@jamie82499 Before it reaches 'totality', i.e. the moon completely blocks the sun, it is too bright and yes the sun can blind your eyes. You will need to use a special 'solar filter' used in astronomy or a high grade welding glass to filter the sunlight. I watched the onset of the eclipse through a solar filter and had another solar filter covering the camera lens until it got within seconds of totality. It is safe to look where the sun is during totality.
@jamie82499 - The video is segmented but each segment is real-time. You can tell one segment from another. It took 2-3 hours from the time when the moon began to cover the sun to the time when the moon completely cover the sun ("totality"). When it is within a few minutes to totality, where the sun was would still be very bright, but all around you looked like early evening. Then in a matter of seconds, the silver-looking sun ray disappeared and the iconic image of solar eclipse emerged.
@spongebob95ful - Yes you can. It's just the moon blocking the sun light and you happen to be in the shadow when it reaches totality. It'd have been too bright if the moon hasn't block out the sun light completely so not before nor after totality.
if i woke up at 12 aclock at noon and the sun was gone.... i'd die!
