Trevor is a young man who has decided to pursue technical photography full time. He's all in. His current plan to grow this career via Patreon. His contribution to this project was irreplaceable. He volunteered to help make this video by proposing it to me several months ago and emailing me the coordinates, not knowing that we were already working on it with my buddy Matt Whitman who was miraculously able to get us access. When I told Trevor at the end of this project that it was likely he would have several more Patrons as a result of this effort, it was clear that it had not even crossed his mind. It is my sincere hope that this UA-cam comment enables him to pursue a career in technical photography by pairing up hundreds of willing contributors to his work. He photographs Space-X launches, and all things aerospace..... seriously...he was introduced to me by an astronaut. This young man is legit, and his work will not disappoint you. He is going places, and it would be awesome if you checked out his stuff and decided if it's worth investing in someone who is humble and works hard. Also, he can print this picture for you.
Please consider supporting Trevor at: www.patreon.com/trevormahlmann
At the time of this comment, Trevor is driving across the wilds of Wyoming without cell phone coverage and he has 29 Patrons.
I did the same thing you did, I had a lot of things I was planning on doing and when the eclipse happened I just forgot everything. On a side note someone we know bought a $1300 powered hydrogen filter and none of our lenses could fit on it, we needed a lens without stabilization, so that sucked.
This is great, but really needs to be pinned at the top of the comments!
Absolutely love the work you do. Thank you for sharing it with everyone. High five from Johannesburg, South Africa.
BUT... you didn't see the thermal ripples on the ground, did you? I think you had to be near concrete or brick or new asphalt for that. Tell me someone has shown you that !
LOVE South Africa, my brother in law and best friends are from SA. Throw a boerewors on the braai for me! Yummy!
is no one going to give credit to how amazing that calculation was?
They were on spot.
I'm pretty sure there isn't really huge calculations..
@@protocnic3772 why?
@@eriknestaas2270 They're on the point. Like @a vewy noice potato said
@@protocnic3772 So that means that it was a simple calculation?
How wild is it that they were able to time that to a half a second and be correct about a giant building in space, housing real people, transiting across the sun with a computer that fits in a normal pocket. 20 years ago, people would've called improbable. 60 years ago; impossible. 90 years ago; magical. Today, it's just a normal advantage of the modern age.
Machtri well said sir.
Everything regarding the ISS has to be so precisely calculated that these timings become possible.
6000 years ago "Whats so special about it?"
There were very precise calculations "on paper" long before even real paper was invented. Look up ephemerides. or just en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephemeris
20 years ago was 1997 and you could have done the same thing then with the Mir.
What blows my mind is that there is humans on that ISS
Walter Cash right!.....and how fast it was traveling!
Thats so true and they dont feel the speed they are travelling at it is just amazing
@GodMade TheGlobe ?
Earth isn't traveling 😁😁😁
@@chicofromph33nix64 yes it is are you stupid lmao
3:50 That’s crazy just to think that there are people that far away, in that small thing flying around the earth extremely fast, and you just watched them fly by
F .B .I that was the 3 right
It aint that small
@@bremruatfelabs0057 And It ain't that far
and you can easily see it crossing the night sky at certain times of the month
FERDA Bl_NK You can download an app that tells you when it’ll be overhead and visible depending on your location. Also, if you’re interested and don’t know this, you can also use apps to figure out when satellites, rocket bodies, or other space junk will be flying over head. I see satellites/rocket bodies almost every single night while doing astrophotography and observing. If you already know all this, ignore my comment. But if not, just thought I’d let you know. Sky Guide is my favorite app to use and then I have a separate ISS app. Sky Guide has a subscription service for $19 a year, that gives you billions of objects (deep space included) instead of a couple million like usual apps. I’m not affiliated with them at all, but can’t say enough how awesome they are especially after their Supermassive update. It allows super zooming, guided tours, and the updated catalog of objects and much more.
It’s a great app for knowing when satellites, the ISS, rocket bodies, and other space junk will be visible to you.
If you look really close you can see an astronaut waving out the window! :)
No, I'm pretty sure they'd be looking out the other window!
Cassar Isn't it pretty next level once in a lifetime moment to see a solar eclipse from the space? Actually it is propably cooler to see how part of earth just turns dark
Cassar so that they could watch the eclipse
And he has a nice G-SHOCK watch and the time says it's 10:10
You are definitely not a fellow Boilermaker! LOL!!!!!!!!!!

