It's very different to be able to see the loops of plasma with your own eyes and know it's not just a featureless ball of overwhelming light like we see 99% of the time.
May be raw, but its one of the best clips I've seen posted. I saw the eclipse myself and this footage captures the colours and brilliance of the event as the eye sees it better than most. Nice work!
I'm so sad i missed it, I live in cali, we had Forty percent covering but the sun was too bright without full coverage, most might not even have known, i stupidly squinted and looked a few times and managed to see the moon covering it , others at a christian school my brothers fiance mentors at all had glasses to see it, I just couldn't miss it, its too rare in america i had to be able to see it even though it was dumb and although its still dangerous with regular glasses, me and bro doubled up on shades which helps some but little, we didn't stare , we looked up once we caught it, we looked away, i figured because i used to look at the sun as a kid and squint to see the edges of the ball i'd be fine, My sight is fine but it wasn't pleasent but it was my only option, But to see the sky go darker than it does on any other day or night... man , we could have gone to texas but too many events took place to where we wouldn't be able to find a place to stay for the day, We would have went Man. Lucky people!
It was so much better in person than these pics record. I was in central Arkansas for it, and I saw that purple prominence on the bottom quite clearly. I had binoculars and it looked amazing. The corona was a good three sun/moons wide. It looked like something from a sci-fi movie. Like an evil black hole or something. So cool. I also saw Jupiter to the left and Venus to the right. I looked for the devil comet by Jupiter but never saw it.
Nice! Curious...what camera and lens were you using? My simple cell phone shot is way over exposed and looks like a giant eyeball. No red prominences either. I wish I had a better photo but am glad I spent most of the time watching it with the naked eye.
Same here it looked like a smudge. My son's android didn't do any better. I was in Arkansas and very clearly saw the purple prominence on the bottom. None on the side from my angle. But I was near the center of the Zone of Totality so I got a good view for a solid 4 minutes. There was a guy there with a pro camera taking pix and he said he would send me one but he never did.
@@protorhinocerator142had a brighter ring in the center and the streamers were a bit fainter no video really shows that along with how bright the red flares were
@@onedollasnake From where I was, I only saw the one flare at the bottom. Maybe it depends on where you were within the Zone of Totality? I was about 5 miles east of center. It was very bright though. I thought it was the sun somehow refracting against something on the moon? It was brighter than Jupiter. And of course the corona stretched out much farther than these images show. I saw a corona a good three sun/moons wide. They said the corona should be really big this time and they weren't lying. We're in a solar maximum right now.
Is *IS* possible to catch detail in an eclipse with a good cellphone, but you would have to be on your game- you have to know how to find the exposure compensation setting and dial it way down to get rid of the "eyeball" and bring out the prominences.
@@phila3884I could kick myself. That's right, thank you! I can touch my screen and a slider appears to adjust brightness. I was not thinking at the time due to a last minute unrelated stressor. It took almost a week to get back home and I am just now decompressing and re-evaluating. Can't believe I overlooked this. But I'm still thrilled to have experienced most of my 3 minutes fussing over gadgets. What an incredible experience!
I didn’t have glasses on when first ray popped……….your video didn’t need editing unlike this comment. Totality watched me, from Bucyrus Ohio Walmart parking lot. I’ll be reminded of this event every time I go Walmart. That’s ok, there are Walmarts everywhere 🙏👁️🫦☯️🪬 Truly the Greatest Show on Earth.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia _A chromosphere ("sphere of color") is the second layer of a star's atmosphere, located above the photosphere and below the solar transition region and corona. The term usually refers to the Sun's chromosphere, but not exclusively._
@@RideAcrossTheRiver bro I’m not gonna study the sun with books. I was correct about it being the corona and you were wrong and you even study it. That’s sad. Read more
@@Mantis_Seer The corona did not and does appear red. The corona is the Sun's extended outer envelope. When visible in the eye's natural wavelengths, it appears silvery-white. I was present at the solar eclipse and watching with my eyes using a telescope at 30 times magnification. What features you are seeing as reddish in the video are the _chromosphere,_ a region between the corona and photosphere; and prominences. It's not bad that you were wrong; it's that you dispute facts and worse, you try to re-define them.

I had to see those with my telescope and I did. More rewarding than I expected.
Thanks for sharing!!!...Such a beautiful moments. I saw it from Durango, Mexico, Diamond ring moment was the best for my eyes❤.
I got like 77% or 76% totality
I won't ever get tired of seeing these videos
It was great viewing from Fredrock Glampground near Fredricktown MO . And that's a great clip without editing!

People who got to see totality started their
herros arc
😆
Fantastic view of the prominences!
Great shot!
Where? I went to eastern Quebec on the center line.

I was in Russellville and saw the same. Indescribable. Even the best video can’t come close.
Superb video, bravo!
That's a great clip
Don't apologise, we don't need editing, I love authentic raw footage!
Saw it in Fairfield, TX!

That's a good clip ( in the UK I saw this in the 1960's as a small boy ! ) ................ DAVE™🛑
Let’s hope he had a solar filter on his camera
How long was totality for you
Nice view of the corona. I’m also making science videos. Want to see them?

It looks like a solar eclipse
You caught the chromosphere!
Smyrna mills maine
Yeah could do with some editing
where is the moooooooooooooooooooooooooon?
It's the big black ball. It's backlit by the sun. Like trying to see a friend's face when they're sitting in front of a bright window.
The cow jumped ooooooooooooooooooover it.
Blocking out the Sun.
Yea something is wrong with the sun for sure 😂😂😂😂😂😂 there is red on the corona wow
That's the chromosphere. Read more.
