiful experience and worth it.

@@spyder027there is one in iceland in 2026, i hope to see it

You could travel to see one!

I've never seen a solar eclipse

Same here, and pictures just don’t get it right.

me too it was cool I'm right under this one Winthrop Me

That day sucked, I was at the DMV all day (while it happened) and didn't have glasses to watch it.

Me too I was in second grade 😂

Me too I was in second grade 😂

Love the story. Just shows how much of impact a good teacher can have

She’s probably not anymore among the living to get the chance to see it.

you can look without any sort of eye protection during totality

What county?

India 😢😢😢

Indian here. I remember seeing total se back during 2020 lockdown, and 1-2 more. They are not as rare. Just hype.

20th March 2034. Remember the date

India

same bro, you're not alone.

Same-

there will be one in sydney in 2028

One is coming up in Australia

@@leroythelemonohoh that’s actually really close

For readers from outside Australia, Exmouth is a tiny coastal desert town in the tropical north west of Western Australia. Thousands of people crowded in from distant places for a few minutes viewing of the eclipse. Then they were gone. 😅

I took my pfp in Exmouth 😊

How

That’s amazing!

We had Jupiter next to the sun in the eclipse today. I got the eclipse in totality and Jupiter in frame for a few pictures

sad day... used to be a beer too!

Those people are too dumb to know what a corona is. The fact that they didn't know what it was before covid says a lot.

@@mtnmosin2740 It still is a beer

I already removed covid from my mind and immediately thought of the beer lol

@@MadGladiator-_ lol

Hey me too! Happy birthday to you 😊

Happy Birthday 😊

Happy Birthday! Hope it was everything you expected, and more. I myself didn't understand how awesome a total eclipse would be. Blew my mind. I now see why people actually chase them haha

did you get a clear view?

How was your experience now that it happened?!!

truly, truly, amazing.

​@@hotrdncwby A total solar eclipse is so incredibly beautiful and awe-inspiring for an individual human to witness, let alone any living thing on a celestial body... It has been that way for thousands of years, captivating the minds of artists, scientists, and anyone lucky enough to see it even once in their lifetimes. You're a human being, not a planet, most people never get to see an eclipse without actively placing themselves in the right place at the right time. It's absolutely nothing like watching day turn to night... Nothing like any other natural phenomena on Earth. You shouldn't be the one casting pity... Have you seen a solar eclipse with your own eyes? So you go out often, then? If that's the case I'd love to read an example of a natural event you think is more incredible to witness than a total solar eclipse! I can't think of any...

@@hotrdncwby just because they think its the most incredible thing they have ever seen, does not, in any way, mean that they dont get out often?? also, dont compare a human lifetime to the lifetime of the earth. not everyone gets to witness an eclipse in totality, because they dont happen very often! the earth is over 2,000 years old, our average lifetime is 70-80 years. total eclipses happen every 20 or so years, in tons of different locations. do you think that, they’re not special, and incredible?

the best teachers always do that 😁

She's a Journalist not a Scientist. I really don't listen to Journalists regarding Scientific matters. yeah Jim Al-Khalilii, Brian Cox, Michio Kaku those people work best.

so exciting 😊

​@@leecowell8165yeah because journalists usually don't understand the subject matter, so it's inherently less insightful and more sensationalized without explaining the story in a level of detail that's satisfying.

Sorry to confirm this but it is! I was lucky enough to see the total solar eclipse back in (I think) 2017! The moment of totality was crazy! And SUPER cool! But then the eclipse actually lasted a long time after. I remember after we got home you Could still see a chunk of the sun block out, but after totality it goes back to daytime brightness rather quickly!

@@dharrison6504 I lived in FL during that time and it was crazy. I don’t remember if we had a total eclipse there but it got pitch black for a very short period and then the way the natural sunlight looked messed up for a solid 15+ minutes was freaky

@@tynj4173 it’s definitely crazy! The best part for me was the birds going dead silent and then the bats coming out, all the natural noises just changing so suddenly, it’s crazy!

I was in the partial path in 2017 and totality earlier today. The difference is enormous I can’t even describe it. If you can travel do it for the next one

I didn't expect it to be, but it really is a whole other level of amazing.

I saw it for 3:45 in central Indiana

you didnt need your glasses when totality passes, you cant even see it with the glasses when its totally covered, sorry for your loss

You could have driven 20 min north and seen a longer totality

Right in the middle of the path it was 4 minutes. The further you get from the middle, the shorter it is. I had 2 minutes too. I could've gotten closer to the middle but I needed to go to work the next day, didn't have time to sit in traffic for hours.

lollllll. in the totality, u can remove ur glasses i think

😂 seriously? Why is it a state of emergency? An is there a lot of people there now?

