Eclipse Timelapse (August 21, 2017) + Fascinating Eclipse Facts

[@TodayIFoundOut]

Special thanks to my nephew N Squared kzbin.info/door/30-LaHNkzaeGdlvy42rKyw for contributing footage as my camera crapped out on the second half of this and refused to focus or get the lighting right regardless of my manual tweaking of the settings. :-)

[@BernadettesP0ST]

Today I Found Out 😄🔭so AMAZING

[@nathanwaltrip7220]

For me, a once in a lifetime experience was blocked by storm clouds :'( But at least I see a rainbow

[@howlmao]

Nathaniel Waltrip naw they happen a lot more often now lol dw ull see another one ive seen like 2 or 3

[@tsiongebre8397]

Nathaniel Waltrip Same Las Vegas decided it was a great day to start raining

[@sisbrawny]

I only got to see a partial eclipse and used some old welding goggles. I took out the lenses of two pairs and saw the printed strength of A.I-5HG on one, and UPH-11 on another. I read online that layering the glass gives the recommended strength of 14+ by NASA (15 in this case based on what I've read). Is this true or did I really fry my eye balls permanently?

[@AndeePandCompany]

I just watched this with the volume off and it was fantastic!!!

[@markwelschmeyer2426]

lol

[@stnicholas54]

Good thinking, Batman !

[@micahphilson]

5:37 Whoa, holy cow, I missed that part of the eclipse, where the sun and moon suddenly flew around like startled gnats!

[@TodayIFoundOut]

Ha! I missed that part in the editing. Every time we had to move the camera (which was about every ten minutes) we there was a bit of that. I thought I cut them all out. In my defense, I was editing this on the fly sitting in the middle of a hay field and could barely see my tiny laptop screen because of how sunny it was. :-)

[@terrancebrown87]

I love how each side just dropped their weapons and were like "yeah, were not fighting anymore"

[@faeoori]

Terrance Brown Even if you understand the science, seeing it in person is awe inspiring. Where I was, the whole crowd went silent. You could see the stars at totality. I can only imagine what it must have been like for those soldiers so long ago!

[@sourcedrop7624]

saw my first total eclipse today. it was cool. i was a bit underwhelmed by it due to the over hype all over the interwebs, but i will still note it as a very significant event in my life.

[@lsdzheeusi]

Thanks Daven! Didn't expect something this topical, what a pleasant surprise!

[@TodayIFoundOut]

You're very welcome. :-) Produced and uploaded this one from the middle of a hay field :-)

[@19lamborghini92]

Oh my gosh thank you! And Daven presenting? That's like a Cherry on top you guys, thanks

[@TodayIFoundOut]

Thanks!

[@vickievegas1837]

This is the BEST video David has done! His voice is usually more fast and high pitch. The information is AMAZING!!! Love this video!!!

[@justanotherintrovert1012]

watched it all day, it was awesome

[@_Super_Hans_]

No you didn't

[@taylorcompton5085]

Darksamich 11 it lasted from 11 to 3 in Missouri.

[@justanotherintrovert1012]

yes I did

[@justanotherintrovert1012]

well, most of the day

[@JoelHudson]

Weekend Randomizer oh those after images. You were told to use (eye) protection!

[@Mr.Chick3n]

I got to see this in person as I live right on the line of totality. It was amazingly beautiful. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

[@TodayIFoundOut]

The totality was ridiculously amazing. I expected it to be cool, but not that awesome. :-)

[@VieraTail]

It was about a 2 hour drive to reach totality for me. It was absolutely the most amazing and humbling thing I have seen in my entire life. An older woman that came with us to see it for the first time also claimed that it was also the most beautiful thing she had ever witnessed aside from the birth of her children. Truly an experience I will never forget.

[@eugenetswong]

Thanks, Daven! I was surprised at how dim it got in Canada. I work outdoors, and kept wanting to take my sunglasses off, only to realize that I didn't wear any. It eventually dawned on me that it must have been due to the eclipse.

[@xenialafleur]

I drove 200 miles to see the eclipse. It was well worth the trip.