BoltTheMighty I'm making that a meme for sithposting
This has to be the best comment I've seen in months!! Thanks for making my day! :D
Same over here: Immediatly wondered whether Darth Vader was impressed by the view... "eclipses don't concern me"..."the ability to cover the sun is insignificant next to the power of the force..."
Boekster Cubing hello my fellow cuber!
Well there we go, I was first to like your comment.
"I'll be damned."
That made me cry.
He sounded just like my grandpa. Gone 20 years ago.
RIP to your Pops
Sorry to hear that :(
;-;
Sorry bro
@@ll-ht7mb rude
I had an encounter with a flat earther once and he told me that the international space station was flying at an altitude of 2 miles being held up by helium balloons and at that point I lost faith in humanity🤦♂️
Just imagine how big the balloons holding up the space station are.
Flat earthers and religious believers... same difference.
I didn't saw them yesterday. PRETTY STRANGE.
@@ChaosMagnet Not really, i'm christian. Those other guys are just plain stupid.
Plot twist: There are no flat earthers. They were just acting dumb
If the World was Flat, there would have already been some Russian kid hanging off the edge taking pictures with his selfie stick.... lol.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol u can call him/her a slav
If the world was flat, this would have never happened.
It is flat. The iss does not exist. "Something" went by the moon and it wasn't the iss.
If the world was a globe, then we wouldve seen by now a russian kid taking a selfie. Smh wtf
That was the best photobomb in a while!
@Mossad Agent basically an unwanted thing/person in a photograph but because this is so epic, the photobomb is actually wanted
You mean for ever
At 5:35 you can see Venus in the sky next to the sun and moon. Amazing that the camera picked it up.
But venus is the brightest object in sky (except sun and moon). You xan even see it on a sunny day so no reason for the camera to not picture her.
@@sankang9425 I've never seen Venus on a sunny day o-o I'd love to though
@@91JLovesDisney There are two methods to increase your luck.
(1) Observe Venus when the Moon is passing by. This will give you something to focus your eyes on and gives you an idea of where in the sky to look for Venus. Unfortunately, Venus is currently heading back towards the Sun, so the next best times to look for it using the Moon will be 4 November, 2024, 4 December, 2024, 3 January, 2025, and 1 February, 2025.
(2) Observe Venus when it is near its farthest angular distance away from the Sun *in the dawn sky.* Observe Venus before sunrise, and simply follow it along as the Sun rises. The next best times to look for Venus post-sunrise will be between mid-April (when Venus is at its brightest) and early June (when Venus is farthest away from the Sun) in 2025.
(3) Observe both Venus and Jupiter during the 8 April, 2024 total solar eclipse. This is the earliest opportunity to observe a bright planet in daylight, but eclipses aren't your typical "sunny day".
At 6:00 you can see Regulas just off to the side of the Sun.
@@Devlinator61116 Hi - I actually ended up photographing Venus during the daytime after commenting this! I'll have to try the moon thing sometime. Thanks!
6:36 wow... You can actually see a mini solar ejection
That is totally awesome.
Oh that's what it was thanks.
That mini solar ejection was probably bigger than Jupiter. haha
“Mini” lol
Not as small as you think.
Who else has been waiting for this video
Bama Bassing His advice on the eclipse helped me immensely. The app was within a second. The shadow bands were unreal!
Bama Bassing, I have. I knew whether he nailed the photography or not his reaction would be priceless. I have so much respect for Him.
You know it. :)
Meeeeee!!!!!
Bama Bassing I was relying on it.
Dude, that ISS went fast! It's a good thing they had FPS cameras. I wonder if they noticed anything different with the farm animals.
antdude noone has ever gotten a proper perspective on how fast the ISS is going in its orbit.
Untill now.
I was in Sparta Tennessee during this eclipse. My exact words were "If that doesn't humble you you don't have a soul". Truly one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. All the cicadas and crickets went to chirping like it was night time. Wow.
I was near Spring City at Watts Bar Dam. Turns out, maybe DON'T set up right near the cooling towers of a nuclear plant! Ugh! I did manage to catch the red hydrogen light of a prominence through the clouds though.
They got the transit to a second's precision how amazing is that !
