I live in southern NH and drove north to Pittsburg, NH to see it. Literally one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen. Being able to see solar plasma jets peeking out behind the moon with my own unaided eyes and being able to see the corona of the sun was breathtaking. Totality lasted about 3 minutes and it went way too fast!!! I was so bummed out when it was over but it was an experience I will never forget. I’m 24, and I had never seen one before, so to say my mind was blown is an understatement. On top of that, it was a beautiful, perfectly clear day without a singular cloud in sight I found a nice, quiet, small parking lot with only around 15 people or so, and hearing the collective cheers and gasps as totality occurred only added to the experience. I’m so glad I was able to catch this amazing event, as the next one in America won’t be until 2044!!
I drove from Toronto to Eastern Ontario and it was glorious... during totality we took off our eclipse glasses and wow, it was so crisp... it was so beautiful... the whitest white you ever saw, and those ruby prominences were stunning!!!
it's called baily's beads effect. you can google it to find out more :)
You might appreciate the videos on my channel of the eclipse!
Nice. Fire flareing off the edges was cool.

These timelapes would look SO MUCH BETTER if people took the time to align them. Yeah, it takes a LOT OF TIME to do this, but so well worth it!
I watched the eclipse in Mena, Arkansas, and you could see that red flare with the naked eye pretty clearly.It looked kind of like a bright red dot right along the edge of the moon in the corona.
Same in northern Ohio
I was in Highland Arkansas 😊
I tried filming it from Wilburn, Arkansas, but it's nothing like just being in the moment for yourself to view it.
That southern prominence was bright in my amateur telescope!
Best I've seen of the 2024 Eclipse ... Well done & ty
I was in Mason too. glad to see all 3 mins and 45 seconds. I was right across from the Dairy Queen. Beautiful footage! seeing the prominences with the naked eye is just other worldly! 🤩😍🤩
Superb!
Nice prominences
Is this bit a protuberance?
I am north of Austin, TX. The flare or prominence located at the 5 o’clock position during totality seemed a lot bigger than photos and glowed. After several confirmations from a neighborhood FaceBook that it was seen, all had seen but none had seen photos. I discussed filters but photographers said they were not the reason we could not see a representation of what we saw. At this point, my best guess is now that though the sky appeared as if it had cleared just before totality there might have been very thin clouds between our viewing point and the eclipse that remained for those 3+ minutes and maybe illuminated that particular light. I am sad not to see a photo of that beautiful phenomenon but maybe makes our experience a little more unique, which after all is part of our universe. Anybody have other ideas? (I made a size representation with a water bottle cap and a flat drain stopper but it looks rather childish.)
The same phenomenon that you described was visible in Atkins, AR. I could not believe how bright it was to the naked eye, and, briefly in binoculars before the end of the eclipse. I think the mind can create a much better continuum of brightness than digital imagery, which just maxes out and does not get any brighter, unlike the brain, which can register/capture a much larger contrast between the dark, the regular, the bright, and the much brighter. It was truly spectacular!
@@kenlassman3725 I also found out that the dust microns were high that day, air quality alert even … we have quarries all around our neighborhood. My scientist stepson explained something about what I suggested being possible, because of red producing shorter light waves and other things I did not quite understand. The flare would be from the sun but as we looked at image, either very thin clouds or dust made the image appear larger and glowing. So this dust gives us asthma but also produces a unique image for our neighbors and myself! I’ll chose that theory. Just wish I had a photo!
deborah, thank you for saying. i was in edinburgh, indiana and saw the same thing. in addition to the 5oclock flare, the background sky had a deeper blue than deep blue approaching black but not really black quality to it that i haven't seen either. as ken implies, the brain is just better at interpreting these things
Is it time to rekindle the First Flame again?
I was a little disappointed, you didn’t show Uranus.
wow.. god really is amazing...
so that's why when i go out it's dark as hell i didn't know why then i searched and found it's solar eclispe
Lol is this Patrick star?
That's right, the "moon" stopped right in the middle, then started moving again. WTF man. We all saw it. Impossible that it was the moon.
I shot about 164 photos in 8K raw format of the eclipse, but haven't had time to adjust them and line them up yet. I did insert a lower quality version inside my roadtrip timelapse right here th-cam.com/video/zeDkA9jL8M8/w-d-xo.html

When is next solar eclipse coming
2044
It is interesting that when “solar eclipse” happens the moon never gets closer to us (bigger) or farther from us (smaller) and closer to the sun... it is interesting that every time the moon appears to be perfectly the same size as the sun...
but we know that there are times when either the sun or the moon appears larger or even smaller than usual - i.e. closer or further away from the earth, but never when a solar eclipse occurs. How would you explain this?
A total eclipse occurs only when the moon is close to its minimum distance from the earth, making it appear large enough to completely block the sun. In 2024 the moon was a little closer than during the 2017 eclipse. That differnce wasn't obvious when looking at the eclipse - the moon still appeared very close in size to the sun - but it meant that the path of totality was wider in 2024 because of the larger shadow from the closer moon. When the moon is too farth from the earth to completely block the sun, an "annular" or "ring of fire" eclipse can happen. One was visible from the southewestern US in 2023. Like any partial eclipse, it isn't safe to look at an annular eclipse with the naked eye.
It's amazing how you skeptics will question the explained science of this stuff but show your clear ignorance on the topic, solar eclipses do occur when the moon is further in its orbit, it's called an annular eclipse. There was one last October.
Flat earth
@@dbarenski The wording of the question did have flat earth vibes, but I answered it anyway, for anyone interested in eclipses.
The moon is bigger in the sky than the sun which is why there’s an eclipse at all. If they were the exact same size the eclipse would only last an instant and the line of totality would be extremely narrow.
decent
It's not a "time-lapse" if it's regular speed.
the eclipse took several hrs….this video was 39 sec
@@siennastone5009the eclipse wasn’t several hours long, totality was 3 minutes the event that resulted in a total eclipse was several hours long, but what was being captured was not several hours, it would be cool if it was hours long tho.
I put my eclipse glasses on to watch this. You never know, I could get Covid.
The sun's corona might cause flare ups.
This comment by op gave me testicular cancer

...because eclipse?
you do realize that this has happened millions of times in the history of earth… right?
@@GDAccelerate...apparently not. And I think I figured out what he's talking about. Apparently if you have an earthquake and eclipse at around the same time...lol. The guy who explained it to me was not happy to hear that there are roughly 20000 earthquakes a year so it would be way more rare if one wasn't happening somewhere near the same time. He told me I need to find jesus. He was even less happy when I pointed out that I was never very good at those kind of games. I never found Waldo.
Ok, when does it start to get stunning?
Just Like moon painting on paper
