that stuff on air now I do want to point
that stuff on air now I do want to point out that there is a big difference
out that there is a big difference
out that there is a big difference between a total eclipse and a partial
between a total eclipse and a partial
between a total eclipse and a partial eclipse we are in the path of totality
eclipse we are in the path of totality
eclipse we are in the path of totality yeah this is amazing we’re right almost
yeah this is amazing we’re right almost
yeah this is amazing we’re right almost in the middle of that path of totality
in the middle of that path of totality
in the middle of that path of totality as the moon goes around the earth it
as the moon goes around the earth it
as the moon goes around the earth it casts a shadow and the shadow is pretty
casts a shadow and the shadow is pretty
casts a shadow and the shadow is pretty small it’s only about 40-plus miles
small it’s only about 40-plus miles
small it’s only about 40-plus miles across and when you have a total eclipse
across and when you have a total eclipse
across and when you have a total eclipse that shadow goes right across the
that shadow goes right across the
that shadow goes right across the Earth’s surface and that’s where we’re
Earth’s surface and that’s where we’re
Earth’s surface and that’s where we’re going to be in just a matter of minutes
going to be in just a matter of minutes
going to be in just a matter of minutes yeah I am thrilled we’re here in
yeah I am thrilled we’re here in
yeah I am thrilled we’re here in Terrebonne Oregon and right now we are
Terrebonne Oregon and right now we are
Terrebonne Oregon and right now we are in the phase of the Eclipse between what
in the phase of the Eclipse between what
in the phase of the Eclipse between what they call first and second contact we’re
they call first and second contact we’re
they call first and second contact we’re actually already in a partial eclipse
actually already in a partial eclipse
actually already in a partial eclipse and we have a live feed of that you guys
and we have a live feed of that you guys
and we have a live feed of that you guys can see what’s going on this the moon is
can see what’s going on this the moon is
can see what’s going on this the moon is already covering much of the Sun there
already covering much of the Sun there
already covering much of the Sun there and you can even see sunspots through
and you can even see sunspots through
and you can even see sunspots through this life tomatoe incredible is that all
this life tomatoe incredible is that all
this life tomatoe incredible is that all right but I do want to talk about why
right but I do want to talk about why
right but I do want to talk about why we’re here in this beautiful location
we’re here in this beautiful location
we’re here in this beautiful location which feels like it’s the middle of
which feels like it’s the middle of
which feels like it’s the middle of nowhere it’s in the middle of nature you

at night program so the whole life I was
at night program so the whole life I was involved with night sky and a fan of
involved with night sky and a fan of
involved with night sky and a fan of astronomy so it’s almost like we’re
astronomy so it’s almost like we’re
astronomy so it’s almost like we’re doing the coolest thing one could do if
doing the coolest thing one could do if
doing the coolest thing one could do if one we’re going to watch sa
one we’re going to watch sa
one we’re going to watch sa once-in-a-lifetime solar eclipse we’re
once-in-a-lifetime solar eclipse we’re
once-in-a-lifetime solar eclipse we’re going 35,000 feet in the air to watch
going 35,000 feet in the air to watch
going 35,000 feet in the air to watch the Eclipse yeah it’s a private jet are
the Eclipse yeah it’s a private jet are
the Eclipse yeah it’s a private jet are you excited yeah that’s the best place I
you excited yeah that’s the best place I
you excited yeah that’s the best place I think to see the coming shadow I’m going
think to see the coming shadow I’m going
think to see the coming shadow I’m going shadow and it’s much faster than our
shadow and it’s much faster than our
shadow and it’s much faster than our plane almost six times faster yeah it is
plane almost six times faster yeah it is
plane almost six times faster yeah it is yeah there’s no way we’re gonna keep up
yeah there’s no way we’re gonna keep up
yeah there’s no way we’re gonna keep up with it so all of those those of you are
with it so all of those those of you are
with it so all of those those of you are excited for us we’re excited too but
excited for us we’re excited too but
excited for us we’re excited too but we’re not gonna be able to go with the
we’re not gonna be able to go with the
we’re not gonna be able to go with the shadow it will pass us very quickly but
shadow it will pass us very quickly but
shadow it will pass us very quickly but we’ll still get a very unique vantage
we’ll still get a very unique vantage
we’ll still get a very unique vantage point that we’re really excited yeah I
point that we’re really excited yeah I
point that we’re really excited yeah I think we get 15 to 20 seconds more to
think we get 15 to 20 seconds more to
think we get 15 to 20 seconds more to tell by being the on the plane using the
tell by being the on the plane using the
tell by being the on the plane using the shadow so it’s slightly more than the
shadow so it’s slightly more than the
shadow so it’s slightly more than the ground but the main benefit I think it’s
ground but the main benefit I think it’s
ground but the main benefit I think it’s just to be among the first people to see
just to be among the first people to see
just to be among the first people to see it probably less than 10 minutes before
it probably less than 10 minutes before
it probably less than 10 minutes before the others on the Lincoln beach I love
the others on the Lincoln beach I love
the others on the Lincoln beach I love it I love it yeah I think that’s true
it I love it yeah I think that’s true
it I love it yeah I think that’s true right getting to see it early is always
right getting to see it early is always
right getting to see it early is always fun I would watch it at any time but if
fun I would watch it at any time but if
fun I would watch it at any time but if why should a 35,000 feet I will every
why should a 35,000 feet I will every
why should a 35,000 feet I will every eclipse is different depending on the
eclipse is different depending on the
eclipse is different depending on the ambient environment that we were seeing
ambient environment that we were seeing
ambient environment that we were seeing it could be with some clouds reflection
it could be with some clouds reflection
it could be with some clouds reflection of the clouds colors in the clouds it
of the clouds colors in the clouds it
of the clouds colors in the clouds it could be the shadow coming in could be
could be the shadow coming in could be
could be the shadow coming in could be people and their emotional reaction so
people and their emotional reaction so
people and their emotional reaction so I’m going to include many of those in
I’m going to include many of those in
I’m going to include many of those in the opportunity we are going to have on
the opportunity we are going to have on
the opportunity we are going to have on the plane
the plane
the plane we have guests and probably it’s their
we have guests and probably it’s their
we have guests and probably it’s their first total solar eclipse so I’m going
first total solar eclipse so I’m going
first total solar eclipse so I’m going to capture those emotions as well as
to capture those emotions as well as
to capture those emotions as well as close-up of Eclipse as I said you know
close-up of Eclipse as I said you know
close-up of Eclipse as I said you know there’s streamers coming out of the
there’s streamers coming out of the
there’s streamers coming out of the solar corona are better visible from our
solar corona are better visible from our
solar corona are better visible from our office here but my main aim would be to
office here but my main aim would be to
office here but my main aim would be to capture this shadow coming especially
capture this shadow coming especially
capture this shadow coming especially when you’re up in the air you see the
when you’re up in the air you see the
when you’re up in the air you see the cone of the shadow much more clear than
cone of the shadow much more clear than
cone of the shadow much more clear than being on the ground so all these
being on the ground so all these
being on the ground so all these together I think it will be a very
together I think it will be a very
together I think it will be a very diverse total solar eclipse for me so
diverse total solar eclipse for me so
diverse total solar eclipse for me so the next time you see us we’ll be 35,000
the next time you see us we’ll be 35,000
the next time you see us we’ll be 35,000 feet up looking directly near the Sun
feet up looking directly near the Sun
feet up looking directly near the Sun with our protective glasses on we hope
with our protective glasses on we hope
with our protective glasses on we hope wherever you are you get a chance to
wherever you are you get a chance to
wherever you are you get a chance to watch it or experience it in some way
watch it or experience it in some way
watch it or experience it in some way it’ll be fun
it’ll be fun
it’ll be fun see you soon oh my gosh so so excited
see you soon oh my gosh so so excited
see you soon oh my gosh so so excited I’m really jealous they will have
I’m really jealous they will have
I’m really jealous they will have bragging rights they will absolutely
bragging rights they will absolutely
bragging rights they will absolutely have bragging rights
have bragging rights
have bragging rights okay so let’s recap a little bit of what
okay so let’s recap a little bit of what
okay so let’s recap a little bit of what they mentioned during a solar eclipse
they mentioned during a solar eclipse
they mentioned during a solar eclipse it’s really quite a simple concept it’s
it’s really quite a simple concept it’s
it’s really quite a simple concept it’s that the moon is in front of the Sun we
that the moon is in front of the Sun we
that the moon is in front of the Sun we happen to be in that path which is
happen to be in that path which is
happen to be in that path which is there’s a fun word for this it’s called
there’s a fun word for this it’s called
there’s a fun word for this it’s called CICIG II this is gee I always say syzygy
CICIG II this is gee I always say syzygy
CICIG II this is gee I always say syzygy and that’s when the planetary bodies
and that’s when the planetary bodies
and that’s when the planetary bodies align so perfectly and most of America
align so perfectly and most of America
align so perfectly and most of America is actually in what they call the
is actually in what they call the
is actually in what they call the penumbral shadow which is the almost
penumbral shadow which is the almost
penumbral shadow which is the almost umbral shadow the large shadow that’s
umbral shadow the large shadow that’s
umbral shadow the large shadow that’s cast out and that happens during a
cast out and that happens during a
cast out and that happens during a partial eclipse most of America is in a
partial eclipse most of America is in a
partial eclipse most of America is in a partial eclipse right there’s a skinny
partial eclipse right there’s a skinny
partial eclipse right there’s a skinny line you said earlier 40 plus miles
line you said earlier 40 plus miles
line you said earlier 40 plus miles across that is the totality line where
across that is the totality line where
across that is the totality line where you’ll be able to see the Sun or the Sun
you’ll be able to see the Sun or the Sun
you’ll be able to see the Sun or the Sun be completely blocked by the moon that’s
be completely blocked by the moon that’s
be completely blocked by the moon that’s right now these different phases require
right now these different phases require
right now these different phases require different types of protection so maybe
different types of protection so maybe
different types of protection so maybe we should do it a quicksave they do
we should do it a quicksave they do
we should do it a quicksave they do we’ll do a demonstration
we’ll do a demonstration
we’ll do a demonstration don’t do this unless you have some
don’t do this unless you have some
don’t do this unless you have some approved glasses on but I’m gonna
approved glasses on but I’m gonna
approved glasses on but I’m gonna actually look at the Sun with the
actually look at the Sun with the
actually look at the Sun with the approved glasses and you can see it’s
approved glasses and you can see it’s
approved glasses and you can see it’s amazing you can see the moon has taken a
amazing you can see the moon has taken a
amazing you can see the moon has taken a significant bite out of the Sun right I
significant bite out of the Sun right I
significant bite out of the Sun right I have to just point out real quick that
have to just point out real quick that
have to just point out real quick that my safety glasses are a little yes I’m
my safety glasses are a little yes I’m
my safety glasses are a little yes I’m losing all the bragging rights here and
losing all the bragging rights here and
losing all the bragging rights here and we should mention that they need to be
we should mention that they need to be
we should mention that they need to be ISO certified glasses there are some
ISO certified glasses there are some
ISO certified glasses there are some fakes out there which is a huge bummer
fakes out there which is a huge bummer
fakes out there which is a huge bummer why would somebody do that these are not
why would somebody do that these are not
why would somebody do that these are not these are not normal sunglasses yeah
these are not normal sunglasses yeah
these are not normal sunglasses yeah yeah yeah so and also when you’re in a
yeah yeah so and also when you’re in a
yeah yeah so and also when you’re in a partial eclipse it doesn’t make the Sun
partial eclipse it doesn’t make the Sun
partial eclipse it doesn’t make the Sun any worse it’s not more dangerous than
any worse it’s not more dangerous than
any worse it’s not more dangerous than it is on any day but on a normal day
it is on any day but on a normal day
it is on any day but on a normal day you’re not gonna stare at the Sun and
you’re not gonna stare at the Sun and
you’re not gonna stare at the Sun and when there’s an eclipse you’re
when there’s an eclipse you’re
when there’s an eclipse you’re interested to see what’s going on up
interested to see what’s going on up
interested to see what’s going on up there that’s why it’s more dangerous
there that’s why it’s more dangerous
there that’s why it’s more dangerous it’s just the likelihood of you actually
it’s just the likelihood of you actually
it’s just the likelihood of you actually staring at the Sun absolutely and the
staring at the Sun absolutely and the
staring at the Sun absolutely and the closer and closer that we get to
closer and closer that we get to
closer and closer that we get to totality so if we look at our live
totality so if we look at our live
totality so if we look at our live stream right now of the Sun you’ll see
stream right now of the Sun you’ll see
stream right now of the Sun you’ll see that it’s Big Bite has been taken out
that it’s Big Bite has been taken out
that it’s Big Bite has been taken out the moon is really covering a bunch of
the moon is really covering a bunch of
the moon is really covering a bunch of the Sun but as it gets closer and closer
the Sun but as it gets closer and closer
the Sun but as it gets closer and closer to the Sun being a sliver it might not
to the Sun being a sliver it might not
to the Sun being a sliver it might not feel as much to your eyes right like it
feel as much to your eyes right like it
feel as much to your eyes right like it hurts if you try to look at it it might
hurts if you try to look at it it might
hurts if you try to look at it it might not feel as bad and that’s when it’s the
not feel as bad and that’s when it’s the
not feel as bad and that’s when it’s the most dangerous because you won’t have
most dangerous because you won’t have
most dangerous because you won’t have that natural inkling to squint and you
that natural inkling to squint and you
that natural inkling to squint and you should never look at the Sun this is way
should never look at the Sun this is way