[@PhilFeedback]

Pretty Cool video, thanks for posting this video. My wife and I watched the Eclipse from our front yard. Great experience.

[@nesirsitsir]

That drive back up I-77 today sucked ass. But it was totality worth it.

[@immieziemer1674]

take the back roads

[@MrMaggidaggi]

Immie Ziemer you'll never know if you don't go

[@micahphilson]

Luckies. It was covered in clouds for the beginning, though we did catch glimpses through them regularly, and during the totality, it was covered just perfectly, though the beautiful area we were in was amazing to watch get super dark and super light again quickly. Though after totality was just fine for us. I mean, overall, it was a great experience and makes me just want to see the next totality even more, so I'm not really mad at the clouds.

[@stephenschiffman5940]

Unforuntately, it was way too overcast for me to see it. To add insult to injury, it's clear skies now.

[@_Super_Hans_]

There's a jetstream of bullshit coming out of your mouth my friend

[@Textile_Courtesan]

Having just observed my first totality solar eclipse but a few hours ago, this video was not only educational but entertaining.

[@remibrooks5994]

I ditched school to see the total solar eclipse. Totally worth it.

[@ashknoecklein]

Great job as usual, Daven!

[@TodayIFoundOut]

Thanks!

[@aleblanc3547]

We drove all night to see the eclipse in person and it was worth every mile (both ways!)

[@johnaayyy3424]

Great job Davin!

[@TodayIFoundOut]

Thanks!

[@nicholi8933]

When I bought my glasses for the eclipse it came with a book that told most of this information in a more general way. The far in depth information was fantastic.

[@mjvalles00]

Good job Daven. I really enjoyed the video and your presentation. Unfortunately, from Chicago we only got to see a partial eclipse (87%) but it was still really cool!

[@BrianH1313]

All I had to do was walk out my front door and look up to see the eclipse and watch as it became a total solar eclipse. Nice vid.

[@rud]

A solar eclipse, the cosmic ballet,, goes on.

[@DuluthTW]

Very interesting and relevant. Thanks for sharing!

[@villaglessvillager9630]

I watched this eclipse happen. Amazing.

[@ZicajosProductions]

Great video! Just for reference, make sure you lube up the camera stand or something because I can tell when you move it that it needed some force.

[@goldenknight578]

After about a week's worth of rain and thunderstorms, I was lucky that the skies decided to clear up in time for me to watch the eclipse. The funny thing was telling my neighbors that it was actually my second solar eclipse because the first one I remember was in the late 80's/early 90's when I was living in Seattle. (Turns out, it happened in 1990.)

[@IIGrayfoxII]

An Eclipse, The Cosmic Ballet Goes On

[@That_Guy42]

Thank you guys very much for this. I couldn't make the 6 hour drive to an area with totality and on top of that had to get to work a bit before the greatest amount of the sun was covered where I live.

[@TodayIFoundOut]

You're welcome :-)

[@embite1027]

He can predict exactly when lunar eclipses will occur, yet he still thought he landed in India.

[@thema1998]

Today was the *2* year anniversary of when you uploaded this video. 🤓 EDIT- 8:20 P.M.: *finishes video 13 minutes later* I was so busy listening to the facts that I wasn't paying attention to the eclipse timelapse.

[@OnAhRoll777]

Do I need to put on shades for this video???

[@jimbowimbo3796]

RealVet YES

[@TS-bh7hn]

ALL HAIL THE GREAT AMERICAN ECLIPSE.

[@StevenSmith6942_]

I live in Middle Tennessee you should have seen it for real from the front porch oh dude it was so cool...

[@pat232000]

It was only a partial solar eclipse in my country, but it was pretty cool seeing the sun as a crescent

[@TomsBackyardWorkshop]

Unfortunately some clouds blocked my view of the eclipse much of the time. But They did clear enough for me to get an obstructed view at about the time it was at his maximum. IT was only a partial eclipse in my area but I was in grade school the last time I saw a solar eclipse also partial. Someday I hope to see a total eclipse.

[@avlisk]

Does anyone here know whether the 2 engines on a passenger jet spin in the same direction or in opposite directions? Thanks.

