    So, in 1999 I was 14 and in the middle of nowhere with my dad near the France-Belgium border as we found a quiet spot to look at the eclipse. What struck me the most was the ambient light as the moon progressively blocked the the sun. It was dimmer and dimmer and... whiter, and the nature went silent, no noises from birds or insects, everything went shush as the sun dimmed, the world was just not the same. It was eerie.
    The memory still gives me the shivers. If you have the opportunity, don't miss it.

      The moon is going around the earth from west to east, so the shadow moves in that direction at a certain speed. I'm not sure of its relationship to the rotation of the earth, so that could complicate things.

      Explain how they are able to point a laser onto that box(mirror) and have the beam shoot back exactly towards the receiving unit on earth. They are both moving, spinning and rotating. Even if you managed to line up everything perfectly it would only last for a second and would take years for everything to realign.

      You wouldn't "never be able to see". It would not destroy your entire retina - just a small bit. The trouble is that that small bit will be right in the center of your vision which is actually the only really good part there is (your brain does a great job at fooling you into thinking otherwise.). So even though you'd still have a lot of retina left, it would sure feel like you couldn't see. However just glancing at it for a fraction of a second probably won't do anything. You have to stare there for dozens of seconds to do real damage but the precautionary principle says don't stare at all.

    • @venetia6296

    • @josephmagana6235
      @josephmagana6235 3 роки тому +2

      The tides and Earth's rotation are actually the cause of the moon moving farther away, and assuming no outside forces it will never escape Earth's orbit. As it moves further away it will slow down the Earth's rotation until eventually Earth is "tidally locked" with the moon, meaning that Earth days last as long as months and the moon will appear to be stationary in the Earth sky. At that point, there will be a permanent high tide in some parts of the earth and permanent low tide on others. This process has already slowed Earth's rotation down from ~18 hours to our 24 hour days, but it's still so slow that it probably won't reach equilibrium until after the Earth-Moon system is already destroyed by the Sun.

      They'd need to be sure to have plenty of power to keep cool and then warm though. It would be darned cold on the Moon during a Lunar eclipse. Without an atmosphere to help regulate temperature, it is prone to rapid temperature changes. The Moon's surface can reach 260 F (127 'C) in sunlight and -280F (-173'C) in shadow.

    3:06 “By coincidence the moon and sun appear the same size as the sun is the same times the amount of distance away as in its relation in size to the moon” Such a throwaway line but so incredible.
    We humans are living in a time where our moon and sun are in perfect relation (size and distance) to each other to observe total solar eclipses.
    So not only is it a miracle to actually have a star and a moon in this perfect relation but there is also intelligent life on the planet to observe it. Plus as at the moon is moving further away, intelligent life is present on the planet at the precise time in which this will be observable.
    Bluntly speaking, this series of miracles is practically impossible.
    So even if there is life on other planet, they will not ever witness a solar eclipse. And if there are solar eclipses occurring with other planets there will no life to observe it.
    Make of that what you will.

      Pocket Fluff Productions It's a huge liability letting millions of children go outside to stare at the sun. None of the schools around me were letting their students go out to see it, hence why I took my kids out of school and drove to another state, but they _were_ allowing students to be checked out for 2 hours without attendance punishment.

    I remember when that happened, i skipped school and my whole family when out of town to catch it, there was music playing a ton of food trucks when we got there, then when the moon was creeping over and the shadows were being cast at a crescent, temperature dropping, everything was getting to be hushed until seemingly.. the whole town had gone silent. Almost in awe of the magnificence of this event. It was Beautiful, but the silence is what got me, a just hoard of people crammed in a square witnessing their own little place in the universe.

    No no no, the sun is not 400 times bigger. It's DIAMETER is 400 times bigger. There's a big difference

    • @JasonKibbe
      @JasonKibbe 7 років тому

      One might also think that the size is referencing volume - i.e. you can fit 400 moons inside the sun.
      If you have a 1x1 cube and a 3x3 cube, is the 3x3 cube 3x, 9x, or 27x bigger?

    • @dylanlollar6045
      @dylanlollar6045 7 років тому

      Steve MacInnis nope. Because of exponential growth when dealing with multi dimensional shapes, the diameter would be 3× more, but surface area would be about 9× greater and the volume would be about 27× bigger.

    • @dylanlollar6045
      @dylanlollar6045 7 років тому

      Steve MacInnis I don't know what you're talking about, when I have two cups and I say one is 3 times as big, I'm saying it holds 3 times as much water. Not that it is three times as wide. When I say legal paper is 1.3 times the size of letter, do you automatically think that it is surface area or length is 1.3 times bigger? When we're dealing with greater dimensions, the assumption is you bring all into account when you say bigger unless specified otherwise.

    • @dhkatz_
      @dhkatz_ 7 років тому

      Dylan Lollar, But you're talking about cups. What do we ALWAYS reference when talking about cups? Their volume. If I told you my monitor was bigger than yours we would talk about area. If I told you I am bigger than you, I'm probably talking about height. We associate different quantitative measurements depending on the subject.

    There was a solar eclipse when I was in primary school. It was too cloudy to be able to tell if it was total or not, I think. It just got very dark for a few minutes. The birds stopped chirping, and there was an owl making owl noises, even though it wasn't the evening yet. I've checked online. It was a total solar eclipse, but my school was nowhere near the totality zone. The solar eclipse in my area had over 80% of the moon eclipsing the sun, according to the internet.