Also beautiful eclipse, very rare footage indeed
Can't even FATHOM the amount of math required to figure out where to go to get this shot. Astounding.
not only the location, but to the exact last second.
That's actually not so hard. There is a lot of info about ISS movement online. Real hard math looks different, this is mostly basics.
Jake Finnegan nope, those cameras can track almost ANY solar object including the ISS. Put in what object you want, and it will keep tracking it. Sun, Moon, ISS, etc.
Jake Finnegan there is even an app and it notifies you
Oh, okay. Michal says we are being foolish, and showing admiration makes us appear as weak. We're sorry, Michal. We'll cut it out.
I was in Kentucky with my daughter for this. It was amazing how quiet the animals and birds got when totality began. The air got cooler too, being quite a hot day up until that point. We got to see solar prominences as well using a fairly modest telescope we were using.
"There are good people all over America." That was the best part.
@Whiff true
@Whiff Hahaha, I was just about to comment exactly that...
hehehe.... yeah....
@Mason The comment still applies, there are good people all over America.
There are good people everywhere so what is his point really??? Or is it specifically "America" because people are generally bad there or what??
The transit of the ISS got me unexpectedly emotional as I thought about the people on it, and the eclipse was emotional as well. I knew you would have an amazing video after the eclipse, Destin. Thanks for sharing your work and your passion.
Triairius I think that sometimes about airliners flying so high, remembering that there are ppl up there eating breakfast, at 500 mph!. Ofc the ISS is even more crazy
sorta was a deep moment for me as well brother...wow to think they're moving FAST but to them in it the ISS they're just going really slow.
Do a video on the iss transit calculation
Genious
well its not that hard, the thing is at a constant velocity and a constant angle and theyre at a constant spot
No one would enjoy seeing that... Its a bunch of matrix math, frame shifts, rotating frame correlations, orbital mechanics, projections, and incomprehensible time codes. I had to do it in college, and so unless you are actually really really interested in doing these calculations yourself (for, say, Iridium flare calculations) then you will probably not enjoy it very much.
This, please and thank you.
Yeh, I'd totally love to see this. Even if it's a bunch of complex math, I'd love to see how you pulled resources together to do this accurately.
Somehow, the fact that this all was predictable, AND viewable, proves to me we're living on a big dirt ball swinging around a much bigger fire ball with a little dirt ball that gets in the way every so often!
My fav part of this video.... the love of the moment and sharing it with those loved ones. Time is precious
clearly that was TIE Fighter
Baked Vader finaly someone with REAL facts
Solar eclipse? *That's no moon.*
It's a space station!
David Barnhart no it was a TIE fighter
That's not true! That's impossible!
Hay Destin, I love all your videos and your enthusiasm towards learning new things, and I'm not trying to boost your ego - but this video is one of your best. I was literally grinning from ear to ear, from meeting a dusty but kindly ol' cowboy rancher to your success in capturing the I.S.S., to hearing the joy in your children's laughter, to the love of your wife who needed a kiss from her husband who places more importance in his family than a (almost) once in a lifetime event. Archive this one for your family album so your kids' kids' kids can see what kind of man their Great Grandfather really was. *Great video*
Bless you, what a lovely comment :)
3DPDK well said and amen.
Very true!
I agree. This was by far the most candid and passionate video he's ever posted. His passion is already infectious, but this has absolutely made my night.
Indeed. I was planning on saying something dumb when the eclipse reached totality but when it happened all I could go was stand there, grinning like an idiot. It was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen, and I loved watching this video and reliving it with Destin.
Its so crazy how fast that thing is going and this just put it in such perspective for me. Totally humbling.
_This is one of the best video I have ever seen on UA-cam so far._ *Thanks to all of you.* ❤
Lol, it doesn't count as a swear because he's a cowboy, I'm done.
Warrior Son I wasn't sure either, I swear America is so censored 😑
Warrior Son that is the swearing he's referring to
words are sounds you can make with your mouth. i really dont understand why people get so bent out of shape over a handful of 4 letter words.
I watched that section several times over thinking I had missed something...I'll be damned if this is considered swearing : P
Believe it or not, the same word can carry a very different meaning to different people in different parts of the world.
...bloody whingers
International space station or TIE Fighter?? 🤔🤔
henry benitez there was no x-wing fighter chasing it, so space station
lsmeteor wut? U know that the moon is the deathstar
That's no TIE fighter. :)
My exact thought :)
Daniel Hoover that's no moon....
