Warm Regards,

Dr. Telepun’s enthusiasm is entirely contagious. You can tell just how excited he is to “do science” because it’s the most direct access we have to new knowledge. So cool!
I want to see this guy and the Klein bottle guy from Numberphile hang out for the eclipse!
I won't be able to travel to see the eclipse. I live in Washington State. But man is this making me want to get a flight and a room to see it. I really hope we get a full length video from Smarter Every Day that I can enjoy the full experience of the eclipse. Such a majestic view of our solar system.
@@graxo3752It's 8 minutes of shade. Yay.
@@RuminatingWizard It's so much more than that though. If you aw it and still think that then I'm honestly kind of sad for you because you weren't able to enjoy one of the coolest things I've ever experienced
Usually, i watch for the science. Sometimes i watch for the humanity of it all. But this time, i watched for the nerd laughter. Specifically the science giggles. Its awesome when you love something this much and find someone to share it with
Thanks to you all I met some super nice people during the eclipse near Russellville, ar. We all had our app ready and shared our experiments!
Destin, you have no idea how special yesterday was as a result of watching your eclipse preparation video. As a result I was able to enhance the experience for both of my boys (ages three and six). We live in DC and traveled to Cambridge Springs, PA to experience totality - we got VERY lucky and had a break in the clouds when it counted most! We made their names out of hole punches on some gorilla tape, tye dyed some clothing for the Perkinje effect (spelling?), and had our spaghetti strainer & cheese grater on hand to see even more perfect flipping bananas! You are such a special guy, I really hope that you know that. Thanks again SO much for everything that you do, and thank you for helping make our experience that much more special. We can’t wait to see how your eclipse went once you post about it!
Exactly the reason I came back as well. I wasn't even originally planning on seeing it but this video was so well done I got just enough FOMO.
Being able to share the experience and get to point out all of these observations was unbelievable.
What a lifetime memory. Thanks Destin.
I watched my first (and thus far only) total solar eclipse in November 1994. It struck me then (and I still think this, to this day) as the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my entire life. Sunsets, sunrises, beaches, prairies and snow-covered mountain peaks, as beautiful as they may be, are no match to watching the day turn almost instantly into night and seeing the sun's corona with stars in the sky.
And the shadow effects just a few instants before & after totality, so cool. I stretched my hands with fingers spread out, and little crescent suns showed up in the shadow between the fingers projected onto the sidewalk.
Also, when I was done photographing the partial phase through a telescope, I reoriented the instrument so that the metalized glass solar filter projected a huge crescent sun on the side of a building, allowing a considerable crowd of people (many of whom did not have proper solar filters) to watch the eclipse as it progressed. The cheering of the crowd, like it was a soccer final match, sent shivers through the spine.
What a memorable day that was.
This makes so sad. 1994 I was 8, in the path of totality by chance, I had the glasses, and then it was super cloudy. Never had the chance again but it will happen someday.
Where did you watch it!?
@@joshiasbaja3934 I watched it in a city called Criciuma, in the southern state of Santa Catarina in Brazil. I chose that town and travelled 800+ kilometers from Rio de janeiro specifically for the event because I knew beforehand that it would be dead-center in the path of totality, yielding some 4 minutes of totality.
Watched the whole video and now I'm very much looking forward to Destin's next eclipse video.
same
He completely is geeking out on this entire adventure and that is absolutely great! I love to watch anyone that is completely into what they are doing, it doesn’t matter who they are or what they are into because it’s infectious!
My farm is in Ohio in the path of totality! I am preparing to enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime event with my help and our animals (I'm a retired professional trainer and behavior consultant). This episode has given me some more science to observe. The timing is great because I have more than a month to prepare. That is why I love and support this channel... science!
I'm close enough that Ohio might be my weather "Plan B". I might need to visit your farm! haha
Man that's so awesome 😎
I'm happy to be far away from this sucker
I think I ran across this guy in Hawaii around 20-ish years ago where there was a partial eclipse. If it wasn't him, it was someone who worked ceaselessly to educate and interest people in how all this stuff works. It was one of the most interesting and educational classes I ever went to, and my kids loved it. He really has amazing energy and a dedication to this subject that you don't see often.
