highlights of total eclipse

This is from Slooh with views from the Faroe Islands and Svalbard. Absolutely amazing pictures. When they removed the filter during the total eclipse, they received pictures that the astronomers are saying are unprecedented.

When they hit the total eclipse in Svalbard and remove the filters, well, it's beyond amazing. They explain the terms but they're pretty obvious when you see it, like "the diamond ring"

As much as I need the sleep, and even though I wasn't able to watch it from my window, I am so glad I watched it live. And these guys just got you more excited since they were so excited themselves. Especially the astronomer.

Enjoy!

Looking forward to taking your test later. Just haven't slept yet so a test has to wait.

Enjoy the solar/lunar show!

(filmed in a 100 mph crosswind, so not steady; but they removed their filter earlier, so they got the Bailey's Beads and diamond ring at the start of totality; and, unlike the YouTube link in the OP, the video doesn't freeze at the moment totality ends):