3:09 When I see something AMAZING but nobody else does 😂
What is it?
Brandon is cool I’m meaning like Destin yelling out “Oh it happened I saw it!” But no one else was caring they were just confused.
@@buppy599 k
This day brought me so much joy, I got goosebumps just reliving it through you guys. Love your content and the excitement you bring to the world of science. Sending love from KS!
I've often watched the reflection of the sun off the ISS on a nightly transit. You can tell it's moving pretty fast, but you don't normally get an idea of its size. This footage shows how fast 7.8 km/s really is. Gives me goosebumps to think about our achievements as a species when we work together.
and its not even propelled by anything, AND ISNT CRASHING INTO OTHER SATELITES! its so cool!
Chris Mations Technically, it's be propelled by the gravitational pull of the planet. Space is pretty big, crashing into a satellite is near impossible. The nearest satellite to ever come close to the ISS was a mere 178 miles away, and was sent on that trajectory for the sole purpose to take a sweet photo of the ISS above earth along it's new trajectory path.
The ISS has thrusters and gyros that allow it to maneuver pretty well to avoid the rare potential junk which is tracked and from the ground with precision. Most of the time the thrusters aren't even used as it is vastly easier to just rotate the station to dodge stuff like Neo did in the Matrix to avoid bullets. No need to get entirely out of the way if you can just rotate this way and that.
Chris Mations hahaha you forgot the meaning of "space" small brain, there is plenty of room up there for billions of satellite they all have different orbits futher away....you realise the moon is 280 thousand miles away and still orbits us right 😂😂😂😂 special!
Makes me sad that we can do all this but still have a few who believe the earth is flat!
Why were you chewing Trident gum?
One of our group brought Eclipse gum.
Dan Black it took me way too long to figure out the joke xD
Pretty sure he was chewing 5
HeHe
Dan Black purrfurred gum of the illuminutty 😂😹
Clever... casts a... shadow over my humorous irony skills.
This is my favorite Smarter Every Day video Destin. Your childlike wonder of this incredible astronomical event is refreshing. Forgetting to take your lens caps off to spend time with your family tells me that your priorities are in order. Great production! And thank you.
That was incredible, thanks for sharing such a mind-blowing experience.
To everyone involved in capturing this event and making this video,
THANK YOU!!!
Very, very cool. This world certainly needs more folks like you.
Great job, everyone!!!
FirstName LastName i
Thank you, Destin. I went and traveled a few hours south to view the eclipse myself purely because of your videos. I was in the 98% range, and I had thought several months prior that it was good enough. However, watching your videos on the eclipse encouraged me to travel to totality, and it was an experience I will never forget.
King Axalis glad you decided to move to totality! It truly must be a sight!
Same here, It was only and hour and a half drive for me and I wouldn't have made the trip either if it hadn't been for Destin. Few people around me were as interested in it as I was and it was really discouraging. But his videos and a few others made up for it.
Okay, it's late at night and 4 years later, but this is making me weep. I haven't been this overwhelmed in ages. Thank you for capturing this beautiful moment.
Destin, you have so many great videos, and as much as I wish I could brave a trip into space I think of anyone I know you deserve and would be a great candidate for a space trip!!! I love the way you look at things and just want answers.... I waited a long time to become curious about the world, universe around me but once it starts it’s like breaking the rupertz drop and your vids have been so helpful in learning to also open my eyes . Thank you and keep up the good work
Destin! This really made happy!! Kudos to you!!!
+Adrian Rodriguez thank you!
Yeah that was amazing to watch and super amazing math/timing. Well done from Perth, Australia
My family, including our 1st unborn grandson, and 4 dogs traveled from Michigan not even knowing for sure which direction to go because of weather. We accidentally wound up in Hopkinsville, Kentucky in the back yard of one of the coolest couples you could meet. We were driving an old school bus in the hopes of experiencing this once (maybe twice) in a lifetime experience. I expected to be wowed, but I did not expect the emotions that I experienced. They just don't make words to describe what we saw. But I sensed the exact same emotion from your video. Thank you!
firemanJeff911 me and my family went to Denver, and traveled to Casper WY on eclipse day
How was the view? We wound up about 5 miles from where the moons shadow was the shortest and it was a complete accident. I just kept driving and checking the cloud cover predictions until Benji, our host, flagged me down and made us park the bus by his barn by offering us electricity, water, an actual bathroom, and shade. Our schoolbus has none of those things and it would have been miserable if we had to just park in a field. But I still would have done it. What an experience. Cool channel by the way. I subscribed!
