Even though the youngest children in my family are far beyond fairytale truths and being older now, are of a different opinion, we all still rejoice in seeing Santa's sleigh coursing across the night sky on Christmas Eve. For a magical moment, we let go and marvel in the memories. The most powerful experience was about a decade ago when we all skipped down to the lower field at home which was dusted with fresh snow a~sparkling in the moonlight to boot. "Look, look you two, up there, d'you see the shiny thing moving towards us?" "Where? Wh... Oh yes. Wow! Yes. Is it Father Christmas and Rudolph daddy? Is it?" What do you think? Yeeaaahhhh! I can see Father Christmas, I can see Father Christmas.

Since moving to southern New Mexico, this will be the fourth eclipse I can watch: 2012, 2017, 2023, and now 2024. I was outside knitting a shawl when the last eclipse started. Surrounded by 100+ year old pecan trees, there were gazillions of crescent images coming through the leaves onto the ground and walls. I wondered if the eyelets (holes) in the shawl would give me images as well. *YES!!!* *Tons of dime sized crescents!* This is by far the geekiest thing I've ever experienced.

Hi Alex. An annular eclipse is not the same as a partial eclipse. An annular eclipse is a special eclipse where the moon is further away from earth in its orbit - the apogee - and it does not cover the whole of the sun but leaves a thin ring or annulus around the edge.

A clarification on what an annular eclipse is, more specifically it is also known as "the ring of fire". Technically, an annular eclipse is a "partial eclipse" however, it does not look anything like a regular partial eclipse where the shape resembles more like a "packman" shape to a crescent shape than a thin circular ring which is the definitive characteristic shape of an annular eclipse.

2:08 there is something special about an eclipse on earth. That’s because no other cosmic bodies are as perfectly aligned & designed to function in the way ours do.

Lastly, exactly 108 earth diameters fit across the diameter of the sun. Someone built the moon.

Ah, this makes me want to play Kerbal Space Program again. I still remember the eclipse 1999 over Europe. That was a weird experience to see it become so dark so suddenly.

Maybe do a video on the sensitivity of telescopes? The detection of Uranus's rings by occultation brought home to me how mind-bendingly sensitive they must be.

Your videos are too good as always, I never knew that the blood (red) moon was real, I saw the blue moon a few years ago, that was soo cool. The video you showed of the dark side of the moon moving across the earth looked like the Death Star orbiting us.. I’m still going to look out for the eclipse on April 8th even though I’m in the UK and won’t see it properly, I want to see the devil horns, I never seen anything like that before..

I don't remember much from 30 years ago, but the annular eclipse in 1994 I saw with my family is still clear in my mind. A lot has changed since then, but the opportunity to see a total eclipse all together with them is wonderful 🌎🌑☀️

General relativity and the first evidence of gravitational lensing in 1919 was a pretty important use of an eclipse.
