00:00I have no words to describe that. You should come here to see it. Whenever you have the chance to
00:08go to Eclipse, please take that chance. You'll enjoy it.
00:12There's a real sense of joy and amazement at every solar eclipse and this is my third and each one
00:20has been different in its own way.
00:22Really impressive to see something in the sky you've never seen and see it right on the horizon. To be
00:29able to compare it to trees and houses and everything was really spectacular.
00:35The other part of my joy was seeing the absolute joy from everyone else around me. It was really good
00:43to share that and see so many people just gather around with interest on what's going on with technical equipment
00:49and what's going on in the sky.
00:51Just in nature and in nature. So, for me, a phenomenally great experience. I gotta go to the next one.
00:58Let's go to Africa.
00:59This is my first time seeing an eclipse and it's a wonderful experience. It's very beautiful. It's amazing. I have
01:06the cold in my arms. I have the cold in my blood because you see in the sky an unusual
01:11phenomenon.
01:12So, if you had the opportunity to see it, go to see it.
01:15Me ha encantado. Me ha parecido una cosa maravillosa. Maravillosa.
01:20It is amazing. It's the most wonderful thing you can see. Like anytime, anywhere. Like, I mean, if you have
01:30a chance, please, please, please, please go see it.
01:33The experience was great. It was amazing. Amazing and unique. A very good experience for the people.
01:44You can socialize with other people. Treat it like a family. Yeah, it was great.
01:50Well, we have just got done watching the 2026 Total Sailor Eclipse from Valeria La Buena. And I've got to
01:56tell you, it was the most incredible thing I've seen in my entire life.
01:59I remember my managing editor, Brett Tingley, said it's going to feel eldritch, like it really shouldn't be happening. And
02:06that's exactly what it was.
02:07It stroked the lizard part of your brain that just tells you that this shouldn't be real. And you could
02:13put a hundred me's in front of a hundred typewriters for a hundred years, and I would never be able
02:17to fully explore that experience for you.
02:19So I would just advise if you can go out and see one for yourself.