I have a pair of solar safe binoculars
I have a pair of solar safe binoculars so I can actually turn up and look
so I can actually turn up and look
so I can actually turn up and look directly at the Sun oh my gosh and I can
directly at the Sun oh my gosh and I can
directly at the Sun oh my gosh and I can see sunspots I’m freaking out right now
see sunspots I’m freaking out right now
see sunspots I’m freaking out right now you guys I’m gonna be doing this quite a
you guys I’m gonna be doing this quite a
you guys I’m gonna be doing this quite a bit throughout this stream because I

Terri’s doing some incredible
Terri’s doing some incredible photography right now that’s right but I
photography right now that’s right but I
photography right now that’s right but I have a specialist solar filter on the
have a specialist solar filter on the
have a specialist solar filter on the front so you do not want to look through
front so you do not want to look through
front so you do not want to look through a normal camera at the Sun because that
a normal camera at the Sun because that
a normal camera at the Sun because that will be even worse than looking at the
will be even worse than looking at the
will be even worse than looking at the Sun I’ll be like a magnifying glass
Sun I’ll be like a magnifying glass
Sun I’ll be like a magnifying glass focusing those dangerous reviewing that
focusing those dangerous reviewing that
focusing those dangerous reviewing that with a magnifying yes we did so you
with a magnifying yes we did so you
with a magnifying yes we did so you don’t want to do that on your eyeball no
don’t want to do that on your eyeball no
don’t want to do that on your eyeball no apps
apps
apps and if you happen to be in that narrow
and if you happen to be in that narrow
and if you happen to be in that narrow band of totality once the Sun is
band of totality once the Sun is
band of totality once the Sun is completely blocked and the moon is
completely blocked and the moon is
completely blocked and the moon is covering it up then you can take your
covering it up then you can take your
covering it up then you can take your glasses off and it’ll be safe for a
glasses off and it’ll be safe for a
glasses off and it’ll be safe for a minute or two minutes however long
minute or two minutes however long
minute or two minutes however long you’re in the path for but until then
you’re in the path for but until then
you’re in the path for but until then you have to have the protection yeah and
you have to have the protection yeah and
you have to have the protection yeah and so look it up make sure you’re in
so look it up make sure you’re in
so look it up make sure you’re in totality and you’ll know I mean it’s a
totality and you’ll know I mean it’s a
totality and you’ll know I mean it’s a very specific look being in totality but
very specific look being in totality but
very specific look being in totality but that’s the time when you can actually
that’s the time when you can actually
that’s the time when you can actually remove your eye protection you can look
remove your eye protection you can look
remove your eye protection you can look straight at the Sun because the Sun is
straight at the Sun because the Sun is
straight at the Sun because the Sun is completely blocked by the moon and all
completely blocked by the moon and all
completely blocked by the moon and all you can see is that faint Corona and the
you can see is that faint Corona and the
you can see is that faint Corona and the truth is if you try to look at the Sun
truth is if you try to look at the Sun
truth is if you try to look at the Sun with your protection because these are
with your protection because these are
with your protection because these are so dark during totality you actually
so dark during totality you actually
so dark during totality you actually won’t be able to see any brain that’s
won’t be able to see any brain that’s
won’t be able to see any brain that’s the moment it’s when the Sun sets in the
the moment it’s when the Sun sets in the
the moment it’s when the Sun sets in the middle of the day this is what I think a
middle of the day this is what I think a
middle of the day this is what I think a lot of people don’t realize in type 2 in
lot of people don’t realize in type 2 in
lot of people don’t realize in type 2 in totality it’s going to get dark it’ll be
totality it’s going to get dark it’ll be
totality it’s going to get dark it’ll be dark it’ll be cooler the temperature
dark it’ll be cooler the temperature
dark it’ll be cooler the temperature will drop yeah oh my gosh I am so
will drop yeah oh my gosh I am so
will drop yeah oh my gosh I am so excited okay so you have never you know
excited okay so you have never you know
excited okay so you have never you know the last solar eclipses in 1979 here in
the last solar eclipses in 1979 here in
the last solar eclipses in 1979 here in the United States and so I’ve never
the United States and so I’ve never
the United States and so I’ve never experienced it I was born in 1983
experienced it I was born in 1983
experienced it I was born in 1983 have you experienced from the ground
have you experienced from the ground
have you experienced from the ground here on earth a solar I have not this is
here on earth a solar I have not this is
here on earth a solar I have not this is my first one but a little birdie told me
my first one but a little birdie told me
my first one but a little birdie told me that you have seen them from space so
that you have seen them from space so
that you have seen them from space so that was a really amazing opportunity
that was a really amazing opportunity
that was a really amazing opportunity when I was on the space station two
when I was on the space station two
when I was on the space station two years ago there was an eclipse over the
years ago there was an eclipse over the
years ago there was an eclipse over the North Atlantic and as we were flying
North Atlantic and as we were flying
North Atlantic and as we were flying over it was really far in the distance
over it was really far in the distance
over it was really far in the distance it was more than a thousand miles away
it was more than a thousand miles away
it was more than a thousand miles away but you could see actually the shadow of
but you could see actually the shadow of
but you could see actually the shadow of the moon on the earth and if you look at
the moon on the earth and if you look at
the moon on the earth and if you look at this picture there’s a solar array from
this picture there’s a solar array from
this picture there’s a solar array from the Russian progress spaceship there so
the Russian progress spaceship there so
the Russian progress spaceship there so underneath that bright white rectangle
underneath that bright white rectangle