[@louiswouters71]

I studied aerospace engineering, but I don't know 100%. Pretty sure they spin the same directiont hough. Otherwise a whole lot of parts would need two differnt machines to manufacture them. Why this question?

[@avlisk]

I'm studying 9/11 and am curious about how the vortices come off the engines.

[@ajsavekin]

I believe they spin in the same direction.

[@avlisk]

That's what I always thought, too, until I saw a video which showed one vortex going clockwise and the other going counter-clockwise as a jet passed through clouds. That got me wondering if we could use that fact to put to rest some of the speculation as to what planes actually hit the WTC towers.

[@lsdzheeusi]

avlisk same direction. There are thousands of parts in a jet engine, which are already incredibly expensive. Check out "AgentJayZ" KZbin channel, he's a jet engine mechanic and goes into impressive detail, and even answered this question in particular recently.

[@navigatorofnone]

Awesome!!!

[@JobBouwman]

Why does your VOICE increase in PITCH during every THIRD word?

[@theoriginalkeepercreek]

Can someone explain why a friend who has sunflowers that followed the sun before the Eclipse no longer follow the sun ? Has the light frequencies changed??

[@KarlFFF]

This video is frustrating... Half the time I get mesmerized by the eclipse and stop listening to Dave the other half I listen so intensely to Dave that I forget to look at the eclipse... :)

[@NymphetaminexXxGrrrl]

I had proper welding lens and everything, but like always i managed to forget the eclipse.. I swear anytime something amazing is supposed to happen, it's like oh that was today? Well at least i'm not blind?

[@ZomBeeNature]

I watched the Totality in Gallatin, Tennessee 21August2017 with no cloud interference! 😃😃😃😃😃 My pictures aren't like yours since I used a cell phone, but I got the darkening of Totality and then it looks like an eye on the sky! And then the SUDDEN brightening when it ended! 😃😃😃😃😃 I need to clip off some of the video but it will be unique!!!!! 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃

[@FlexibleGames]

awesome!

[@sabour2400]

👌🙌👏🙌👋🖐🖖🖐🤞✌️ that's for all of the people that got blind during the eclipse

[@seabb]

I live in Nevada, which is in a desert and it hardly ever rains, but of course it just had to be cloudy today. 😔 We couldn't get to see the eclipse.

[@_Super_Hans_]

Simon Whistler should have presented this one since his head looks like the moon

[@DalgonaC]

It was very beautiful. Unfortunately Indiana didn't get the totality, but it did cover till a sliver. Plus my friend got a great picture of the crescent moon shadows under a tree.

[@Fawxd]

can you do an episode on " why we cant look at a solar eclipse directly with our naked eye?"

[@5HlNOBI]

The moon is always getting in the way. Let's get rid of it.

[@Pining_for_the_fjords]

5HINOBI That's lunacy, or lunacide.

[@yourhandlehere1]

You're both a couple of lunartics. Orbit you have a sphere of the orb known. Get over it. The cow did. Sorry...that was cheesy.

[@Pining_for_the_fjords]

IcantSignIn Your comment came as a ray of sunlight and made me wiser by astronomical proportions. It completely eclipsed all of my previous wisdom.

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

Conway79 No wonder the name's "IcantSignIn"...

[@yourhandlehere1]

Glad you took it in the light way, I didn't moon to offend anyone.

[@historyfanatic2203]

For anyone who missed the eclipse of 2017. It was like seeing the Eye of God looking down from Heaven. if you only saw a partial eclipse, try to see the next total one in seven years. It's a religious experience. The total eclipse is so much more impressive than the partial. the earth turns to night, the stars come out (not all of them), it gets noticeably cooler, crickets begin to chirp, and the diamond ring is amazing. I 'm hooked. I had a ball. the family I was with couldn't stop talking about it. Seven years is nothing. so try to see it. The eclipse was incredible, words can't do it justice.

[@onedollasnake]

im pretty excited for the 2024 one i plan to travel to a place where I get 4:26

[@abrar1khan1]

So you're saying the Indians ancestors never knew about solar and lunar eclipse. Sounds hard to believe since the natives from Aztec had all these pretty spot on.

