Simple concept, achieved perfectly.

[@bacop001]

So well observed, the sounds are spot on, another amazing machine.

I'm headed back to London in June for the first time since Covid started and can't wait to visit the museum!!!

I like how you even managed to get the "halo" effect once the moon had covered the sun. Nice touch!

[@remejas]

I ain't see no halo

[@Dave5400]

@@remejas 0:54 You can't see the slightly blurred ring of white light around the "moon"?

[@remejas]

@@Dave5400 I can see it, but it is far from halo. I was expecting to see it and was disappointed .

@@remejas Sorry you need a little bit more imagination than what you originally came with

[@remejas]

@@freezEware with better imagination I would not need this machine. I could just close my eyes and imagine whatever I want.

That’s exactly how it is, having witnessed two in my lifetime.

[@maxasaurus3008]

Wish I could visit and stuff some quarters in all those beautiful machines, it’s on my bucket list!

[@RedSiegfried]

I'm surprised the little kid didn't cry. All those animal sounds were slightly disturbing!

[@wktodd]

That's actually quite realistic 8-)

[@ProfSimonHolland]

wonderful

[@twobob]

The harshest possible critic approved. What more is there?

[@willofirony]

I have always wanted to see a total eclipse. Not just to see the gradual reduction of sunlight and the creeping shadow (though they will do for starters). It is the brief period of total darkness, that the human race fails to anticipate by switching all the lights on . I am given to understand that, even in urban areas that is no limit to the stars that can be seen.

Great! Thanks!

[@mueffe1357]

An iron maiden but for simulating an eclipse.

[@phonotical]

If you give the magic all away, less people will go use the machines!

[@BlankBrain]

Well thanks. Now I'm blind.

[@Boraxo]

The 'Shorts' are getting a bit absurd. Please stop.

[@edwardparker760]

What is your problem?

[@NB1980]

Then don't watch them.
