[@theshowoftedybears774]

Did this really happen? I've never seen a totall solar eclipse...

[@rehman.2233]

Me too just woke up saw darkness thought it was night time and slept even though I looked at the clock and it said 10:00

[@theshowoftedybears774]

@@rehman.2233 that's why I always trust my clock and/or check outside or find a hint to what time it is. Unfortunately, a big building was built in from of my house so now it's blocking the sun :(

[@fiercedezy3114]

Oh No I Feel Bad That You Missed It

[@Tampanda]

I like phenomena like this. Reminds me that there's so much more going on out there than our bitter strife here on this rock.

[@rontom7344]

I was at the campgrounds in Madras and it was so amazing, especially at how dark and cooler it got. One of the most amazing things I've ever witnessed.

[@trisia44]

The very sad thing about this is that, if people would have just shut up, they would have noticed that it became eerily quiet with no sounds of birds, and then the crickets started chirping. This is why I hate crowds. You missed the REAL show.

[@The_Essential_Review]

trisia44 Im glad you said that, makes me feel better

[@trisia44]

MondoManDevout, I can't tell if you're serious or being sarcastic. I've now seen a total and several partial eclipses, with this latest being 91% of totality, and even the quiet partial is better than this fiasco. It's a phenomenal video, but the people ruined the overall "awe", in my opinion.

[@JishNolan]

For me being in Madras today, the crowd actual added to it. For that one, 2-minute moment, everybody was united and experiencing the magic together. Through the yelling and cheering, you can really feel the energy of all those humans connecting together. Now, this was my first total eclipse, so I don't know what it would have been like silent, but the crowd definitely helped for me.

[@trisia44]

Joshua Nolan, thank you for your comment. I suppose I understand what you're saying, considering how divided our country is right now. But the thing is, it just seems to me to be as "united" as any musical concert that happens somewhere every day. You can get that experience anywhere, but this experience of silence was once in a lifetime for most people.

[@JishNolan]

I mean, yes, I want to experience the silence too, but the Madras Solartown was right next to a highway, so even if we were silent we wouldn't have heard the birds no matter what. Maybe the next one in 7 years will be good, watching from like Vermont or something. But honestly, people couldn't help themselves. It's so awe-inspiring and magical you can't help but yell out and that's why it was fine for me, it affirmed that what I was seeing was real and not a dream, that it was really happening and everybody there saw it too. It was so beautiful and incredible it brought tears to my eyes, and I now see why people get addicted to chasing eclipses. I want to experience that complete and utter awe again.

[@danieldosen5260]

I was in Woodburn, OR - and would say this video does it justice! Comes pretty close to what it felt like out there. What was astonishing to me was how white the last light was (compared to the typical orange sun)... That and how the sun's light seemed really 'sharp edged' - like it was coming from multiple LEDs in a flashlight...

[@astronomer-0754]

You are so lucky that I didn't even got the chance to see the total solar eclipse. But that doesn't I live in the U.S.

[@curtiskjobech8198]

In Oregon this is what you saw,?

[@reckbomb82]

I'm glad you took this very spectacular video. I saw the eclipse in Salem, and while no video I've found so far can really do the experience justice, this has come pretty damn close. Thanks for giving me a way to relive the experience.

[@brianspruill5424]

Drove up from Reno to see it. Parked on a side road, off the main highway, in between Madras and Redmond. So many different things to experience when you actually witness it in person.

[@lifestyleevents3068]

[@oiuwaef]

Wait... did i just damage my eyes by watching this without safety glasses!!

[@pilagirlrocks]

I traveled from southern California up to Madras, Oregon. It was a long drive, my mom drove the whole 11 or 12 hours it took to get there like a champ, we hit no traffic while getting there & made it 30 mins before totality. It was something i'll remember for the rest of my life. Absolutely awe inspiring. I wouldnt have been able to do it if my mom hadn't had pity on me. Knowing how much I wanted to go see it but didn't have a car that would make it, she told me we could go in her car. I will forever be thankful to her for doing that. It turned out to be pretty remarkable so she was glad to have made the trip with me. She said had I not wanted to go so badly it never would have occurred for her to go drive up there & see it. A once in a lifetime event that you never forget, even my 16 year old son who wasn't to excited about the long drive thought it was cooler than he thought it would be, now he has a tale he can tell his grandchildren... So if you ever have a chance to see one people, do it, don't hesitate, move mountains if you have to it's "totally" worth it

[@user-vu7us9sw9i]

So the moon can move, stop for a few minutes, and move again?

[@watsisname]

No. The Moon is moving at nearly constant speed in front of the Sun throughout the eclipse. It takes a little over an hour for the Moon to fully cover the Sun, and then since the Moon appears very slightly larger, it takes about 2 minutes before the Sun reappears on the other side.

[@satan1920]

Can someone explain to me why does the corona appear white even though the sun appears yellowish

[@mikeyrobloxmore374]

Satan The Sun is white. But due to the hydrogen and other gases together it appears yellow. The Corona is white because the Moon covered every bit of the sun for about 1m 30s. So theres no light to hit light anymore around the edge (if you know what I mean,) So it appears neutral -White.-

[@OppositeofHATE7]

Satan the sun is like a billion times hotter and brighter than the corona, which is why we can't see it any other time than when the sun is blocked. The yellow we perceive is from the light passing through earth's atmosphere and our eyes

[@satan1920]