[@SillhouetteSonata]

They believed they were religious phenomenons caused by the gods

[@theendurance]

They were retards that believed in magic fairy tales

[@Electro_Katarina]

Glomo this logic works with all religions

[@petergray2712]

abrar khan The Arawaks lacked advanced astronomic knowledge.

[@maremacd]

abrar khan Yeah. They had never seen one before?

[@tamarariveracolon3759]

Daveeen! ♡

[@Grim2]

Wait a minute... exactly how did Columbus communicate with the natives?!

[@HaydenPlaysGames]

i realised the eclipse had started and didnt want to miss it. I realised that the eclipse wouldnt last and realising that just two days before when i looked at a light through a balloon i could see its features clear as day, litterally, despite the normal glare from a light bulb. I figured this principle would work and testing it briefly i was able to then share the eclipse with my girlfriend and brother thanks to a quick thought on how stuff works, it was awesome. its silly but its a story i think id pass on to my kids about remembering what you learn. anyway it was pretty funny how people thought id miss out on the eclipse when all it took was a thin stretched piece of rubber fixed with air in inside to see the perfect eclipsein its completeness. on the otherhand i feel like everyone else thought i was an idiot and i feel like theyre the idiots, i got to see it for free. everyone else bought the glasses for 5$. lol

[@tohopes]

"longer than one could maximally observe the eclipse on the ground" Well, unless one were riding the Hyperloop.

[@hashington4983]

I was really salty when it happened. A big cloud decided to roll in and stick around for the hours of the eclipse. And no I couldnt move because I was at work. We were allowed to try to look at it but couldn't because of the clouds...

[@BunnyKitKat]

Do other languages have an equivalent to the ABC song?

[@MrMaggidaggi]

Norway does

[@volimNestea]

BunnyKitKat Not all, but I imagine most do recite their version of the alphabet. It's certainly the case with every language I ever studied.

[@alibobble]

"Supplying them with food and supplies" C'mon Daven, you're the writer! That was a pretty redundant and unimaginative way of saying that.

[@TodayIFoundOut]

That was actually just a slip on my part and I didn't have the ability to re-record it when I was sitting in a field editing the audio and video. :-)

[@alibobble]

Today I Found Out Ha ha ha, you are absolved of your crimes ;)

[@jonathanrouse]

I hope the native americans had bought their solar eclipse viewing glasses from their local retailer before they stared at the sun.

[@_Allen_]

카메라가 흔들리는걸까? 아님 달이 흔들리는걸까???? Is the camera shaking? Or is the moon shaking?

[@西撒尜尜想想]

good!

[@itsnotyouitsme_]

This is awful what Columbus did, what a cruel thing to do..they were terrified. Just sad.

[@cindymartin7189]

Tracy Smith I can't tell if ur serious or not

[@brickman409]

Tracy Smith Evil? Maybe. Brilliant? Definitely

[@pillcosby546]

Nex S Putting your personal feelings aside, though, he was a brilliant explorer.

[@faeoori]

LOCO Fiesta someone needs to watch some Adam Ruins Everything... He thought that the world was shaped like a pear, such "brilliance".

[@lukewetzel6161]

Alex Andrews Adam ruins everything is cancer

[@MiguelRPD]

I need a quicker time lapse.

[@whoc4r3s117]

6:01 money shot

[@bumetyanuba610]

I didn't know about the eclipse

[@autotechxbox163]

3:34 is a smiley face. 7:02 is a sad face.

[@smpark12]

I got an android oreo commercial... perfect for eclipse, but how much did they have to pay oreo?!

[@xxGwoodxx]

I like how the sun was a timer

[@dirty_dan75158]

I woke up 3 hours after the eclipse happened.....smh

[@beymaster531]

6:02 for the Corona

[@dedrakuhn6103]

zenaphanes, pleanaphanes,leanaphanes, fleezaphanes,weenaanes, ulaphanes, plugzaphanes, ruinzaphanes, the more this guy talked about these mostly unknown groups, the more that i felt my eyes glass over. silence or a simpler version would have helped.

[@TheOutZZ]

Dedra Kuhn Never heard of "Turn your fricking volume down?".

