It's a great video, but if you're in totality, I recommend forgetting all this, at least during totality. You're going to be looking at the most jaw dropping phenomenon in the sky, what appears to be a black hole with gigantic flames around it. It's just that it's so quick, I recommend staring up in shock. I witnessed totality in 2017 and indirectly noticed many of these things, I'm just saying you don't want distractions.

@@SabineHossenfelder It is optimal to be as high up as you can be... we were lucky to be on a hill with views to the horizon all around. That said, I missed this approaching shadow aspect because we were so swept up in the sun itself in the moment (heart pounding). The thing that blew my mind in particular was the sheer blackness of the hole in the sun during totality (crisply resolved edges), and the ethereal white light surrounding it. The 3 dimensional 'HDR' aspect of the 'black hole sun' doesn't really come through in pictures *at all*. Also, the 360 degree dawn was really cool.

I live in Indianapolis and it was my first total eclipse too. I was amazed how cool and dark it got. It was beautiful! My neighbor's rooster went nuts calling.

SABINE I cannot recommend it too highly. I saw the total eclipse which brushed the UK in 2001 and it was mesmerising. I had to drive to Portland Bill because the totality track only just touched the very southern tip of the Headland. Only about 50 or so people had gone all the way to the Headland. there was light Cloud so we were never going to see a direct view but I was pleased to be in position about 20 minutes before the track passed. There were a couple of police officers there just to keep a little order--- but most people had simply bussed or walked to the Headland in order to sit on the grass and wait. Because Portland protrudes a mile or so self off the British south coast you can look both east and west of it across the sea. the totality track on that occasion swept pretty much West to East across the south coast and clipping the Headland at Portland. We all sat gazing at the sky to the west, in the direction of Plymouth - where there was in fact a radio announcer set somewhere on the beach, attempting to give commentary though he had much more cloud than we did, so after a bit we just turned him off and watched the sky. Eventually it began and such a strange experience. We saw initially the darkening of the sky as a shadow on the cloud, miles to the west: slowly it edged toward us, growing in scale as it approached. as it came towards the Headland the whole light level around us began to decline until it became quite Twilight like and eventually whole area began to look like evening. There was an incredible feeling of calmness and placidity. A minute later, the birds began to sing - rather delightfully. Presumably because some of them could see the beginning of approaching light. And then slowly it all began to unwind the shadow was discernably moving to our left to the east and the light level began to lift slowly at first five minutes later we were back to full daylight. A lovely experience. I recommend it.

In 1979 I was working at an apiary in central Montana. We were about 5 miles from “town” in a very rural area and we in the umbra of the eclipse. It was quite the experience but since we were in rural plains, we could clearly see the shadow of the sun as the moon moved away and the sun light returned. Then there were the animals. The cows and horses all lowered their heads, the bees returned to their hives and my boss’s dog went nuts. Poor puppy. After the sun was back, the cows and horses seemed to just “shake it off”. The bees were flying around without their normals patterns of flight. As for the poor dog, I don’t know if he ever totally recovered.

I, too, was in Montana for that eclipse. Watching the shadow of the moon coming across the wide valley in front of us was almost a physical thing. I almost ducked as it swept over us. I am still in Montana and I don't think this eclipse is supposed to be very visible here.

Saw my only total solar eclipse in my home town, South England, 1999. It was unreal. Spooky. Humbling.. there really arent words for it. Its something everyone should experience once in their lives. Yes, the shadows of leaves on the ground look like the eclipse happening, cresent shaped shadows, pressure changes, temperature drops, birds go silent, suddenly its night.. and for around 8 minutes, you feel the size of the solar system and the size of things in it.

I guess I'm older. I remember watching a full solar eclipse in the 1970s indirectly via a pinhole and a piece of paper inside a cardboard box. The result seemed impressive at the time. During later years, my takeaway from solar eclipses is how strange everything looks with the different lighting.

You're in for a treat, Sabine. I witnessed the 2017 eclipse, and it was awesome. No picture, no video, of a total eclipse can ever do justice to the experience of actually seeing it. Viewing conditions in Wyoming were PERFECT.

I saw the eclipse in August 1999. We were on gas station on a motorway between Graz and Vienna. Suddenly clouds started coming from West and we all went east to Hungary. They wouldn't just let us over the border so clouds caught us up. When we finally crossed the border a couple of minutes before the eclipse, we knew we wouldn't be able to see the eclipse. Than a sort of a miracle happened. As the solar eclipse started, the clouds just disappeared! It was awesome. I specially liked how animals were behaving.

Great video! I hope you have a wonderful first total eclipse. I saw the 2017 one with my son and we were parked at a horse sanctuary in Idaho. The horses all lay down as if to sleep, about 40 minutes before totality. Birds were roosting too. Quite weird! Another thing about the shadows is that when the Sun is a crescent the sharpness of the shadow depends on whether the object casting it has an angle parallel to the crescent or perpendicular to it. I have a photo of the shadow cast on the ground by one corner of our vehicle during this phase, and it's fairly easy to see the difference: one edge is sharp, and the other, at right angles to the first, is definitely more fuzzy. Amazing stuff.

Your first? Not 1999? I had my shoulder dislocated when a van driver drove into the back of my motorbike at a traffic light in Amiens, had to doss in the town for the night (my schoolboy French was up to "nous sommes completes" for each and every hotel I visited - and I had good CCs too at the time!)... I did end up seeing it after a couple of French motorcycle cops lent me some eclipse shades (which were also out of stock in Amiens). But at least I did see it, unlike the poor sods in Cornwall.

5:56 did anyone else notice a cloud scull moving toward left with its brain cavity brown away? That's how well Sabine explained this stuff.

It is interesting how quickly it cools off during an eclipse.

I saw the 2017 Eclipse in Oregon. The most interesting thing was the appearance of the Corona. During totality it filled the sky. Hoping for good weather for you.

In the 2017 total eclipse (it was partial where I was), my dog was anxious and pacing and they jumped up on the window sill and looked at the sun and kept barking for duration of the eclipse. They know something is up and something is up with the sun. They are smart creatures. So, maybe bring eclipse glasses for dogs during this one.

Have a great time Sabine with your first total eclipse. Many of your YT students won't be there to witness it, but will bow to the religious moment of union btw the moon and sun gods vicariously through Ms. Hossenfelder.

We could see normal sunlight to the distant east and west of us, but pitch black overhead--a very unexpected and interesting sight!

I watched the eclipse in 1999, and yes, the animals were really loud, especially cattle and dogs.

Welcome to the path Sabine! You'll spend the rest of your life as an eclipse nerd.

Our house west of Austin, 4 min 1 sec totality, M/S 1.0561. Hopping for some open skies at 1334 CDT. Wishing you clear skies.

I have never seen a total eclipse but my husband has and he says: „It is a unforgettable, profound, life changing experience one will never forget.“ I so regret that it is not possible for me to see it as I found out too late to make travel arrangements. 😢 I won‘t make that mistake again; I am looking up future eclipses so I can be prepared.

I still remember an annular (0.998) solar eclipse that by luck went right through my city in 1984 when I was just 5 years old. We had a special school recess to be outside to see it (they handed out glasses of course). It was really special, even if not total, and things got pretty dark even with just the disc of the sun visible. I'm envious of those who live in the path of this one (or are able to get into the path), and I hope you all make memories that will also last decades.
