@KillBaddBugz Thanks for commenting. It's true, of course. The video footage is unedited with the exception of replacing the original sound. I recommend you to visit the website "eclipse . gsfc . nasa . gov / solar . html" (paste this link in the address bar, but be sure to delete all empty spaces) and see if there's a solar eclipse anytime soon in your area. It's a beautiful privilege to witness one!

[TheXeno2000]

anyways whats the song?

Or maybe its now a year after the

video has been uploaded then

u forgetted it?

[GicaTractoristu]

@TheXeno2000 Thank you for the comments. What country are you from? There might be an eclipse there - or close by - that I may be able to point out to you.

About the song: you can just read the description to the video and find out - but I'll make it easy for you and repeat myself. It's Enya - "Flora's Secret".

@GicaTractoristu im from Malaysia

@TheXeno2000 OK then, you might just be able to see an eclipse after all, but you'll have to wait a bit longer.

There will be a total eclipse of the Sun on 9 March 2016 passing south of Malaysia, through Sumatra (Indonesia).

There will also be an annular eclipse of the Sun on 26 December 2019, again passing through Sumatra. An annular eclipse is one where the Moon disk is not large enough to cover the whole Sun, which during the eclipse will look like a ring.

w00t this is s0 nice man i wish in my c0untry i can watch it :D

[TayLindzAshx3]

is this fake? cuz it looks fake....

[GicaTractoristu]

@TayLindzAshx3 What is it that looks fake to you? It's a film of the total solar eclipse, no editing. Have you ever seen a solar eclipse with your own eyes?

If you have, then you must know this is not fake. If you have not, do a google.com search for 'nasa solar eclipse' and you'll reach a site of all eclipses: maybe you'll find one that comes in your living area. Do yourself a favor and go watch one. Not only will you end up being smarter, but it's a privileged sight.

What is that thing that formed under the eclips on 4:40? I have a feeling it is a plane. Anyway, SUPER interesting!

[GicaTractoristu]

@BlazingWind200 Thanks for commenting. No, it is not a plane, but simply the reflection of the sun in the camera lens. You will notice the same pattern of light starting at 0:38 and ending at 0:55 just below the sun.