The bags for the ropes. That's not just clever, that's dang ol' genius right there. I'm gonna have to remember that.
I love all the thought provoking work Destin and everyone put into all the videos, but I swear it's those sprinkling of genius nuggets like that which keep me getting smarter every day.
Rather than bags, wrapping them around something will prevent them from becoming tangled. It looks like pvc was being used. So rather than attaching to the pole, attach them to eyerings in a coupler between segments. Then if you brace the bottom you can raise the pole by pulling on the mid and top guys. PVC is kind of global so if you premade the couplers I bet you could get the length of the pipe anywhere allowing travel with the setup.
We love Dr. Telepun and are really lucky to have partnered with him to work on the development of his Solar Eclipse app!
His passion and exuberance has me literally smiling and giggling along. This is what life is supposed to be for us all. Thank you Gordon, you made my week!
Destin letting his inner child out while they are putting up the pole is just awesome.
Like the colander and cheese grater, I thought the thousands of crescents on the ground caused by the dots of light poking through trees and everything else particularly blocking light was pretty cool.
Don’t just look at the sky and forget to look at the shadows for crescents and shadow bands.
I was at my aunts for the 1999 total eclipse in Hungary, I was ten! It was amazing! The birds going quiet, the coolness, the corona! The funniest was to see Bogár the dog (literally Beatle because of his shiny coal black coat) run into the kitchen and hide under the table ~20 minutes before the total eclipse. He always did that when a big thunderstorm was coming.
I'm in Arkansas after bagging my West Texas plan. May the Sunshine be with you.
We were in Arkansas too! No clouds at all north of Little Rock!
The passion of people like you Destin, and Dr. Telepun is absolutely what we need around the marvel of everyday life AND once in a lifetime opportunities such as an eclipse! If only more of us acted upon our passions like y'all, there would be no end to the excitement and eye opening wisdom we all could share with each other. What a world it could be, sharing great things with our fellows.
5:45 I saw my 1st eclipse in middle school. I think it was May 30, 1984. We were each given two pieces of white poster board. We'd poke a hole in one (the top one) and have the sun shine thru that onto the second piece to see the moon in front of the sun.
Strong Bill Nye vibes. Love Gordon's energy!
I love people like Gordon. People who like liking things, who learn for the fun of it And find enjoyment in passing what they learn.
I never thought about the eclipse blocking everything from the sun - there is a cool chance to record some really interesting natural electromagnetic phenomenon without any noise, which just means you can hear cool noises on the radio.
I used his app for the 2017 eclipse. It worked great. I have a pretty decent telescope for observation this time, and I’m so excited for it.
Anyone thinking about going, don’t even hesitate. Make the trip and see it.
47:16 i notice that at dusk every day - my eyes struggle to switch from day to night - so nice to know what that means!
Will I be driving 10 hours for this? Absolutely.
This channel should be called “Smarterer Everyday”.
It’s just so poetic.
It is very entertaining to watch you nerd out over someone else’s nerding out.
Originally came to this 2nd channel video to check out the Purkinje part. Scrolled to a random part to see how far it was, ended up listening to it for 5, then reallized I have to start watching from the beginning because it's all so interesting! Thanks for the video!
I feel so lucky that I live right in the line of the eclipse. No travel required! Also, thank you for the great video!
no way im close to it (mine is 92.4% covered)
@@PlainStuffhehehe Well, given how crummy the weather is looking, I might not see it after all lol
Gordon’s enthusiasm is mine as well just without all the items for running experiments. I’ve been telling all my friends and family here in Texas to get ready and get prepared to do whatever it takes to experience totality. It’s easily the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen or experienced in my life and worth all the time and effort involved to get inside the path.
Ok so I’m watching this and the coolest part this video Destin is when you turn around and kiss your wife! For me it showed how much you were enjoying the experience of simply sitting out in the middle of nowhere and being in the moment and doing it with someone you love! That is “being smarter everyday” in life, well done!