I was in hopkinsville as well. Stopped at a farm in the northeast. Wasn't the traffic back insane? I had to get off of pennyrile parkway and follow us 62 all the way back home... all the small towns I passed on the way back will probably never see that much visitors again. Very cool
Insane is right. I was in traffic all the way through Indianapolis. And no A/C on our school bus. Still worth it though.
Over 3 years later and I still get goosebumps watching this.
We are literally so small in the grand scheme... this just reminded me of that.
the only channel where I won't regret for subscribing ...thanks man for being genuine...god bless u n ur family...love from india
love from india!
Pratap Gaikwad Love from India
How can you regret subscribing?
Dustin, here in Oregon we had strong shadow bands before and after totality. The only reason I knew to look for them was your video. Thanks
Awesome!
I had one camera pointing at the eclipse with a filter, while another was pointing at the parking lot of the Apartment complex I live in in Portland. I have yet to review my footage, so it'd be interesting to see what a time lapse of the shadows in the parking lot were doing.
Destin, I was in Salem, OR and was able to witness shadow bands just after totality. I knew to look for them because of your video! Something I was not expecting was all the crescent shaped shadows, just blew my away!
We had strong ones in Utah as well
This was incredible! Happy it showed up in my suggestions👍😎
This is by far thee coolest thing I have seen. I was in Colorado for a Gunsmithing school when this all happened. We were all using our welding helmets to look up at the sun. I was completely oblivious to the fact of the Space Station zipping by at all. It was the coolest day ever!!!
easily the best video I've watched in a while. tfs!
The way the ISS moved reminded me just how fast there are actually going
+
Ttdj4life it moves like 17,000 miles per hour
aand they are VERY close to earth so it doesn't seem as slow as for example the moon
256 miles up.
yeah it's crazy to think about. A sunrise and sunset every 90 mins.
Absolutely stunning. Incredible video, it’s breathtaking and hard to imagine a football sized object like that flying though the sky all the time, it’s crazy when you can actually see it
I have seen many of your videos but so far this is one of the best! I could feel your excitement and the way you transmit that to your family and everything was perfect man. you are the best! thanks for sharing your passion with the world.
The ISS part was amazing! Thank you for filming this! :)
The death star across the sun, with a TIE fighter
You are constant inspiration for my curiosity, therefore, trying to share your info, excitement, and absolute love for all things known/unkmown and your family. Beauty.
Absolutely amazing video! Best I've seen all year so far!! Love it
You filming the ISS across the sun during a solar eclipse should be listed in every science/astronomy magazine and journal. This is amazing what you pulled off, nobody else would have ever thought of or even do this!
Do it again in 7 years while talking to the ISS crew via HAM Radio during it's solar transit. ~ You deserve tons of credit for observing an extremely rare event.
This is why i'm subscribed to this channel.
Honestly, the landowners' description of weird was literally the best description of the eclipse having seen it just outside Carbondale, IL. It seemed like all creatures nearby were equally perplexed at the 360 degree sunset, 4 visible planets and stars in the middle of the day and noticeable drop in temperature that occured as I best described it to my neighbors as 'trippy'. I thought the show was over when we started walking back to our car afterwards and noticed the distinct crescent shaped sunlight hitting the ground having been filtered through the trees above us. What an insanely beautiful experience that day was!
Makes sense. The event only comes around every so often so for most of the animals and other wildlife it'll be the one and only time they will ever experience such an event.
Dustin Many years from now when you'r gone your children will remember watching this with you ... my father has been gone since Jan 1, 2010 and watching this reminds me of watching haley's comet when I was maybe 5 or 6 years old
3:51 That's no ISS, that's a TIE fighter!
Hahahaha yes!!!
Actually it's a tie-dye tee shirt going VERY fast.
[Insert Howie Scream]
if that's a tie fighter we need to prepare for invasion...
TheCptCoy it's a good bet the empire knows we're here
Hey smarter every day guy, can you explain this phenomenon that happens during the eclipse...
The shadows of trees, where the light pierces through the leaves will take the shape of the eclipse, and there will be 1000's of crescent moons everywhere.