[@ThreeReichsandYoureOut]

We had cloud cover for literally seconds right as totality started. Sucks.

[@AdxmAmazingGaming]

I saw it!

[@kakyoukuzuki]

Man, if only the audio is LOUDER!!!

[@macsnafu]

So, the old eclipse trick actually had a historical precedent?

[@jordillach3222]

If you want to experience 4 and a half minutes of totality, more than two minutes longer than in this event, don't forget to come to Chile for the next total eclipse on the 2nd of July 2019!

[@onedollasnake]

And April 2024 I’m gonna get 4:26 of totality for the place I’m seeing it from or plan to as of now

[@binglemansachs4187]

Dude i don't wanna be mean cause he's well informed and seems like a smart guy but that voice is literally hard to listen to. something about it makes my eardrums uncomfortable.

[@TheMagpyeTrader]

Not what Columbus and and his crew needed, what they WANTED. Also, he made no effort to trade with the natives. He demanded food, water, building supplies, women and gold.

[@youmaycallmeken]

So that's where Mark Twain got the idea from that he used in "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court".

[@TodayIFoundOut]

That's the rumor, though if memory serves nobody actually knows for sure if that was the inspiration for the story.

[@gailraby1722]

I remember when things like this were considered interesting..

[@polychats5990]

Eclipse at 6:02

[@apex9580]

I fell asleep through the eclipse

[@RoryStarr]

I'm not sure who is to blame for this, but not one of those Greek names was anywhere near an accepted pronunciation. Of course, they come from a dead language, so they may be correct, but it's not how I've ever heard anyone pronounce them.

[@TodayIFoundOut]

If I learned anything from my many classes in Latin and Ancient Greek in college it's that nobody knows how they pronounced those names. ;-) I did, however, look up the accepted pronunciations, of which there were several, and I just picked one for each.

[@aperson22222]

What a fucking waste! The one rainy day all month! This is the second time that's happened to me, too.

[@tohopes]

try being taller.

[@SuperJhon360]

aperson22222 buy a drone and break the law and fly it past the clouds.

[@mxyk.official]

PRAISE THE SUN

[@elikarpinski2460]

Hmmm... In that first story don't you mean a lunar eclipse? You said take away the moon, and you said "when the moon leaves the earth's shadow."

[@TodayIFoundOut]

Yes that was referring to a lunar eclipse.

[@ClusterFunk99]

Siiva epic epoc

[@vanscoyoc]

Was Columbus a Central Banker? Wow.

[@travisbalingit3332]

Where was this eclipse?

[@markjordansenoron5879]

Seishirō Tsugumi. Antarctica

[@haadytariq-shuaib6531]

USA

[@_Super_Hans_]

The moon

[@meltybunii]

Seishirō Tsugumi. The sky

[@acctadmin4073]

The heart

[@brug5814]

i didn't even get to see the eclipse, the fucking clouds covered to whole sky

[@petergray2712]

Today I Found Out..... The name Hollywood is a shorthand invocation of the glamour, dignity and power that is the American film industry. Which makes very little sense historically. During its entire history, the small community was only host to a single movie studio out of the more than twenty based in the Los Angeles area, and that studio had to operate under very strict local ordinances. So how did Hollywood, a rather unglamorous, politically conservative small farming community in the 1920s, become the code name of cinematic glory?

[@niunot8868]

Did any1 listen to what he said, is this accurate lol ? I loved it in a way

[@williamfroh6137]

i was so excited to see the eclipse but the moon got in the way and i couldn't see the sun. bad moon

[@imagedezach]

THA-les xe-NO-pha-nes you know you can find the pronunciation of all the greek ppl ever on wikipedia, right?

[@Tautolonaut]

I think that first story might be made up after the fact. Why would people who live outdoors so much be unfamiliar with eclipses?

[@TodayIFoundOut]

It wouldn't matter if one had seen one before. These were matters of the gods and Columbus essentially said his god was more powerful than theirs and would now blot out the moon, and then it happened.

[@vickievegas1837]

Why doesn’t the Concord fly across the Atlantic anymore? What is the history of the Concord? Was it only for the Rich?
