Flat-earthers just say the Moon gets in front of the Sun as they both travel along 3000 miles above the Earth. But what's really difficult for them to explain is a lunar eclipse, where the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun.
I was able to see Bill Nye speak at the 2017 eclipse in Nebraska. It was an amazing day. I understand what he means when he says a scientific and a spiritual experience are closely related.
I’m so happy Bill Nye has continued on such a great path. Saw him once at a bicycle shop in Seattle when he came in; my brother-in-law work there. He hasn’t changed much at all.
I drove an hour each way to be at the edge of totality in 1979. It was totally worth it! A scientific and spiritual experience. Something I will never forget.
For those who try to denigrate Nye by saying he's not a scientist: Bill Nye has received honorary doctorate of science degrees from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Johns Hopkins University, Willamette University, Rutgers University, and Simon Fraser University. They don't pass those out like they were paper towel rolls.
I lived in East Tennessee back in 2017, and our town was in the path of totality. It was an awesome event. I got to take pictures and enjoy the view. I learned that the best way to take a picture with your phone is by using the selfie camera. It worked great. I posted one of them to my profile picture. I live in Minnesota now, and we’re supposed to get about 75%, but it’s gonna be raining most of the day.
This one is biblical. Will be passing over all the cities of Nivea. 7 years ago one passed over all the cities of Salem. The cross hairs where they intersect is in Illinois at the city of Rapture.
@@Theonetruegod-hw2ei Didn’t say it was the end of days. No man knows not even the angels in heaven know when Jesus Will returns, so I agree with you on that part. But it’s a sign, things are happening now that were written thousands of years ago.

Bill Nye is simply the BEST guy. So loose, fun, not overly serious yet not making science a bloody joke, and he's been doin' this stuff for DECADES. :) I still cannot believe that as a friggin' CHILD, I was watching this guy's insane little chemistry lab segments... and now, here I am like 30+ years later seeing him describe the path of totality on an Eclipse.

The vast majority of the sky looks just like it does as night. As dark as the night sky, with stars. At the horizon, there is a band of light that looks like it's just after sunset.
@@boston_octopus I understand all of that. And I appreciate the romanticism as much as anyone. But it still does not turn day to night.

I can’t get in the totality, I have to work on Monday. Hopefully our managers will let us go outside to see it! We’re only about 100 miles from totality.
Why doesn't CNN just pay the Photographer "thousands" of dollars (aka: a fair price, aka: a big deal to them, but a pittance to you) so you can show the photos? Are you on a budget? Why not help the photographer get paid and help them get a bit of recognition in the process?
If I’m lucky this will be my third total eclipse. If you can find your way to totality and decently clear skies DO IT!! It’s one million percent worth it.
@@boston_octopus any genius knows that since the sun is 400 times larger than the moon - the sun must be 400 times further from the moon than the moon is from the Earth
Not really. You have to take measurements of stars during the eclios and compare those measurements to stars in the night sky. Those measurements confirm Relativity. The eclipse itself does not. But it allows for the conditions where Einstein's theory can be tested
It should only be difficult after the eclipse when everyone heads home, that’s when locals should stay put till traffic clears to normal. Viewers will get more viewing time, still short.
"Everybody should go see it". Yeah, right! I live 1600 miles away and don't have a reservation in the area. Can't possibly do it. But I saw the one in August of 2017, so I know how cool it is. Being where the eclipse is total is way, way better than partial. They couldn't fit the entire population of the USA into the path of totality anyway. A true scientist should be able to do the math on that.
Actually, you COULD fit the entire population of 340 million American people from Texas to New England in the path of totality, and have room to spare for an eraser for your errant calculations.
if you cannot afford a pair of these glasses then you can make what is called a pinhole projector to safely view this. please PLEASE do NOT look directly at the sun without something to protect your eyes.
Predicting the motion of the moon is sooooo difficult … how difficult is it? … it’s so difficult that even the great Sir Isaac Newton couldn’t solve that problem. Thinking about all the variables affecting the moon’s orbit kept him awake at night and gave him headaches!
It depends on how accurate you want to be. Newton showed that the elliptical orbits of the moon and planets would result from inverse-square gravitation. That was a major theoretical breakthrough. Take a glance at his Principia Mathematica and you'll see what a genius he was.

All the same I can’t accuse God of having no judgement if I stand in the way of it and if God does nothing but put on an amazing show for everyone I wonder who paid the price for the admission given most people only pay for the 3D glasses or whatever those are.