that’s a great question but you know
that’s a great question but you know what here’s the thing the moon is in
what here’s the thing the moon is in
what here’s the thing the moon is in this fluky position anyway right so it’s
this fluky position anyway right so it’s
this fluky position anyway right so it’s a normal day for the moon and it’s a
a normal day for the moon and it’s a
a normal day for the moon and it’s a normal day for the Sun but there are
normal day for the Sun but there are
normal day for the Sun but there are some numbers that we should know right
some numbers that we should know right
some numbers that we should know right that’s true the earth is let’s see if I
that’s true the earth is let’s see if I
that’s true the earth is let’s see if I get this right you fact-check me here
get this right you fact-check me here
get this right you fact-check me here the earth is four times larger than the
the earth is four times larger than the
the earth is four times larger than the moon right the Sun is a hundred times
moon right the Sun is a hundred times
moon right the Sun is a hundred times larger than the earth correct so the Sun
larger than the earth correct so the Sun
larger than the earth correct so the Sun is actually 400 times larger than the
is actually 400 times larger than the
is actually 400 times larger than the moon right but
moon right but
moon right but the moon is 400 times closer right yeah
the moon is 400 times closer right yeah
the moon is 400 times closer right yeah than the Sun which means if the Sun 400
than the Sun which means if the Sun 400
than the Sun which means if the Sun 400 times farther away but the moon is 400
times farther away but the moon is 400
times farther away but the moon is 400 times closer to the Sun in this super
times closer to the Sun in this super
times closer to the Sun in this super fluky coincidence the moon looks like
fluky coincidence the moon looks like
fluky coincidence the moon looks like it’s the same size as the Sun and
it’s the same size as the Sun and
it’s the same size as the Sun and completely blocks it it does for now for

now but soon in another 600 million
now but soon in another 600 million years the moon actually moves away from
years the moon actually moves away from
years the moon actually moves away from the earth a few inches a year no it does
the earth a few inches a year no it does
the earth a few inches a year no it does couple inches that’s amazing so in 600
couple inches that’s amazing so in 600
couple inches that’s amazing so in 600 million years it’ll be so far from the
million years it’ll be so far from the
million years it’ll be so far from the earth that we won’t be any more eclipses
earth that we won’t be any more eclipses
earth that we won’t be any more eclipses so it’s good to watch the Eclipse like
so it’s good to watch the Eclipse like
so it’s good to watch the Eclipse like so can ya so when we say
so can ya so when we say

many ways there goes in a lifetime
many ways there goes in a lifetime eclipses are quite common there’s about

two a year they’re usually partial
two a year they’re usually partial there’s one total solar eclipse what is
there’s one total solar eclipse what is
there’s one total solar eclipse what is it about like every three or four or
it about like every three or four or
it about like every three or four or five years every year – yeah yeah it
five years every year – yeah yeah it
five years every year – yeah yeah it does happen but the problem is it’s
does happen but the problem is it’s
does happen but the problem is it’s usually over the ocean right it’s not
usually over the ocean right it’s not

in your country so the same eclipse like
in your country so the same eclipse like this Eclipse that’s happening today or I
this Eclipse that’s happening today or I
this Eclipse that’s happening today or I shouldn’t say the same Eclipse that gets
shouldn’t say the same Eclipse that gets
shouldn’t say the same Eclipse that gets confusing and Eclipse passing over the
confusing and Eclipse passing over the
confusing and Eclipse passing over the same GPS coordinate right only happens
same GPS coordinate right only happens
same GPS coordinate right only happens like every 75 no $375 which means if you
like every 75 no $375 which means if you
like every 75 no $375 which means if you never move like if you don’t have the
never move like if you don’t have the
never move like if you don’t have the capacity to travel to see an eclipse
capacity to travel to see an eclipse
capacity to travel to see an eclipse this is it this really is a what’s in a
this is it this really is a what’s in a
this is it this really is a what’s in a like we do have another total solar
like we do have another total solar
like we do have another total solar eclipse coming to the United States and
eclipse coming to the United States and
eclipse coming to the United States and 2024 so that’s just in what is that
2024 so that’s just in what is that
2024 so that’s just in what is that seven years a few more years oh my gosh
seven years a few more years oh my gosh
seven years a few more years oh my gosh and it’s gonna pass over where I grew up
and it’s gonna pass over where I grew up
and it’s gonna pass over where I grew up in Dallas Texas cool that’s right I’ll
in Dallas Texas cool that’s right I’ll
in Dallas Texas cool that’s right I’ll be in Texas right oh really oh yeah you

be in Texas right oh really oh yeah you live in Houston astronaut so we do have
live in Houston astronaut so we do have
live in Houston astronaut so we do have another opportunity if you’re missing it
another opportunity if you’re missing it
another opportunity if you’re missing it today and also maybe we should talk a
today and also maybe we should talk a
today and also maybe we should talk a little bit about the different ways that
little bit about the different ways that
little bit about the different ways that you can look at any clips because right
you can look at any clips because right
you can look at any clips because right most of you watching on the stream are
most of you watching on the stream are
most of you watching on the stream are probably not in the US or if you are in
probably not in the US or if you are in
probably not in the US or if you are in the u.s. you’re not in the path of
the u.s. you’re not in the path of
the u.s. you’re not in the path of totality so you’re seeing a partial
totality so you’re seeing a partial
totality so you’re seeing a partial eclipse it’s a very special thing to be
eclipse it’s a very special thing to be
eclipse it’s a very special thing to be within that path of totality I think you
within that path of totality I think you
within that path of totality I think you were telling me earlier one in a
were telling me earlier one in a
were telling me earlier one in a thousand people yeah
thousand people yeah
thousand people yeah this I’ve seen the statistics less than
this I’ve seen the statistics less than
this I’ve seen the statistics less than one in a thousand humans ever get to see
one in a thousand humans ever get to see
one in a thousand humans ever get to see a total eclipse so you’re pretty lucky
a total eclipse so you’re pretty lucky
a total eclipse so you’re pretty lucky if you do and even if you’re in the path
if you do and even if you’re in the path
if you do and even if you’re in the path of totality it
of totality it

what is it every 18 years every 18 years yeah the Eclipse repeats itself from a
yeah the Eclipse repeats itself from a
yeah the Eclipse repeats itself from a orbital mechanics point of view and that
orbital mechanics point of view and that
orbital mechanics point of view and that leads to another question I’m sure we’re
leads to another question I’m sure we’re
leads to another question I’m sure we’re gonna get lots of these why isn’t there
gonna get lots of these why isn’t there
gonna get lots of these why isn’t there an eclipse every month because every
an eclipse every month because every
an eclipse every month because every month the moon goes around the earth and
month the moon goes around the earth and
month the moon goes around the earth and gets between the Earth and the Sun yeah
gets between the Earth and the Sun yeah
gets between the Earth and the Sun yeah but the shadow is so small so there’s
but the shadow is so small so there’s
but the shadow is so small so there’s always the moon shadow moon shadow is
always the moon shadow moon shadow is
always the moon shadow moon shadow is somewhere in space all the time 24/7 but
somewhere in space all the time 24/7 but
somewhere in space all the time 24/7 but the moon’s orbit is not in a perfectly
the moon’s orbit is not in a perfectly
the moon’s orbit is not in a perfectly aligned plane with the Earth’s orbit so
aligned plane with the Earth’s orbit so
aligned plane with the Earth’s orbit so every month the moon is near the Sun but
every month the moon is near the Sun but
every month the moon is near the Sun but it’s usually just a little bit off above
it’s usually just a little bit off above
it’s usually just a little bit off above it or below it and klipse passes just
it or below it and klipse passes just
it or below it and klipse passes just over heads but we do have like we said a
over heads but we do have like we said a
over heads but we do have like we said a couple of year like eclipses are
couple of year like eclipses are
couple of year like eclipses are actually much more common than this way
actually much more common than this way
actually much more common than this way they’re just not common where people all