When trying to recreate this with a flashlight, or lightbulb, and putting a fake moon in front light source and shine it through some foliage the illusion does not reproduce.
Why is this?
Subaru Blue this is because the small holes where the light "pierces" the leaves project the eclipse onto the ground. During the eclipse, the sun is shaped like a cresent, whereas a flashlight doesn't, so the leaves project the shape of the flashlight, which is circular
about 18 answers for that
Subaru Blue this can be recreated anytime. It's like seeing the image of the sun when, you put a hole in a piece of card, and hold it over the top of another card. You can see the image of the sun on the bottom page, the hole is only letting a small amount of light and blocking surrounding reflected light, so you can see the actual sun on the ground. This happened during eclipse because of the reduced scattered light, and the gaps in the trees between the leaves acted as the 'holes in the card'... hope that makes sense. :)
If you look up "pinhole camera" it will explain the phenomenon... The gaps between the leaves are acting like the pinhole.
Also, the sun's rays, coming from so far away, are basically parallel when you are seeing them projected on the ground, but a flashlight or anything that close to you is sending rays out in many angles, fanned widely, so they don't create crisp images like the sunshine does.
Not a great explanation, but check out "pinhole camera" and it will become clear. :)
Subaru Blue Look up the Camera Obscura my friend. ;)
Superb video, thank you for posting this for us all.
Revisiting this today. This is what allowed me to find you, and thank you for years of making me smarter every day!!
Missed opportunity to chew Eclipse gum during an eclipse. Way to go Trident
I thought the same thing! LOL
Enemy Orbital VSAT is inbound!
xKarma _ hehe
xKarma _ lmfaooo
Amazing video! That song was perfect for the mind blowing occasion btw
Awesome video for so many different reasons. Loved it!
Yo that transit shot was sick tho
The math was right!
Destin, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I saw your video two months ago about the eclipse and I decided to drive 13 hours to South Carolina to be in the path thanks to you. The skies were clear and I saw the most amazing thing I will ever see. Thank you so much
very cool, were you on that Naval Carrier with everyone else during the eclipse? Lester Holt was the News guy with everyone else on the carrier
Jake Boss I went to lake Murray in Columbia, sc. it was a beautiful view and totality looked great
Thanks a lot for the views. Living in Hawaii, we did not get a view of the eclipse, so I loved seeing what it actually looked like, and the ISS tansit was the icing on the cake. As a ham radio operator I have talked to the ISS several times, but I have never seen a transient video like that of it before. That was great.
That was a pretty amazing moment. Great job
Had the opportunity to buy Eclipse gum but still takes Trident...
That is awesome that you captured such a brief event. Congratulations! And of course, thanks for letting us see it too!
Total eclipse Bucket list. At 72 I’m hoping 4-8-24 is a cloudless day.
Hope its gonna work out for you :)
I really enjoy your videos, you make it exciting. I love the energy you put in it. To see a total eclipse live would be a wonderfull thing to me. Take care man.
I had to scroll back to work out what "swear" he was referring to... I find it so funny that American's thing "I'll be damned" is swearing!
I tried to find it and thought they cut it :D Didnt know thats a swear word
"Americans" don't think "I'll be damned" is a swear word. There are _some_ Americans, often religious types, who do however. It is making light of what they see as a very serious subject, and many parents would be upset to hear it on a show they let their young kids watch. For 90% of Americans, they wouldn't even notice it. I had to go back and replay it to figure out what "swear" he meant. But I don't blame him; I believe he's somewhat religious, and the show is meant to be family friendly in the original sense of the word, where you avoid things that will offend and upset people.
I watched the whole video. Where was the swear word??
I'm American and I didn't even know what swear word they were talking about but I suppose it was dammed

Are you always that much of a jerk?
Juan Orejel lol you flattards are the indoctrinated ones.
And another Flaming Moron.
Juan Orejel xD that's an awesome comment.
I guess some people still don't understand where did the word graduate come from.
It makes me happy that there are people doing this stuff.
So cool! The timing was spot on to catch the iss very cool!
Man that was astonishing! I didn't get to see the eclipse but this gave an ok perspective to it all. I know it's not the same as seeing it with your own eyes. I am determined to go where the next one will be. I'll be old enough to fly there. Not only the eclipse but you guys did the math and captured the ISS transiting which is just crazy to think about. Space and everything about life is awesome.