Used the app on Monday (April 8th) in Marquand, Mo with a large-ish group of viewers. It was an absolute hit! $2 was a small price to pay for the group's benefit. So much cooler having the countdowns and narration!!! So glad I used it and it's only because of your video Destin. Thank you. 🙏
I drove 130 miles in 17' for the path because you had me convinced to see it Destin. This time, I drove 420 miles on my motorcycle to Bloomington, IN for the path! The shadow snakes were much darker, larger and more defined in 17'. This time, they were faint and hard to see, but the best way I can describe them is that they looked like ripples in a pond from a splash. I have saw 2 totalities in 7 years now and wish I could see them all! ❤ Thank you both for explaining why they were so much different.
Destin, I am a devout atheist, but I frequently read the scriptures you include at the end of your videos and many of them have enriched my life or given me something to think about. I never would have thought reading the Bible would have any relevance in my life. Anyway, I just figured I’d tell you about that because if tables were turned, I’d want to know that about something I put thought and effort into.
Also, I went to Waco Tx (from Houston) to see the eclipse. I used this app and it was absolutely excellent. That eclipse was easily one of the most impactful things me or my family had ever seen. I didn’t know seeing totality would FEEL like that. I keep reliving it in my mind to get that feeling again.

From me, my wife and kids, thanks for making us smarter every day.
just what i needed today
Missed the 2017 eclipse due to me getting pnuemonia a few days before. Have had to listen to my sister rave about it ever since. I live in the path of totality this time around and am pumped. Now just need a little cooperation from Mother Nature.
I loved Dr. Telepun!! Where is this facility? It would be a pleasure to be there with my children
I think this video should be on the main channel. I like the less formal feeling of it and how we get to see the nerds behind it. Something about that to me touches my heart more than a well formatted video. I think there is a shift in society that makes this connection feel more important to those who are accustomed to the formal. Like the change in the phases of the solar eclipse. I their is a phase change in the mental state of people with what is going on in the world. We all like the blooper reels for a reason. It shows the humanity in those trying to avoid it. As cringe as it might sound to some, I want you to blooper all over me. Show me the nerd side of Destin and his guests that is the real you. Keep up the great work!
Is this just me or are their others that see it?
Gordon's just like a kid going to the solar arcade. I love the giddy passion as much as Destin's cute jabs at it because he's just as much of a bigger nerd kid himself.
Man, I hope the weather behaves. It'll still be amazing if it doesn't; getting really dark and spooky for a good 8 to 10 minutes.
That north alignment jig is brilliant too. Power of triangles.
CS Lewis: "I think we delight to praise what we enjoy because the praise not merely expresses but completes the enjoyment; it is its appointed consummation."
Thank you so much for this. I'm a retired high school science teacher, so I am geeked out too! I watched your first video before the 2017 eclipse, then went to Tennessee to see it. I knew a few things to watch for, which made it more amazing. You can't explain this to anyone, they have to experience it. It was THE most amazing experience I have eve had.I started a count down timer then and have literally counted down the days to this April. Going to Texas this time: over four minutes of totality!!!
After watching the post eclipse video, and watching this again, one comment from the post eclipse video is that strikes me is: “interested people are interesting”.
The whole experience was emotional for me as well
The best view of the shadow bands (when they pass through) is on a gravel road or a concrete parking lot. I was on a limestone gravel road and for me it was as awe inspiring as totality.
On a whim, we took the kids the 600 miles south from MN to MO to see the eclipse. We almost missed it due to traffic and only arrived a minute prior to totality and only experienced maybe 20 seconds of Totality. This video was an invaluable primer so I could point the various phenomena out to my kids. Thanks!!
Today was my first! I can't thank you and Dr Telepun enough. I cried. I saw a solar flare with my naked eye. I also remembered to grab the solar filter off of a telescope someone brought. At our observing site, i was the first person to see the solar prominence through the telescope. We saw shadow bands!!! It was kind of hilarious. I bought a queen size white sheet set; but we had to iron it on the ground at a public park. I still can't believe it happened. We drove roughly 9 hours in total. I met eclipse chasers from Europe, even. What an unbelievably amazing experience. I was only able to have this experience because of Destin and Gordon. Thank you both so much.