look at their t-shirts I love it we’re
look at their t-shirts I love it we’re getting ready for the Eclipse and of
getting ready for the Eclipse and of
getting ready for the Eclipse and of course we are on the early end of this
course we are on the early end of this
course we are on the early end of this we are in Oregon and the path of
we are in Oregon and the path of
we are in Oregon and the path of totality is moving west to east so in
totality is moving west to east so in
totality is moving west to east so in many ways we’re some of the first people
many ways we’re some of the first people
many ways we’re some of the first people who get to experience this we are very
who get to experience this we are very
who get to experience this we are very lucky and my friend and on the TV in
lucky and my friend and on the TV in
lucky and my friend and on the TV in Baltimore Fox 45 the meteorologists sent
Baltimore Fox 45 the meteorologists sent
Baltimore Fox 45 the meteorologists sent me the map and so on the west coast it’s
me the map and so on the west coast it’s
me the map and so on the west coast it’s great and in Tennessee it’s great
great and in Tennessee it’s great
great and in Tennessee it’s great weather but in the middle of the country
weather but in the middle of the country
weather but in the middle of the country there may be some clouds and in South
there may be some clouds and in South
there may be some clouds and in South Carolina there may be some it’ll still
Carolina there may be some it’ll still
Carolina there may be some it’ll still get dark out but you won’t be able to
get dark out but you won’t be able to
get dark out but you won’t be able to necessarily see the the moon covering up
necessarily see the the moon covering up
necessarily see the the moon covering up the Sun and that’s when I say luckily in
the Sun and that’s when I say luckily in
the Sun and that’s when I say luckily in 2024 again but okay I want to take
2024 again but okay I want to take
2024 again but okay I want to take another question I think so let’s we’ve
another question I think so let’s we’ve
another question I think so let’s we’ve answered this one
answered this one
answered this one see what else we’ve got okay we’ve got
see what else we’ve got okay we’ve got
see what else we’ve got okay we’ve got one here from Kathy Evelyn and she says
one here from Kathy Evelyn and she says
one here from Kathy Evelyn and she says oh we mentioned this but I think we
oh we mentioned this but I think we
oh we mentioned this but I think we really should reheat this would it be
really should reheat this would it be
really should reheat this would it be safe to point my phone camera at the
safe to point my phone camera at the
safe to point my phone camera at the Eclipse and watch it on my screen it
Eclipse and watch it on my screen it
Eclipse and watch it on my screen it seems like it would be a good hack right
seems like it would be a good hack right
seems like it would be a good hack right well I don’t have to look directly at it
well I don’t have to look directly at it
well I don’t have to look directly at it if I drag it my screen but if you’re
if I drag it my screen but if you’re
if I drag it my screen but if you’re looking at a computer screen that’s safe
looking at a computer screen that’s safe
looking at a computer screen that’s safe but if your eyes are pointed in the

your phone pointed at the Sun for a long
your phone pointed at the Sun for a long period of time you can take pictures of
period of time you can take pictures of
period of time you can take pictures of the Sun that’s fine but if you just

video like for a long period of time that might fry your electronics or melt
that might fry your electronics or melt
that might fry your electronics or melt the camera especially if you have you
the camera especially if you have you
the camera especially if you have you know a telescope or a zoom lens like
know a telescope or a zoom lens like
know a telescope or a zoom lens like this or even binoculars like again I got
this or even binoculars like again I got
this or even binoculars like again I got to point out these are solar safe I
to point out these are solar safe I
to point out these are solar safe I don’t know if you can see that but these
don’t know if you can see that but these
don’t know if you can see that but these are solar safe binoculars you can’t it’s
are solar safe binoculars you can’t it’s
are solar safe binoculars you can’t it’s too bright which means that they have
too bright which means that they have
too bright which means that they have this super dark lens over the orange
this super dark lens over the orange
this super dark lens over the orange that’s cutting out all the radiation
that’s cutting out all the radiation
that’s cutting out all the radiation that could be damaging to our eyes and I
that could be damaging to our eyes and I
that could be damaging to our eyes and I think another point that we should
think another point that we should
think another point that we should mention what you don’t want to do if you
mention what you don’t want to do if you
mention what you don’t want to do if you got a solar filter and you’re really
got a solar filter and you’re really
got a solar filter and you’re really excited to be able to use that solar
excited to be able to use that solar
excited to be able to use that solar filter you don’t put it between your eye
filter you don’t put it between your eye
filter you don’t put it between your eye and the lens that’s closed so you have
and the lens that’s closed so you have
and the lens that’s closed so you have to put it between the lens farthest away
to put it between the lens farthest away
to put it between the lens farthest away from you because this lens is magnifying
from you because this lens is magnifying
from you because this lens is magnifying the sun’s ray that’s right and it could
the sun’s ray that’s right and it could
the sun’s ray that’s right and it could it could tear a hole right in your
it could tear a hole right in your
it could tear a hole right in your filter if you put it close to your eye
filter if you put it close to your eye
filter if you put it close to your eye or it you know it could let some of this
or it you know it could let some of this
or it you know it could let some of this harmful UV rays in yep so the truth is
harmful UV rays in yep so the truth is
harmful UV rays in yep so the truth is all of these that the telescope that you
all of these that the telescope that you
all of these that the telescope that you see that’s pointing at the Sun right now
see that’s pointing at the Sun right now
see that’s pointing at the Sun right now let’s look at that picture again because
let’s look at that picture again because
let’s look at that picture again because it just blows my mind every time that
it just blows my mind every time that
it just blows my mind every time that hello my gosh that’s the Sun you guys

Eclipse and put a mirror in front of you
Eclipse and put a mirror in front of you like you were going to take a selfie and
like you were going to take a selfie and
like you were going to take a selfie and in the mirror well a mirror would
in the mirror well a mirror would
in the mirror well a mirror would actually just reflect that that’s the

the moon is out there when the moon
the moon is out there when the moon first touches the edge of the Sun that’s
first touches the edge of the Sun that’s
first touches the edge of the Sun that’s called first contact
called first contact
called first contact then the moon moves across right now if
then the moon moves across right now if
then the moon moves across right now if you see if you’re looking at the feed
you see if you’re looking at the feed
you see if you’re looking at the feed the moon is kind of taking a bite out of
the moon is kind of taking a bite out of

the Sun and when the the complete moon
the Sun and when the the complete moon covers up the Sun entirely that’s called
covers up the Sun entirely that’s called
covers up the Sun entirely that’s called second contact so that’s really the
second contact so that’s really the
second contact so that’s really the beginning of totality they’re in contact
beginning of totality they’re in contact
beginning of totality they’re in contact that’s right and then as it moves across
that’s right and then as it moves across
that’s right and then as it moves across the Sun once totality ends that’s called
the Sun once totality ends that’s called
the Sun once totality ends that’s called third contact and that’s only about a
third contact and that’s only about a
third contact and that’s only about a minute and a half later here where we
minute and a half later here where we

two minutes
two minutes that’s third contact and then the moon
that’s third contact and then the moon
that’s third contact and then the moon will move away the team’s Sun will start

there’s a lot of cloud there’s a high level high clouds we’re hoping for like
level high clouds we’re hoping for like
level high clouds we’re hoping for like this microclimate effects on the along
this microclimate effects on the along
this microclimate effects on the along the coast here and we can’t see I can’t
the coast here and we can’t see I can’t
the coast here and we can’t see I can’t see the Sun through this high deck of
see the Sun through this high deck of
see the Sun through this high deck of clouds so I could save the way it is we
clouds so I could save the way it is we
clouds so I could save the way it is we should be able to see the Sun and
should be able to see the Sun and
should be able to see the Sun and definitely darken I mean there’s no
definitely darken I mean there’s no
definitely darken I mean there’s no question about that
question about that
question about that absolutely so Andrew I wanted to ask you
absolutely so Andrew I wanted to ask you
absolutely so Andrew I wanted to ask you about an incredible opportunity that
about an incredible opportunity that
about an incredible opportunity that individual Eclipse viewers have you know
individual Eclipse viewers have you know
individual Eclipse viewers have you know a lot of us were lucky enough to get our
a lot of us were lucky enough to get our
a lot of us were lucky enough to get our hands on a pair of Eclipse glasses that
hands on a pair of Eclipse glasses that
hands on a pair of Eclipse glasses that we can use to view it but you know once
we can use to view it but you know once
we can use to view it but you know once the Eclipse is over what do you do with
the Eclipse is over what do you do with
the Eclipse is over what do you do with those things well that’s right so some
those things well that’s right so some
those things well that’s right so some people are thinking well I might keep my
people are thinking well I might keep my
people are thinking well I might keep my glasses for the next Eclipse but that’s
glasses for the next Eclipse but that’s
glasses for the next Eclipse but that’s in seven years in 2024 and the polymer
in seven years in 2024 and the polymer
in seven years in 2024 and the polymer that that that are used in the solar
that that that are used in the solar
that that that are used in the solar eclipse classes aren’t really able to
eclipse classes aren’t really able to
eclipse classes aren’t really able to last that long okay and so so there are
last that long okay and so so there are
last that long okay and so so there are about two three years lifetime so if
about two three years lifetime so if