How's the weather there in Niagara? Here in Toronto it's cloudy, guess we don't deserve to see it then

@@jwhisky4128 it's cloudy, but supposed to clear up soon. Crossing my fingers it does

@@Arkskii-gf03 there is around 12000 tourists rn, so not too much

Mabye around 3000 more than normal- I'm just glad roads aren't too busy

Oh... yeah... 😬

REAL

How so??

Tf lmao 😂

For 4 minutes!? 😳🤣

I mean I guesssss lol

Good for you, it is an amazing experience. Did so in 99 in France, drove a couple of hundred kilometres up onto a hill in the countryside. Seeing the moonshadow sweep across the meadows and the reaction of the animals... enjoy.

@@2engjnr24 minutes of totality but around a couple hours of partial eclipse

During totality you can safely look without glasses

@@ruthandres6588Not really. You won’t be immediately blinded but it will hurt your eyes

@@ella_cupcake not during totality.

@@ella_cupcake Its totally safe to remove your glasses when its in the total phase. Lasted 3 minutes near montreal, quebec, canada. Even saw the corona

So did the Apostles. Glasses=Just another scam!!!!!

It’s beautiful !!! I travelled to see some family and OMG ong it was surreal 🥹

It’s worth it bro. Make you you’re in the path of totality because it’s a COMPLETELY different experience than to not be in the path. If you have the opportunity to travel to one then I highly recommend it. I’m still enchanted by this experience a few days later

Beaver Dam it! (this was my way of PG cussing for those who didn't notice)

lucky to live in north america

I immediately thought the NY earthquake a product of this eclipse I looked it up on NASA and it quite possibly is as the Moon can do waves in the ocean as well etc

​@@PeachesCourage this seems unlikely for a lot of reasons, but mainly because effects don't usually precede their cause by several days. A simpler explanation might be that tectonic plates are always moving and occasionally earthquakes happen as a result. New York does experience small earthquakes fairly often, most people just don't notice them. The last big quake in the state was 2011 (5.8 magnitude), and the last total solar eclipse in New York was in 1925 with no big earthquakes in the area around that time.

Also, it's very hard to tell when the totality will exactly end and your eyes can be damaged without you knowing. So it's best to cut it relatively short.

@@GoldenTV3 you definitely don't want to watch the entire time. But you could always set a timer on your phone. Or get the solar eclipse timer app

I've read you need them even in the path of totality. Don't screw up your eyes!

Why 7 hours? A drive to indianapolis is 3 hours.

You’ve got good taste!

simp

Found out why the schools keep kids inside. The schools insurance companies. They don't want no kids going to the ER on schools watch with vision problems.

If the clouds don't ruin it...

It’s literally snowing 😂

I saw it in the path of totality today in Pulaski, NY on the shore of Lake Ontario- it was actually very cool. The best part was the 360° sunset effect it created.

I was about an hour from the path of totality but sadly my alarm didn't wake me so I woke up two hours after it was over! I was so angry

totally didn't forgot

When tf was it😭

Yesterday

Yeah if it's just the corona you don't need glasses

I could see the moon shadow from the ground. A minute before totality the horizon to the southwest got dark like severe thunderstorm dark and then we were in totality. A minute after it passed we saw the northeast horizon get dark. It was pretty cool

@@spyder027 You Lucky Cheeseball, glad you enjoyed it. Total Solar Eclipse is a sight to behold.

First good comment in this thread

No such thing as a coincidence

Dumb comment award just for you: 🏆

cuz the universe has a mutual hatred for that region

Because Europe is tiny, it's easier to throw a rock at an oil drum than a soup can.

Punishing yall for the colonization 💀

@@soisaus564 Cos it's not blessed by the baby jesus, allegedly.

@@plutonium09And you get rewarded for warcrimes and genocide?

Not to be rude or even comment on religion at all, but this wasn’t even a coincidence. This has been tracked and we knew it was coming for years. There’s eclipses all over the planet all the time. It’s just the result of having a moon orbit our planet: sometimes it moves in front of our view of the sun

@channel1928it takes more faith to believe it’s all a big coincidence and everything came from nothing than to believe that God created the heavens and the Earth.

@@Viamedia202 Everything didn't necessarily come from nothing but that also does not mean it was god. Who created your god - out of nothing? Another god?

@@Viamedia202 both are possible, but you *only* believe in God creating the universe and reject all other possibilities. That is incredibly shallow minded and I advise you try to look at things from a different perspective

Not to be rude but, if god was almighty he'd make the eclipse be visible all on earth. It probably is coincidence.

They just get more media attention.

did ya see they said the moon is now rusting? well isnt that interesting. so its made out of metal. and we know it rings like its hallow. this all is pretty strange.