Maybe we will see you in Egypt? I'm all in now.
I was just outside of Torrington WY at the 2017 eclipse and I''ve used his app and absolutely loved it. I saw the shadow bands and shoot a short video of that. I was amazed at being able to see stars and watching a 360 sunset. So much to see and do, it was the shortest 5 minutes of my life.
April 8th here…my chickens free range during the day. 20 mins before totality, they started behaving differently. It was fun to watch them.
Thank you so much for this!! Wishing everybody clear skies on eclipse day!!🌞🌚
This is so useful. Thanks Destin and Gordon!
Excellent video, Destin !
😎
1:41 Thank you for all you do. Love your channels
Thanks Gordon and Destin for a very interesting presentation on your eclipse preparation!
what a genuine wonderful human. thank you destin!!!
Thank you Destin and Gordon! This is a great video - so entertaining, enthusiastic, and educational.
Fantastic! Thank you for making this video. I hope it is seen by many people.
Thank you for the great information to prepare for this eclipse. I saw things I might otherwise have missed. I forgot about the shadow snakes though. What made preparation really important for me was not only was I in the path of totality but a close family member with me has dementia and this was their one and only chance to see totality and experience the wonder of it all before their memories are eclipsed in another way. From a family with a science background, this was an awesome and a bittersweet moment but we shared it together. Your tips helped us to make the most of it. Thanks again.
Thank you both for sharing this!!! We are sharing the videos and definitely using the app!!!
We have had our reservation for 6 months - in the dead center path @3:00 - so hoping for ideal weather.
Thank You for doing this vid and sharing prior! I have a few things to make!
was the weather ideal?
@@doodthenoodle yes - 73 Degrees and mostly cloudless skies! Epic day - feel very fortunate.
@@doodthenoodle You have some nice RAD music - not sure about the horse one but these others are cool.
Thanks Destin! I'll be watching here in north texas!
The simplest way to explain why the sensor buckets/shields open to the North is because sun is always (a bit) toward the equator so in the Norther Hemisphere, the sun will never come from due north.
Aug. 21, 2017 Eugene Oregon I noticed that during the eclipse the lights filtering thru my big leaf maple trees casted Crescent 🌙 shaped illuminations on the ground. The leaves worked like a Giant Pinhole Camera. 😊
The way Destin laughs is so contagious!!! Thank you Destin for sharing this extra. I won't be on the path of the eclipse, as I'm in Belgium, but getting to understand a bit more of eclipses is really cool. Thank you
Alright Dustin I just watched a short video now I need more science.
Already planning the trip to catch the eclipse. Thank you for the final push to do so!
The app made this event even more awesome! Thanks for the suggestions
I think the most important question about the app is whether it tells you when to press play on dark side of the moon so that totality syncs.
Excellent video, thanks Gordon and Destin!
I love what you do, get smarter every day 🙂.
The absolute nerdy delight in this video is really something! I love this so much. Can't wait for totality on Monday!
Thank you Destin!!!! @smartereveryday I watched your videos just before the eclipse today and because of you, my 80 year mother was able to see the Shadow Snakes.!!! love your channel and appreciate your down to earth honesty in every video.
This was so cool. I won't be able to witness it, but you guys got me excited about eclipses! I love how Destin is giggling all the way through! And I got teary eyed when they talked about the dad with the videocamera at the end. What a great dude. Thank you so much for this video! That was an awesome watch! ❤
I used his app in 2017 and it was great and such a big help! Looking forward to getting to experience it all again! It's great to "meet" the guy behind the app! Thanks!
I've been watching Destin for years, he is nothing short of delightful and helpful in teaching everyone. I have no doubt him and the Dr had a great time. Can't wait to see the eclipse.
The Doc reminds me of so many people I used to work with before I retired. Driven and obsessed with why things are the way they are and a need to explain it to us all. Thanks for the perspective.
Thank you for explaining the shadow snakes!! I was wondering what I was seeing.
So much science in different subjects in one video, I love this. Thank you for this video. My elementary teacher denied our class to watch the eclipse when I was young and ever sense I have been interested in eclipses and try to watch them when they come to the area I am at.