don’t want to look really until it’s actually totality because even at 99%
actually totality because even at 99%
actually totality because even at 99% covered the Sun can still be dangerous
covered the Sun can still be dangerous
covered the Sun can still be dangerous so don’t actually stare at it until it’s
so don’t actually stare at it until it’s
so don’t actually stare at it until it’s actually fully eclipsed but in the
actually fully eclipsed but in the
actually fully eclipsed but in the seconds but immediately before the moon
seconds but immediately before the moon
seconds but immediately before the moon covers the Sun there are two things
covers the Sun there are two things
covers the Sun there are two things called diamond ring phenomenon and
called diamond ring phenomenon and
called diamond ring phenomenon and Baily’s beads
Baily’s beads
Baily’s beads and the diamond ring is called that
and the diamond ring is called that
and the diamond ring is called that because it looks like a diamond ring
because it looks like a diamond ring
because it looks like a diamond ring you’ll see an orange glow around the
you’ll see an orange glow around the
you’ll see an orange glow around the moon and then when there’s still a
moon and then when there’s still a
moon and then when there’s still a little bit of Sun up it’s a really
little bit of Sun up it’s a really
little bit of Sun up it’s a really bright white thing so it looks like a
bright white thing so it looks like a
bright white thing so it looks like a golden diamond ring with a big white
golden diamond ring with a big white
golden diamond ring with a big white diamond itself so it’s kind of like when
diamond itself so it’s kind of like when
diamond itself so it’s kind of like when we’re basically starting totality but
we’re basically starting totality but
we’re basically starting totality but it’s just off kilter just before the
it’s just off kilter just before the
it’s just off kilter just before the totality at the diamond ring and then as
totality at the diamond ring and then as
totality at the diamond ring and then as the moon passes in front of the Sun the
the moon passes in front of the Sun the
the moon passes in front of the Sun the moon is not a perfectly round object
moon is not a perfectly round object
moon is not a perfectly round object there’s craters and so there’s a bunch
there’s craters and so there’s a bunch
there’s craters and so there’s a bunch of divots on the moon and as the sun’s
of divots on the moon and as the sun’s
of divots on the moon and as the sun’s light kind of filters and flows through
light kind of filters and flows through
light kind of filters and flows through those craters it makes an uneven shape
those craters it makes an uneven shape
those craters it makes an uneven shape so if you looked at the shadow it’s
so if you looked at the shadow it’s
so if you looked at the shadow it’s almost like a hexagon or a polygon on
almost like a hexagon or a polygon on
almost like a hexagon or a polygon on the earth it’s not a round thing and so
the earth it’s not a round thing and so
the earth it’s not a round thing and so the moon’s craters create these things
the moon’s craters create these things
the moon’s craters create these things called Baily’s beads and they only last
called Baily’s beads and they only last
called Baily’s beads and they only last for fractions of a second or maybe a
for fractions of a second or maybe a
for fractions of a second or maybe a second or two so lots millions of people
second or two so lots millions of people
second or two so lots millions of people will have their camera set on high-speed
will have their camera set on high-speed
will have their camera set on high-speed yeah firing off their pictures trying to

there a chance in the future that eclipses will be caused by other planets
eclipses will be caused by other planets
eclipses will be caused by other planets and that’s a question from Kazakhstan
and that’s a question from Kazakhstan
and that’s a question from Kazakhstan will eclipses be caused by oh that’s a
will eclipses be caused by oh that’s a
will eclipses be caused by oh that’s a great question there are eclipses that
great question there are eclipses that
great question there are eclipses that happen all the time around the solar
happen all the time around the solar
happen all the time around the solar system because many planets have moons
system because many planets have moons
system because many planets have moons the problem with planets is they’re so
the problem with planets is they’re so
the problem with planets is they’re so far away from other planets that the
far away from other planets that the
far away from other planets that the shadow that they form is so small it
shadow that they form is so small it
shadow that they form is so small it would never make it to another planet
would never make it to another planet
would never make it to another planet and if they ever did it would probably
and if they ever did it would probably
and if they ever did it would probably be really bad here on earth if Jupiter
be really bad here on earth if Jupiter
be really bad here on earth if Jupiter were close enough to cast a shadow so
were close enough to cast a shadow so
were close enough to cast a shadow so the planets are a little too far away to
the planets are a little too far away to
the planets are a little too far away to completely obscure the Sun but there is
completely obscure the Sun but there is
completely obscure the Sun but there is an incredible phenomenon called the
an incredible phenomenon called the
an incredible phenomenon called the transit of Venus yes I actually saw that
transit of Venus yes I actually saw that
transit of Venus yes I actually saw that I think was 2004 using a pinhole camera
I think was 2004 using a pinhole camera
I think was 2004 using a pinhole camera I took the piece of cardboard made a
I took the piece of cardboard made a
I took the piece of cardboard made a little pinhole and you can see it on a
little pinhole and you can see it on a
little pinhole and you can see it on a piece of paper yes you can actually see
piece of paper yes you can actually see
piece of paper yes you can actually see Venus transiting across the surface
Venus transiting across the surface
Venus transiting across the surface right scientists use use those
right scientists use use those
right scientists use use those measurements that they take during the
measurements that they take during the
measurements that they take during the transit to learn all sorts of things
transit to learn all sorts of things
transit to learn all sorts of things about our solar system but it’s teeny
about our solar system but it’s teeny
about our solar system but it’s teeny tiny right it actually looks like have
tiny right it actually looks like have
tiny right it actually looks like have you guys seen these incredible photos of
you guys seen these incredible photos of
you guys seen these incredible photos of the space station yes
the space station yes
the space station yes traveling across the surface of the
traveling across the surface of the
traveling across the surface of the it looks like that so we had one of the
it looks like that so we had one of the
it looks like that so we had one of the favorite things I did in space was film
favorite things I did in space was film
favorite things I did in space was film an IMAX movie called beautiful planet
an IMAX movie called beautiful planet

and our director of photography James neihaus actually came out to California
neihaus actually came out to California
neihaus actually came out to California had a special camera and took a picture
had a special camera and took a picture
had a special camera and took a picture of me flying in front of the Sun onboard
of me flying in front of the Sun onboard

so so if you were on Mars you could get
so so if you were on Mars you could get a transit of the earth you could see the
a transit of the earth you could see the
a transit of the earth you could see the earth move in front of the Sun but that
earth move in front of the Sun but that
earth move in front of the Sun but that would be pretty rare and not that common
would be pretty rare and not that common
would be pretty rare and not that common of a thing to see but I did read that on
of a thing to see but I did read that on
of a thing to see but I did read that on Mars you have a solar eclipse really
Mars you have a solar eclipse really
Mars you have a solar eclipse really it’s almost everyday like really common
it’s almost everyday like really common
it’s almost everyday like really common because the thing is Mars this moons are
because the thing is Mars this moons are
because the thing is Mars this moons are tiny yeah those and Deimos are really
tiny yeah those and Deimos are really
tiny yeah those and Deimos are really close they’re small and because they’re
close they’re small and because they’re
close they’re small and because they’re so small they can be close to Mars to
so small they can be close to Mars to
so small they can be close to Mars to stay in orbit and so there’s a small
stay in orbit and so there’s a small
stay in orbit and so there’s a small shadow going across the surface all the
shadow going across the surface all the
shadow going across the surface all the time yeah so even though we won’t have
time yeah so even though we won’t have
time yeah so even though we won’t have any solar eclipses that are caused by
any solar eclipses that are caused by
any solar eclipses that are caused by other planets there are solar eclipses
other planets there are solar eclipses
other planets there are solar eclipses on other planets caused by their own
on other planets caused by their own
on other planets caused by their own moons quite often it is so when we

ripped in the sky yes you know for a lot
ripped in the sky yes you know for a lot of people and for me too when I was
of people and for me too when I was
of people and for me too when I was watching that Eclipse it looked like
watching that Eclipse it looked like
watching that Eclipse it looked like there was a hole it did with the Sun’s
there was a hole it did with the Sun’s
there was a hole it did with the Sun’s corona it looked like somebody had shot
corona it looked like somebody had shot
corona it looked like somebody had shot a hole because the moon doesn’t look
a hole because the moon doesn’t look

being ripped in the fit the closest you
being ripped in the fit the closest you could be was about three and a half four
could be was about three and a half four

the Sun so they got to spend the night
the Sun so they got to spend the night in this geodesic dome they got to do
in this geodesic dome they got to do
in this geodesic dome they got to do some night viewing of the sky with a
some night viewing of the sky with a
some night viewing of the sky with a NatGeo photographer with an astronomer
NatGeo photographer with an astronomer
NatGeo photographer with an astronomer and then this morning they went up in a
and then this morning they went up in a
and then this morning they went up in a private plane and they chased the
private plane and they chased the
private plane and they chased the Eclipse so let’s talk a little bit about
Eclipse so let’s talk a little bit about
Eclipse so let’s talk a little bit about that chasing the Icarus obviously they
that chasing the Icarus obviously they
that chasing the Icarus obviously they can’t catch it cuz how fast is the
can’t catch it cuz how fast is the
can’t catch it cuz how fast is the Eclipse move it’s going about 1700 miles
Eclipse move it’s going about 1700 miles
Eclipse move it’s going about 1700 miles an hour yeah I don’t think we have
an hour yeah I don’t think we have
an hour yeah I don’t think we have airplanes so yeah they’re in a Gulf
airplanes so yeah they’re in a Gulf
airplanes so yeah they’re in a Gulf Stream right now so it’s probably going
Stream right now so it’s probably going
Stream right now so it’s probably going about 500 miles an hour although we were
about 500 miles an hour although we were
about 500 miles an hour although we were reading last night in 1972 the Concorde
reading last night in 1972 the Concorde
reading last night in 1972 the Concorde which was a supersonic passenger
which was a supersonic passenger
which was a supersonic passenger airplane went twice the speed of sound
airplane went twice the speed of sound
airplane went twice the speed of sound chased an eclipse across Africa and they
chased an eclipse across Africa and they
chased an eclipse across Africa and they got over 70 minutes of totality minute
got over 70 minutes of totality minute
got over 70 minutes of totality minute and of course NASA just right now is
and of course NASA just right now is
and of course NASA just right now is actually chasing it what kind of plan
actually chasing it what kind of plan
actually chasing it what kind of plan it’s called a WB 57 it’s a old Air Force
it’s called a WB 57 it’s a old Air Force
it’s called a WB 57 it’s a old Air Force airplane from the 1950s and 60s that
airplane from the 1950s and 60s that

