In 2017 I spent too much time trying to take pictures of totality with a camcorder and my phone AT THE SAME TIME. 2 days ago I spent much more time being IN THE MOMENT as Bill suggested. We were at the Neil Armstrong Space Museum In Ohio with thousands of other people and it really made the experience extra special. If you are a kid, start planning to see the 2044 eclipse now.

It's a great thing to do as a family. Beyond the event it'll be a reference point at family gatherings in the future.

Bill Nye the science guy, Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! While his head spins.

[@sondrayork6317]

Partials do the same thing. We saw a partial eclipse yesterday and as it happened, the temperature went from 70 degrees to something like 63 degrees because the air cooled as a result of the sun being unable to give its light and warmth because the moon just had to get in its way. Lol I love explaining it like that.

Bill is one of the greatest scientist and mathematicians Ever !!! .. Right up there with Newton ,Einstein and Greta Thunberg

0:45 It is so “disorientating,” in fact, that he forgot that the real word he meant to use is “disorienting.” We have a phenomenal ability as flawed humans to make up words that don’t exist because we can’t reliably pronounce the ones we already have. 🙄

Since we are talking facts. Bill nye is not a real scientist he is an engineer. 😅

[@mark2220]

"a person who is studying or has expert knowledge of one or more of the natural or physical sciences" I mean, you're just wrong.. but okay. Do you know anyone out there with a degree on that wall that says "Scientist"? lol

[@Tobias-Carlos]

@@mark2220 If he ever became a scientist it was probably because he wanted to fit the name but for years or at least people that grew up calling him a scientist were all lied to, he was not one then.

[@Zlnfgz]

He didn't explain anything

the only mechanical engineer i trust

[@masterofallgoons]

What do you have against engineers?

[@lordchrisderson5964]

Bill thinks we are so much smarter than the previous generation 🙄 He's like "we've got science " like they didn't know it was a solar eclipse also. How do you think they perfectly aligned the pyramids with the constellations

[@gacj2010]

HEs a fraud .. not a scientist at all .. has no science degree ... studied Mechanics instead..careful what he says ... he may end up blinding you

[@UnwrittenSpade]

People are crazy it isn’t that big of a deal, I see these people saying “it’s the most life changing thing” I have seen two in my life and guess when else the sun goes away…..every single night. lol. I mean it’s cool yes of course but it’s not at all life changing

[@br1an_b]

@restlesscowboy78 The real legitimizing factor here is your lazy choice not to use proper capitalization and spelling in your comments. That doesn’t exactly help project the intelligence, precision, and professionalism I would expect from someone claiming to be a scientist.