We are blessed our lake house is getting crossed twice! First round we were like you, much more amazing than we expected!!
I love Gordon, he is awesome, his enthusiasm is fantastic to see!
Re-watching on eclipse day, and it would be wonderful to see another interview with Dr. Telepun after the eclipse to learn all about his experience!
This is brilliant!
All our chickens went to bed yesterday during the eclipse, then came out a few minutes later. Pretty neat to watch.
Love the bag of ropes. I do that with usb cables 😂. Destin, another winner of a video. You help people appreciate the world and that's great brother ❤
Thanks for this. We are making a 8 hour drive. So pumped for it.
Just saw the eclipse in Montréal this afternoon. That was absolutely SPEC-TA-CU-LAR and very moving. A very unique and wonderful show. I have never seen something natural or artificial that comes close to that. Sadly, it was too short (1m30s). Wow!
Thanks Destin.
This year, I hope to get the whole image instead of just half of it like I did in 2017 when I was so excited. It was my first TSE, and even with Gordon's timer app running, I still forgot to move my camera during totality and it wandered half-way out of the frame!
I am stoked to be able to see another one, and I really appreciate how you're helping others to learn more about them as well. I would love to be with or around both of you for this one. It would blow my mind even more than it blows yours. Enjoy!
Another great video! Glad you found my shadow band video helpful.
Crazy eclipse obsessed little genius, loving the Gordon ❤️
Today was so amazing. I’m right in the centerline in Ohio and when totality hit all I could think about was This is God! I don’t know why it just felt like something bigger to me. I just got that sense of God doing this. I did not expect to feel that way but it was more than just Science! Another thing, when you were talking about the visuals. Me, my mother, and my aunt could not focus our eyesight about 10 minutes before totality. We were looking at the trees in the park and none of us could focus. It was so weird I don’t know why it was very bizarre.
We will be near broken bow Oklahoma. Already got a hotel and off of work. I cant wait
I'll be in Texarkana, TX! I live about an hour from there in NW LA so I'm definitely driving an hour for this!
We can't wait! We're right on the centerline of totality in northern Arkansas! We'll have 4 minutes and 12 seconds of eclipse totality. We're hosting a small festival on our farm on April 8th, we're so excited!
brilliant, science at it’s best . Finestkind.
I live a few minutes from the place with peak totality. I'm so excited
It's because of y'all that we and our friends were able to enjoy the last eclipse and this time around we are going to be even more prepared. Love the app! Y'all are awesome!
I had a terrific view of hills into the distance during the 2017 Oregon eclipse. In addition to the eclipse itself, here's hoping that you capture some great video of your surroundings.
The path of totality is only an hour from where I live in the NW corner of LA. YES I AM GOING. An hour away? I wouldnt miss it.
I'm admittedly a bit jealous. I'm about 9.5 hours from the closest place which is Paducah Kentucky. If I had known about this a few months earlier I would have made arrangements to be there. Guess I'll be going to Florida in 2045 instead. At least I have plenty of time to prepare though right? 😂
This is very informative. I had no idea that all this stuff happened an eclipse. Pretty cool!
I really love your 2nd channel
Man, I would love to be there with ya’ll. I love science! Thanks for sharing.
First so happy i watched this video before the eclipse. I shared the sharp and fuzzy shadows, and shadow bands with people present, but was not able to explain why either was going on, just couldn't remember. With the shadow bands i noticed when i looked up at the sun the moon approached at an angle of about 4pm, and left at 10pm on a clock dial, we were sitting facing the sun, the sheet was spread out in front of us. just before the eclipse, the shadow bands were lines parallel to us running away from us. After totality they were 90 degrees different in line with our viewing direction running right to left. Very amazing and odd.
The sharp and fuzzy shadows were my favorite thing to see that I wouldn't have seen without watching the video.
I ended up in the hospital a week before the 2017 eclipse, and missed it. I'm ready for the 2024 eclipse.
Really looking forward to seeing the results of your data
Same. You know he’ll get some good video and images as well. 🤩
everything about this video was awesome! Thank you so much Destin! Thank you so so much! \o/