put all different kinds of instruments
put all different kinds of instruments that look at earth or a look at the sky
that look at earth or a look at the sky
that look at earth or a look at the sky and right now they have special
and right now they have special

one of the things that we saw you could
one of the things that we saw you could see planets mm-hmm and back in 1919 yeah
see planets mm-hmm and back in 1919 yeah
see planets mm-hmm and back in 1919 yeah right soon after mr. Einstein had
right soon after mr. Einstein had
right soon after mr. Einstein had decided or had come up with this general
decided or had come up with this general
decided or had come up with this general and theory of relativity they wanted to
and theory of relativity they wanted to
and theory of relativity they wanted to test the hypothesis that gravity could
test the hypothesis that gravity could
test the hypothesis that gravity could bend the light of stars and so during an
bend the light of stars and so during an
bend the light of stars and so during an eclipse they were able to look at a star
eclipse they were able to look at a star
eclipse they were able to look at a star that was really near the Sun normally
that was really near the Sun normally
that was really near the Sun normally you can’t see the star cuz it’s too
you can’t see the star cuz it’s too
you can’t see the star cuz it’s too bright but during an eclipse it blocked
bright but during an eclipse it blocked
bright but during an eclipse it blocked the sun’s light so they could see where
the sun’s light so they could see where
the sun’s light so they could see where the star was only the star was a little
the star was only the star was a little
the star was only the star was a little bit not where it should have been and
bit not where it should have been and
bit not where it should have been and that was because the gravity from the
that was because the gravity from the
that was because the gravity from the Sun was bending the light of the star so
Sun was bending the light of the star so
Sun was bending the light of the star so the star didn’t actually move but where
the star didn’t actually move but where
the star didn’t actually move but where it looked to us move because the Sun was
it looked to us move because the Sun was
it looked to us move because the Sun was like a big lens out there that kind of
like a big lens out there that kind of
like a big lens out there that kind of bent the light and then that just proved
bent the light and then that just proved
bent the light and then that just proved that Einstein was right and that
that Einstein was right and that
that Einstein was right and that relativity was true yeah and so you know
relativity was true yeah and so you know
relativity was true yeah and so you know if you think about it
if you think about it
if you think about it prior to Einstein’s really
prior to Einstein’s really
prior to Einstein’s really groundbreaking theory that a lot of
groundbreaking theory that a lot of
groundbreaking theory that a lot of people didn’t really believe at first
people didn’t really believe at first
people didn’t really believe at first people thought that gravity was a force
people thought that gravity was a force
people thought that gravity was a force like there’s a physical force that an
like there’s a physical force that an
like there’s a physical force that an attractive force that’s pulling and we
attractive force that’s pulling and we
attractive force that’s pulling and we sometimes talk about it that way in a

the truth is as I’m xym posited gravity
the truth is as I’m xym posited gravity is actually just what happens when

three I’m super excited about this book it’s a National Geographic photography
it’s a National Geographic photography
it’s a National Geographic photography book but also with stories from space so

book but also with stories from space so it’s not a memoir it’s it’s about taking
it’s not a memoir it’s it’s about taking
it’s not a memoir it’s it’s about taking a space mission and putting it in work
a space mission and putting it in work
a space mission and putting it in work format and between the pictures and the

capture what it’s like to be in space
capture what it’s like to be in space yeah super excited October 3rd October
yeah super excited October 3rd October
yeah super excited October 3rd October 3rd most of us don’t have the pleasure
3rd most of us don’t have the pleasure
3rd most of us don’t have the pleasure obviously at least not yet of being able
obviously at least not yet of being able
obviously at least not yet of being able to go to space so this is a great way to
to go to space so this is a great way to
to go to space so this is a great way to be able to share it yeah so many
be able to share it yeah so many
be able to share it yeah so many millions of people are super interested
millions of people are super interested
millions of people are super interested in space and I wish they could go and I
in space and I wish they could go and I
in space and I wish they could go and I think in the future more people will
think in the future more people will
think in the future more people will have a chance to go but for now there’s
have a chance to go but for now there’s
have a chance to go but for now there’s only been a few hundred of us that have
only been a few hundred of us that have
only been a few hundred of us that have gone so I’m trying to share that
gone so I’m trying to share that
gone so I’m trying to share that experience and of course the statistic

also casts a shadow and right now it’s
also casts a shadow and right now it’s just out in space somewhere but when the
just out in space somewhere but when the
just out in space somewhere but when the moon passes on the other side of the
moon passes on the other side of the
moon passes on the other side of the earth and it goes into that Earth’s
earth and it goes into that Earth’s
earth and it goes into that Earth’s shadow
shadow
shadow that’s the lunar eclipse so it’s similar
that’s the lunar eclipse so it’s similar
that’s the lunar eclipse so it’s similar idea it’s just 180 degrees out it’s so
idea it’s just 180 degrees out it’s so
idea it’s just 180 degrees out it’s so cool so cool and you know we talked a
cool so cool and you know we talked a
cool so cool and you know we talked a little bit about these soro cycles these
little bit about these soro cycles these
little bit about these soro cycles these cycles that are about every 18 years and
cycles that are about every 18 years and
cycles that are about every 18 years and of course solar cycles mean that the
of course solar cycles mean that the
of course solar cycles mean that the same eclipse happens every eighteen
same eclipse happens every eighteen
same eclipse happens every eighteen years but it’s not gonna be in the same
years but it’s not gonna be in the same
years but it’s not gonna be in the same place on earth because of course the
place on earth because of course the
place on earth because of course the earth is rotating so unfortunately we
earth is rotating so unfortunately we
earth is rotating so unfortunately we only get an eclipse in the same place on
only get an eclipse in the same place on
only get an eclipse in the same place on earth every seven three hundred seven
earth every seven three hundred seven
earth every seven three hundred seven right to the genome yeah
right to the genome yeah
right to the genome yeah 375 years enter the airbnb code but that
375 years enter the airbnb code but that
375 years enter the airbnb code but that sort of cycle also applies to lunar
sort of cycle also applies to lunar
sort of cycle also applies to lunar cycles isn’t that cool yeah
cycles isn’t that cool yeah
cycles isn’t that cool yeah so we also have that same lunar cycle
so we also have that same lunar cycle
so we also have that same lunar cycle that’s happening about every 18 years
that’s happening about every 18 years
that’s happening about every 18 years which i think is about 6500 days yeah
which i think is about 6500 days yeah
which i think is about 6500 days yeah Casey roughly plus or minus we have a

