DemystiCon 2024 & the Solar Eclipse: Austin, Texas to Waskaganish, Quebec!

[@mikegodzina3648]

Had a lot of fun! Was so to be at Demysticon and talk to you!

[@oneeye51]

thank you sky scholar

[@sharondrury5676]

Thank you for your time and for sharing your expertise.

[@rogerfurer2273]

Thank you Dr. Robitaille. Have a great summer. I'm looking forward to your return.

[@VaultBoy1776]

This is fantastic information, many thanks!

[@UFO314159]

I travelled from California to Oden, Arkansas, which was very near the center line. The skies were clear there, and the eclipse was quite spectacular.

[@iteerrex8166]

Congratulations on the white dwarf series 👍. Have a great summer and see you in fall Dr Robitaille.

[@davidmcguinness9187]

Thanks for the video

[@tjmiller2766]

Thank you Sir. I appreciate your expertise

[@Quroxify]

It was very exciting to hear you at Demysticon. I learned a lot and met some friends there. Have a great summer.

[@JoseSilveira-newhandleforYT]

Thank you for this personal insight of the eclipse watch, Dr. Robitaille! Wishing you and your family the best holidays possible. Will return here in the fall, for more science talks.

[@keithnorris6348]

Very different but very enjoyable, I hope you and yours will have a great time doing whatever you do thank you Sky Scholar.

[@bookittyrun]

by odd circumstance, i happened to be in cleveland and was able to witness yet another total eclipse (i've seen several)... i am grateful for the opportunity to experience these. i am so glad to see a picture (in this video) of the red spot at the 6:30-7:00 position, it was clearly visible during totality (while my phone's camera was not able to capture it, i was able to take some great pictures of the corona during totality). many thanks to your channel and ben's channel, i knew what the red spot was and i could explain it to fellow eclipse observers. dr r, i am very appreciative of your continued efforts to present an "out of the box" understanding of the most impressive display of what is inside all of us... your work brings everyone closer to understanding the truth of "self"! if i need to wait several months for more confirmations, i will happily wait. (btw... i am a former licensed ham radio operator, myself). keep up the incredible work that you do! i love (and recommend) your channel to everyone who possesses a passion for truth. please, keep up the excellent work! many thanks!

[@pjgraham2211]

thank. you. have a great vacation

[@FelonyVideos]

I too watched the eclipse from Arkansas. I was totally shocked at the brilliant white-hot point of light at the moment the moon began to uncover the sun. The color temperature matched that of the surrounding stars in that brief moment. I had no idea that this is the color of the sun. No photo or spectrum could ever convey this reality to me like witnessing it myself. Now, Ive also witnessed the aurora borealis in Arkansas as well. Amazing. Sure doesn't look like a ball of gas, LOL!

[@imstevemcqueen]

We enjoyed the eclipse with our adult daughter and 3 grandchildren. Heavenly event, great memory

[@cutback443]

I'm from OhiYO! If I still lived there, I'd sneak into one or two of your lectures

[@TerranceBurney-z8j]

Have a great summer Dr. Robitaille. Cant wait to hear what you've discovered about Wolf Rayet stars and LBVs! Its going to be a another great series of real astrophysics!

[@davidnicklascarlsson]

❤✌

[@kimberleebrackley2793]

Always a pleasure, Dr.Robitaille. Those were great pics. A wonderful summer for us all. Thank you:)

[@BlackMasterRoshi]

Hooray!

[@archaicsoul4597]

The cloudy sky in the northeast was pretty bizarre but caused a neat “Smokey crystal ball” effect at totality

[@romado59]

Wanted to go but was busy showing my grandkids the eclipse.

[@bobkat1663]

Thank you for your time sir, enjoy the summer.

[@RoosKohn]

Have a great summer ❤

[@mikegodzina3648]

For what it's worth, the photo of totality attributed to me is actually not my photo. I took two but they weren't to that quality. The photo on the subsequent slide, to the right of the photo with Anastasia, is my photo, taken through an 8 in telescope with solar filter all brought by Chris Villalobos.

[@xkguy]

In Las Vegas we got an unsatisfying partial. There is nothing close to totality.

[@marywright4934]

I feel it's so important for children to experience nature not just read about it

[@tumblebugspace]

☮️❤️🐾

[@markmartens]

It is my sense that there is nothing known (in mainstream science) to explain how, when viewed from Earth, the moon so perfectly eclipses the sun. Is that right? Mark, Accidental Scientist.

[@Jueyes-vg2gb]

You have done an amazing job with Sky Scholar, I love having all these super scientific videos to throw in peoples faces. They just dont have a CLUE what the standard model actually says, once their little brain finally realizes oh you are saying the model is voodoo, I get it. It is magic, its a magic trick

[@Moment2Forever]

The astronomy clubs in my town have turf wars over the best viewing spots

[@stevenahungerford1981]

What do you think about Betelgeuse? Do you have any insight, or opinion?

[@stevenahungerford1981]

I think Betelgeuse is going to explode in October this year

[@carlubambi5541]

First time seeing this .Not getting notifications from Boob Tube

[@breezer1788]

Thank you Sir. Great work and God Bless.

[@Devast8r34]

I wish i would have know i would have drove to Austin omg

[@STØMPN-2.0]

That’s mee

[@equalizingforce2581]

Odd how the Sun is the exact size of the moon isnt it 🤐

[@williamhanna4823]

Well, it is certainly close to the same size. If it were exactly the same size the totality would have been instantaneous, unlike four minutes or so (for some observers in this case). And then there are annular eclipses where the Moon is definitely too small. An amazing coincidence, but that is all it is.

[@equalizingforce2581]

@@williamhanna4823 The odds of that being the same size despite supposedly being hundreds of millions of miles away is beyond a reasonable coincidence. The odds would be astronomical. I think they are the same size, the Corona we can see is light bending illuminating the circumference.

[@christopherwalendzak123]

Question, the 3 body problem kzbin.info/www/bejne/emmcn5qIp5mokMksi=COans5KBUvSm2HrK Haven't we observed the center of our galaxy long enough to see the rotation of several bodies ?? No black hole. They don't understand gravity. Can someone please fix thier math. Oh, please, oh, please.

[@sdhillson]

Idea for new avenue of Sky Scholar research: The light curves from distant supernova are not redshifted and time dilated due to expansion of the universe, but rather tired light + dispersion as light traverses the cosmos and travels thru the ejected debris field. I’d be happy to discuss further if you think this sounds intriguing.

[@whatdoiknowsmith]

Thank you for everything you have done.Your achievements in science are are wonderful gift to mankind Your open mindedness is infectious, after watching all your talks through the thunderbolts project and now your own channel, I'm glad your a scientist and not a lawyer. Seriously, your a freaking Jedi of science. To be able to argue with your knowledge to all my indoctrinated university friends and see the looks on their faces when confronted with the the truth is priceless. The more you can do on the dividing by zero and how it's impossible to get black holes proof would be incredibly appreciated. From Australia.
