00:00I was risking blindness yeah yeah yeah I'm an idiot like this this it's like
00:06occasionally not like staring at it the whole time because that would be painful
00:11it was like kind of like awe-inspiring it didn't live to my expectations to be
00:15honest I expected it to be a bit of a blackout even for just a minute and it
00:19wasn't we wanted to see it because the next one's in 2018 well we won't be here
00:23by then yeah but it wasn't as spectacular as we thought it might be
00:27we have our glasses from 1999 these glasses are from 20 what did we say 27
00:33years old and they're immaculous that's just absolutely mad to experience the
00:40disappearing of the Sun 1999 was the last time I was about this big brilliant
00:45really great and very cool to see the Sun disappear like it's wild when I walked
00:51outside and I had a look I couldn't see anything it just looked like it was
00:53slightly darker I even took my phone I tried to take a picture but there
00:57wasn't much you could see I guess it's kind of cool but it wasn't really a big
01:00deal for me personally just the fact that like the light shifts down all around you
01:05is like a remarkably humbling experience when you realize that it's like the moon
01:09passing in front of the Sun puts things in perspective that we're just a
01:14a speck of dust on this rock and a vast expansive universe