Teton Valley so we’re deaf to the west
Teton Valley so we’re deaf to the west of the Teton National Park right here
of the Teton National Park right here
of the Teton National Park right here there’s lots of people today but we
there’s lots of people today but we
there’s lots of people today but we heard we could hear the people down in
heard we could hear the people down in
heard we could hear the people down in the valley we heard the shouts go up
the valley we heard the shouts go up
the valley we heard the shouts go up across the valley as totality was
across the valley as totality was
across the valley as totality was happening yeah so it started him started
happening yeah so it started him started
happening yeah so it started him started in the west on the other side of the
in the west on the other side of the
in the west on the other side of the valley and came over to us and you know
valley and came over to us and you know
valley and came over to us and you know our whole group we’ve got 30 scientists
our whole group we’ve got 30 scientists
our whole group we’ve got 30 scientists out here and they all moved in holler
out here and they all moved in holler
out here and they all moved in holler just as well incredible we’re looking at
just as well incredible we’re looking at
just as well incredible we’re looking at some photos that you sent in right now
some photos that you sent in right now
some photos that you sent in right now you know we could hear people we’re in a
you know we could hear people we’re in a
you know we could hear people we’re in a pretty remote place in Oregon right now
pretty remote place in Oregon right now
pretty remote place in Oregon right now but we could hear people all around for
but we could hear people all around for
but we could hear people all around for miles they were screaming it was such a
miles they were screaming it was such a
miles they were screaming it was such a stunning experience I was there have you
stunning experience I was there have you
stunning experience I was there have you seen a total solar eclipse before so
seen a total solar eclipse before so
seen a total solar eclipse before so I’ve never seen a total one but my
I’ve never seen a total one but my
I’ve never seen a total one but my parents took me out of school when I was
parents took me out of school when I was
parents took me out of school when I was about seven or eight to witness one of
about seven or eight to witness one of
about seven or eight to witness one of the partial ones and I’ll never forget
the partial ones and I’ll never forget
the partial ones and I’ll never forget that that in our garage there’s all
that that in our garage there’s all
that that in our garage there’s all these holes and then just looking at the
these holes and then just looking at the
these holes and then just looking at the floor and seeing the
floor and seeing the
floor and seeing the the pinhole camera projections of the
the pinhole camera projections of the
the pinhole camera projections of the Eclipse and we trace them out in chalk
Eclipse and we trace them out in chalk
Eclipse and we trace them out in chalk and I I you know it’s one of those
and I I you know it’s one of those
and I I you know it’s one of those things that just seems too crazy to be
things that just seems too crazy to be
things that just seems too crazy to be true but we saw the same thing again
true but we saw the same thing again
true but we saw the same thing again today and so this was something else but
today and so this was something else but
today and so this was something else but you some you are you saw was I think
you some you are you saw was I think
you some you are you saw was I think like pretty you know a wonderful author
like pretty you know a wonderful author
like pretty you know a wonderful author once said that comparing a partial
once said that comparing a partial
once said that comparing a partial eclipse to a toll solar eclipse is like
eclipse to a toll solar eclipse is like
eclipse to a toll solar eclipse is like comparing riding in an airplane to
comparing riding in an airplane to
comparing riding in an airplane to falling out of an airplane
yeah something totally different
yeah something totally different I have a bow sir we came out I’m sorry
I have a bow sir we came out I’m sorry
I have a bow sir we came out I’m sorry it’s Terry Virts so if let’s do the same
it’s Terry Virts so if let’s do the same
it’s Terry Virts so if let’s do the same question on a scale from 1 to 10 you saw
question on a scale from 1 to 10 you saw
question on a scale from 1 to 10 you saw partial eclipses in total so let’s say
partial eclipses in total so let’s say
partial eclipses in total so let’s say if a partial eclipse is 7 what would you
if a partial eclipse is 7 what would you
if a partial eclipse is 7 what would you say is a is a is a full Eclipse I think
say is a is a is a full Eclipse I think
say is a is a is a full Eclipse I think I know my number but I’m curious to see
I know my number but I’m curious to see
I know my number but I’m curious to see what you think everyone was are we for
what you think everyone was are we for
what you think everyone was are we for me it was about a million okay yeah
me it was about a million okay yeah
me it was about a million okay yeah there we go it definitely definitely way
there we go it definitely definitely way
there we go it definitely definitely way way past the off-the-charts there yeah
way past the off-the-charts there yeah
way past the off-the-charts there yeah that was amazing and it’s yeah so we
that was amazing and it’s yeah so we
that was amazing and it’s yeah so we were very excited about this this one so
were very excited about this this one so
were very excited about this this one so as a geologist I was really excited to
as a geologist I was really excited to
as a geologist I was really excited to come out to this specific area we put
come out to this specific area we put
come out to this specific area we put together all the great NASA data from
together all the great NASA data from
together all the great NASA data from the modis satellite to figure out where
the modis satellite to figure out where
the modis satellite to figure out where the least cloudy areas where I don’t
the least cloudy areas where I don’t
the least cloudy areas where I don’t know if you guys I’d rather be lucky
know if you guys I’d rather be lucky
know if you guys I’d rather be lucky than good yes we we found the spot so
than good yes we we found the spot so
than good yes we we found the spot so there you can anyone listening can go on
there you can anyone listening can go on
there you can anyone listening can go on the NASA website and download is just
the NASA website and download is just
the NASA website and download is just the cloudiness data for the entire whole
the cloudiness data for the entire whole
the cloudiness data for the entire whole the entire world and it goes back 16
the entire world and it goes back 16
the entire world and it goes back 16 years and so we averaged we looked at
years and so we averaged we looked at
years and so we averaged we looked at just a month of August and then figured
just a month of August and then figured
just a month of August and then figured out where in the US was going to be some
out where in the US was going to be some
out where in the US was going to be some of the leaps cloudy so out here and in
of the leaps cloudy so out here and in
of the leaps cloudy so out here and in Idaho it’s an average of about one or
Idaho it’s an average of about one or
Idaho it’s an average of about one or two cloudy days out of the entire month
two cloudy days out of the entire month
two cloudy days out of the entire month of August and that was we wanted to
of August and that was we wanted to
of August and that was we wanted to optimize our chances here and we were
optimize our chances here and we were
optimize our chances here and we were fortunate there’s no forest fires we’ve
fortunate there’s no forest fires we’ve
fortunate there’s no forest fires we’ve got some friends out there and organ and
got some friends out there and organ and
got some friends out there and organ and I heard that that’s obscuring some views
I heard that that’s obscuring some views
I heard that that’s obscuring some views absolutely we’re lucky enough to be on
absolutely we’re lucky enough to be on
absolutely we’re lucky enough to be on the east side of the Cascades here so we

why is the Eclipse going from west to
why is the Eclipse going from west to east hi I had the same question when I
east hi I had the same question when I
east hi I had the same question when I okay the answer to that question well
okay the answer to that question well
okay the answer to that question well the with of course you know from my
the with of course you know from my
the with of course you know from my perspective the Sun is still moving from
perspective the Sun is still moving from

east to west but the difference being
east to west but the difference being that we’ve got the moon getting in
that we’ve got the moon getting in
that we’ve got the moon getting in between us and when we experience the
between us and when we experience the
between us and when we experience the eclipses were in the moon’s shadow

happening just after dawn or just before
happening just after dawn or just before dusk it may not have been as dramatic
dusk it may not have been as dramatic
dusk it may not have been as dramatic but because it was full Sun middle of

Eclipse we talked about how the last
Eclipse we talked about how the last Eclipse here in the continental US was
Eclipse here in the continental US was
Eclipse here in the continental US was in 1979 a little bit about the frequency
in 1979 a little bit about the frequency
in 1979 a little bit about the frequency of the Eclipse what have we left out
of the Eclipse what have we left out
of the Eclipse what have we left out what’s something like some cool science
what’s something like some cool science
what’s something like some cool science information about the Eclipse that we
information about the Eclipse that we
information about the Eclipse that we haven’t gotten into have you talked much
haven’t gotten into have you talked much
haven’t gotten into have you talked much yet about how nature responds we got to
yet about how nature responds we got to

talk about that and we were so lucky
talk about that and we were so lucky that we did we heard some crazy bird
that we did we heard some crazy bird

that people who maybe are out there
that people who maybe are out there looking at the Eclipse and just
looking at the Eclipse and just
looking at the Eclipse and just marveling at the odds
marveling at the odds
marveling at the odds don’t really realize this happening wow
don’t really realize this happening wow
don’t really realize this happening wow that’s an interesting question I guess
that’s an interesting question I guess
that’s an interesting question I guess you know if you’ve already talked a lot
you know if you’ve already talked a lot
you know if you’ve already talked a lot about Hispanic eclipses have you talked
about Hispanic eclipses have you talked
about Hispanic eclipses have you talked much about the sort of prediction cycles
much about the sort of prediction cycles
much about the sort of prediction cycles what they go through no no how does this
what they go through no no how does this
what they go through no no how does this work though I mean we’ve been predicting
work though I mean we’ve been predicting
work though I mean we’ve been predicting eclipses for a very very very long time
eclipses for a very very very long time
eclipses for a very very very long time right like the Babylonians have records
right like the Babylonians have records
right like the Babylonians have records of being able to predict lunar eclipses
of being able to predict lunar eclipses
of being able to predict lunar eclipses and the ancient Greeks were predicting
and the ancient Greeks were predicting
and the ancient Greeks were predicting forward excessive and Eclipse because of
forward excessive and Eclipse because of
forward excessive and Eclipse because of the orbital dynamics it’s literally as
the orbital dynamics it’s literally as
the orbital dynamics it’s literally as predictable as the Sun Rise we never
predictable as the Sun Rise we never
predictable as the Sun Rise we never down to like minutes to seconds now when
down to like minutes to seconds now when
down to like minutes to seconds now when they’re gonna happen so we’re able to
they’re gonna happen so we’re able to
they’re gonna happen so we’re able to look back at historic eclipses that
look back at historic eclipses that
look back at historic eclipses that maybe aren’t in the record and say
maybe aren’t in the record and say
maybe aren’t in the record and say almost certainly what happened on this
almost certainly what happened on this
almost certainly what happened on this day and then we were able to project
day and then we were able to project
day and then we were able to project forward and say for the next eight
forward and say for the next eight
forward and say for the next eight thousand years we know exactly what day
thousand years we know exactly what day
thousand years we know exactly what day what time what the path is gonna be
what time what the path is gonna be
what time what the path is gonna be across the planet so if you get really
across the planet so if you get really
across the planet so if you get really into eclipses and you really love this
into eclipses and you really love this
into eclipses and you really love this one and want to see more it’s going to
one and want to see more it’s going to
one and want to see more it’s going to be very easy for you that’s incredible
be very easy for you that’s incredible
be very easy for you that’s incredible and of course Terry pointed out that in
and of course Terry pointed out that in
and of course Terry pointed out that in what six hundred million years yeah we
what six hundred million years yeah we
what six hundred million years yeah we won’t have any more because the moon is
won’t have any more because the moon is
won’t have any more because the moon is slowly shimmying away from the earth
slowly shimmying away from the earth
slowly shimmying away from the earth correct what a bummer
exactly exactly so maybe we can see
exactly exactly so maybe we can see eclipses with from our planet that’s
eclipses with from our planet that’s
eclipses with from our planet that’s true I would think that by then either
true I would think that by then either
true I would think that by then either we won’t be here or we’ll be somewhere
we won’t be here or we’ll be somewhere
we won’t be here or we’ll be somewhere else so hopefully that’s the situation
else so hopefully that’s the situation
else so hopefully that’s the situation so Victoria have you seen a total solar
so Victoria have you seen a total solar
so Victoria have you seen a total solar eclipse before this is my absolute first
eclipse before this is my absolute first
eclipse before this is my absolute first time isn’t it so incredible how almost
time isn’t it so incredible how almost
time isn’t it so incredible how almost everyone we talked to this is their
everyone we talked to this is their
everyone we talked to this is their first time and for many of us it may be
first time and for many of us it may be
first time and for many of us it may be our last time ever I mean it’s such an
our last time ever I mean it’s such an
our last time ever I mean it’s such an important experience so Terry was just
important experience so Terry was just
important experience so Terry was just urging individuals before and I think it

