It was doing loopdiloops in an " epicycle " fashion to try and stay in totality. I also detailed the plane in my highlights time lapse footage here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m8yqia5nyNjMgn0.html

I live in southern NH and drove north to Pittsburg, NH to see it. Literally one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen. Being able to see solar plasma jets peeking out behind the moon with my own unaided eyes and being able to see the corona of the sun was breathtaking. Totality lasted about 3 minutes and it went way too fast!!! I was so bummed out when it was over but it was an experience I will never forget. I’m 24, and I had never seen one before, so to say my mind was blown is an understatement. On top of that, it was a beautiful, perfectly clear day without a singular cloud in sight. I found a nice, quiet, small parking lot with only around 15 people or so, and hearing the collective cheers and gasps as totality occurred only added to the experience. I’m so glad I was able to catch this amazing event, as the next one in America won’t be until 2044!!

II just want to say congratulations for getting not only the best footage on the entire internet of the 2024 Eclipse, but also accurately stating that "You can see the prominence" at 6:34 -- when EVERYONE including most of the media was calling it a solar flare (which was inaccurate - big surprise from the media, right?). You... sir, have won the internet. I dont' care what anyone else says. Edit: I'm in central texas, and also was in totality for slightly over 4min. It was lovely.

I'm truly humbled. You give me too much credit. There are amateur astronomers with far better camera and telescope skills than me. Check out Astronomy Live's channel. He totally crushed the eclipse with S class footage and even caught Earthshine. AL is about as professional as you can get with amateur footage.

Those solar flairs/prominences on the bottom were just awesome. That was one major difference between this one and 2017. 2017 was very ghostly and whispy. 2024 had more visible features. Both of them were amazing, though…there’s nothing that can prepare you for the overwhelming, existential awe involved with witnessing a total solar eclipse in person. In a weird way, it’s the closest thing I have to “going to church”…it brings you closer to the ultimate reality of your small, but *incredibly* privileged position in the cosmos.

@kyzercube 2 ай бұрын

This was my first TSE, but one thing I realized quickly was that the outer corona features didn't look like the typical images and videos of earlier total eclipses that I've seen. They would typically have bell shapes and features known as the " Roman Helmet ", but the outer corona in this eclipse ( particularly the solar winds ) was way more " spikey " than any video or image I'd ever seen before.

@ShadowriverUB 2 ай бұрын

note that solar flares are diffrent type, when magnetic field shorts it cause high energy explosive event, they usally happen on active region (which you see on photosphere as sunspots) they can also happen on prominance or filiment ejection. But the effects of flare can be visible even without anything on rim, the can csuse huge ejections which would be more spectacular then this also they usally shack up corona as magnetic fields get shacked up during the event. Also those event due to scale are super slow from earth point of view, sun is stail if you look at it in real time, you can see those prominances not moving at all.

We saw this from Durango Mexico. When we saw it the prominence wasn't as big yet, but still visible in closeups even just with our cell phones. The sun is 1.4 million km across, so that thing must have been over 100,000 km high. And it visibly changes over the course of the totality. Man. Just inspiring.