Good Lord man! Trevor's set up costs $15,870! And that's just the base price, no tax or shipping!
Brian Ervin its worth it.
cheap.
Yeah, we used a lot of borrowed equipment. Supporting him on Patreon could change that.
As of yesterday, I can relate to the “my brain stopped working”. Nothing can prepare you for a 360° twilight while staring directly at the sun.
thanks man..couldn't be there but ur video put me right in the middle of the action!
At night you can spot the ISS aswell, it is a light dot traveling through the sky. There are other satelites you can spot too, and there are apps to simply track their position and getting notified when it travels overhead. You can't see the shape like it was in this video, but still pretty cool to try at home!
"as well"
Jason Twist Satellites travel across the sky, you can see them as a dim light moving at a steady pace, not flashing or blinking
Jason Twist it moves. About the same pace as 1-mississipi 2-mississipi across the sky. It's unmistakable when you do see it, considerably faster than an airplane, brighter than any stars visible at night.
I'm a radio ham and have tried many times to catch a glimpse while trying to bounce an APRS beacon from it but have only successfully seen it once as it's always been fairly low on the horizon when I've been about.
Absolutely incredible to watch.
Impressive stuff, well done!
This is the best video I have ever watched on UA-cam! Thanks
Thank you for your efforts the opportunity to see this, seeing the transit of the ISS is something I never thought I would see after listening to NDQ. Sent a shiver down my spine!
Rob, You can always see the ISS from your location with the naked eye using one of the apps or websites like iss astroviewer
Thank you so much Destin. This will probably be one of the coolest things i see this year.
I'm really surprised this video didn't get as popular as it should have. Great work Destin and Trevor!
I keep coming back to this because it’s so frickin awesome
Wow... That one photo inspired me to pick up amateur astronomy again
LockRay the fake one of the iss?
LockRay ...I bought a telescope with a camera adapter a while back... I focused in on Saturn and saw the rings. I was so overwhelmed I cried. I just recently bought the Nikon P1000 and get some great shots!
if you look real close, you can see that the sun is being blocked by something...
Jason, why are you like that? I've read a few of your comments, and all you do is belittle people and constantly being negative.
This is proof the earth is flat.
Emrys McDonald YES!! THE EARTH IS FLAT. FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS 😂🔥👌👌👌
Actually I was wrong... the earth is a tesseract .
Emrys McDonald naw the ea4th is a first dimensional version of the tardis
That is eff'n wild!!! Nice job guys.
If you blinked, you missed it. I still am amazed at how much more detail we are able to see through film/cameras. When you slowed the video down at 3:52, you can actually see the outline details of the space station as opposed to seeing a blur of something passing through. Great camera work and thanks for the video...
RIP flat Earth community.
They're already long, LONG irrelevant.
A Rocket stupidity will never die
Indeed, there is no cure for stupidity itself. However, the negative effects of stupidity can be tamed with correct information and education.
Remember the words of the old Albert , Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
Flatards are so arrogant that this won't make the slightest bit of difference to their beloved fantasy. They believe the world is flat, no matter how much evidence is against them or how strong or how directly apparent the evidence is.
Guys really... This is the most fantastic video I have ever watched on youtube!!! Thank you for this! I can literally feel your excitement... Absolutely fantastic guys! Wow... Best regards from Switzerland 🔭
And, really special that you brought the kids!
You know what ? .... I almost cry of happiness by the wonderful father Destin is ... Touch my Heart deeply, Totally wonderful person. Wish i had a family like that. Awesome video like always but these one has a little bit more of the other side of you we don't always see. Greetings from Argentina !! :D
Coming across this made me appretiate my own smile. I had an anneurysm on August 5, 2017. I had made plans to see the eclipse in St. Louis Mo. As luck would have it, the day of the eclipse was the first day I started breathing on my own again without a ventilator. As a photographer from the Show Me state who wakened her grade school children from a dead sleep to see a lunar eclipse, on a school night many years ago. Thank you for sharing this. It is nice to know there really are regular people who TRULY enjoy astrological events to the point of sharing the exsperience with those they love. I really did not know I needed to see this today. Thank you!
pretty spectacular stuff. watching that pass by barely visible with some high quality equipment is an unexplainable experience. LOVE this channel.