during the day look up and I promise you
during the day look up and I promise you I promise you especially if you’re in
I promise you especially if you’re in
I promise you especially if you’re in the path of totality disappointment will
the path of totality disappointment will
the path of totality disappointment will not be a word in your dictionary no this

you’re there you need to see it
you’re there you need to see it I cried yeah he saw it you guys saw it
no all right so guys my directors
no all right so guys my directors telling me that they have that footage
telling me that they have that footage
telling me that they have that footage of the of totality not of me crying but
of the of totality not of me crying but
of the of totality not of me crying but of totality here oh my goodness okay so
of totality here oh my goodness okay so
of totality here oh my goodness okay so there’s the diamond ring phenomenon and
there’s the diamond ring phenomenon and
there’s the diamond ring phenomenon and it’s starting to slowly slowly evaporate
it’s starting to slowly slowly evaporate
it’s starting to slowly slowly evaporate and now we’re in totality here and
and now we’re in totality here and
and now we’re in totality here and there’s this phenomenon I mean it
there’s this phenomenon I mean it
there’s this phenomenon I mean it basically just looks like blackness to
basically just looks like blackness to
basically just looks like blackness to me but you can see this super super
me but you can see this super super
me but you can see this super super faint ring there’s this phenomenon
faint ring there’s this phenomenon
faint ring there’s this phenomenon called Baily’s beads Terry what a
called Baily’s beads Terry what a
called Baily’s beads Terry what a Baily’s beads so the moon is not this
Baily’s beads so the moon is not this
Baily’s beads so the moon is not this perfectly round surface it has craters
perfectly round surface it has craters
perfectly round surface it has craters and divots in it and as the sun’s light
and divots in it and as the sun’s light
and divots in it and as the sun’s light flows around the moon the craters allow
flows around the moon the craters allow
flows around the moon the craters allow certain areas of bright sunlight in
certain areas of bright sunlight in
certain areas of bright sunlight in certain areas that’s blocked out and so
certain areas that’s blocked out and so
certain areas that’s blocked out and so when you see in the seconds and
when you see in the seconds and
when you see in the seconds and fractions of a second right before
fractions of a second right before
fractions of a second right before totality happens and right after it
totality happens and right after it
totality happens and right after it happens you can see basically the shape
happens you can see basically the shape
happens you can see basically the shape of the moon being reflected around the
of the moon being reflected around the
of the moon being reflected around the Sun it’s it’s a pretty neat way it looks
Sun it’s it’s a pretty neat way it looks
Sun it’s it’s a pretty neat way it looks like little beads around the Sun it’s
like little beads around the Sun it’s
like little beads around the Sun it’s just stunning and the cool thing is that
just stunning and the cool thing is that
just stunning and the cool thing is that when you see these totality photos then
when you see these totality photos then
when you see these totality photos then you mentioned you think this is going to
you mentioned you think this is going to
you mentioned you think this is going to be the most photographed event well this
be the most photographed event well this

perspective we can really get some great
perspective we can really get some great data and right here guys you can see
data and right here guys you can see

totality is just ending and there’s that
totality is just ending and there’s that once again and at this point through

is when you have to put your solar potatoes on one a few seconds after
potatoes on one a few seconds after
potatoes on one a few seconds after totality and it’s too bright to stir
totality and it’s too bright to stir
totality and it’s too bright to stir it’s just fun
it’s just fun
it’s just fun absolutely okay let’s see okay so we’ve
absolutely okay let’s see okay so we’ve
absolutely okay let’s see okay so we’ve got a couple of questions here and a
got a couple of questions here and a
got a couple of questions here and a couple of these we’ve answered earlier
couple of these we’ve answered earlier
couple of these we’ve answered earlier in the stream but they’re I think
in the stream but they’re I think
in the stream but they’re I think they’re pretty important and they bear
they’re pretty important and they bear
they’re pretty important and they bear repeating we’ve got a question here from
repeating we’ve got a question here from
repeating we’ve got a question here from someone who says does this happen with
someone who says does this happen with
someone who says does this happen with other planets and as we explained a
other planets and as we explained a
other planets and as we explained a little bit before other planets can’t
little bit before other planets can’t
little bit before other planets can’t fully block the Sun when they pass in
fully block the Sun when they pass in
fully block the Sun when they pass in front of it they do transit it there’s
front of it they do transit it there’s
front of it they do transit it there’s something called the transit of Venus
something called the transit of Venus
something called the transit of Venus and it goes in front of the Sun but it’s
and it goes in front of the Sun but it’s
and it goes in front of the Sun but it’s teeny tiny little dots yeah we actually
teeny tiny little dots yeah we actually
teeny tiny little dots yeah we actually there is a shift in brightness and
there is a shift in brightness and
there is a shift in brightness and scientists can measure it we can
scientists can measure it we can
scientists can measure it we can actually see it using proper eye
actually see it using proper eye
actually see it using proper eye protection but that’s actually
protection but that’s actually
protection but that’s actually experienced so you’ve read in the news
experienced so you’ve read in the news
experienced so you’ve read in the news about discovering planets and other star
about discovering planets and other star
about discovering planets and other star systems and that’s actually how we
systems and that’s actually how we
systems and that’s actually how we determine that there’s a planet is that
determine that there’s a planet is that
determine that there’s a planet is that when it passes in front of starlight it
when it passes in front of starlight it
when it passes in front of starlight it clearly is not creating an eclipse on
clearly is not creating an eclipse on
clearly is not creating an eclipse on earth but the brightness of the star
earth but the brightness of the star
earth but the brightness of the star dips a little bit from the planet
dips a little bit from the planet
dips a little bit from the planet blocking the svet star’s light and
blocking the svet star’s light and
blocking the svet star’s light and that’s that’s how we’re detecting
that’s that’s how we’re detecting
that’s that’s how we’re detecting planets right now is with some basically
planets right now is with some basically
planets right now is with some basically the answer to that question is how we
the answer to that question is how we
the answer to that question is how we detect planets how cool is that yeah and
detect planets how cool is that yeah and
detect planets how cool is that yeah and then if we were to answer this question
then if we were to answer this question
then if we were to answer this question a different way does this happen with
a different way does this happen with
a different way does this happen with other planets maybe we could say does
other planets maybe we could say does
other planets maybe we could say does this happen on other planets because
this happen on other planets because
this happen on other planets because we’ve got another question this is if we
we’ve got another question this is if we
we’ve got another question this is if we might be living on Mars someday can we
might be living on Mars someday can we
might be living on Mars someday can we experience the Eclipse from there too
experience the Eclipse from there too
experience the Eclipse from there too well we wouldn’t be having this special
well we wouldn’t be having this special
well we wouldn’t be having this special National Geographic presentation because
National Geographic presentation because
National Geographic presentation because it happens all the time
it happens all the time
it happens all the time the Mars has two moons Phobos and Deimos
the Mars has two moons Phobos and Deimos
the Mars has two moons Phobos and Deimos and they are very small they’re really
and they are very small they’re really
and they are very small they’re really odd shape they’re basically asteroids
odd shape they’re basically asteroids
odd shape they’re basically asteroids that are in really close orbit to Mars
that are in really close orbit to Mars
that are in really close orbit to Mars and because they’re so close to Mars
and because they’re so close to Mars
and because they’re so close to Mars their shadow gets cast on the Martian
their shadow gets cast on the Martian
their shadow gets cast on the Martian surface very frequently and it’s not the
surface very frequently and it’s not the
surface very frequently and it’s not the super rare once-in-a-lifetime event that
super rare once-in-a-lifetime event that
super rare once-in-a-lifetime event that it is here but it makes me wonder if it
it is here but it makes me wonder if it
it is here but it makes me wonder if it would be as pretty right because our
would be as pretty right because our
would be as pretty right because our moon is almost round and the Sun is
moon is almost round and the Sun is
moon is almost round and the Sun is almost round so we get this really
almost round so we get this really
almost round so we get this really stunning ring phenomenon and on Mars as
stunning ring phenomenon and on Mars as
stunning ring phenomenon and on Mars as you mentioned the moons that are sort of

difference in how much eclipse you get
difference in how much eclipse you get on Mars and of course totality might
