solar eclipse this august

[Seperallis]

Also from the last state to see the eclipse. I took the video and photos from our eclipse outing and put them into a single video montage, complete with Sal's narration. The locusts started up around 2:39pm (or about the 6 minute mark in the video); the darkness descended enough that it started to look like twilight, right before night.

The entire experience is so much different being there in person to see the sun become covered by the moon, and then to view the brilliant white solar corona in the sky as it rungs the shadow of the moon. You can see pictures, you can understand the phenomena, but without being there you really can't appreciate the brilliance and majesty. It honestly looks like you can see the eye of God in the sky above you (and the toenail, too).

To fully appreciate some of it, I recommend watching full screen in 1080p. Some of the phenomena (especially the shadow bands) show up better.
