The total eclipse of the Sun, seen over the Canadian Arctic, August 1, 2008. Photographed from an altitude of 27,000 feet from a location 140 km east of Cambridge Bay, Nunavut. Movie by Alan Dyer, taken with a Sony HD video camera.
This movie takes us from just after mid-totality through the second diamond ring, past third contact and into the partial phases. Notice the dramatic and sharply defined edge of Moon's shadow departing the scene as it moves off the Sun to the left (west) and as it does so, the diamond ring appears. After this, the shadow moved off away from us and headed north toward the Pole and over the Pole into Russia and China. We were the first in the world to see this eclipse -- 8 of us Canadians and two pilots on board a KingAir aircraft out of Cambridge Bay. We flew out about 2:30 am and intercepted the path and the shadow nearly on the centreline at almost precisely at mid-eclipse.

The total eclipse of the Sun, seen over the Canadian Arctic, August 1, 2008. Photographed from an altitude of 27,000 feet from a location 140 km east of Cambridge Bay, Nunavut. Movie by Alan Dyer, taken with a Sony HD video camera. This movie takes us from the start of totality and the first diamond ring, through to past mid-totality. Notice the dramatic and sharply defined edge of Moon's shadow coming in from the right (behind the plane) and catching up to the Sun to begin totality.

The July 21, 2009 total eclipse of the Sun, as seen from the bow of the ship, aboard the m/s Paul Gauguin, at sea in the Northern Cook Islands in the South Pacific. This location placed us near the end of the path with the Sun 7° above the horizon in the early evening about to set. This is real-time, not time-lapse, shot originally in 1080p HD video with a Canon 5DMkII camera and 16-35mm lens at 35mm moderate wide-angle setting. Notice Mercury above the Sun. And the brightening of the horizon below the Sun as the far edge of the lunar shadow approaches us and rises to meet the Sun as totality ends with a diamond ring.
This movie takes us from just past mid-totality, through "third contact," to into the partial phases and sounds of celebrating eclipse chasers.
Note that for us on this side of the dateline, the eclipse was on July 21, not July 22 as it will be officially listed and as it was for people in China, the most popular location for viewing this eclipse.

The July 21, 2009 total eclipse of the Sun, as seen from the bow of the ship, aboard the m/s Paul Gauguin, at sea in the Northern Cook Islands in the South Pacific. This location placed us near the end of the path with the Sun 7° above the horizon in the early evening about to set. This is real-time, not time-lapse, shot originally in 1080p HD video with a Canon 5DMkII camera and 16-35mm lens at 16mm ultra-wide angle setting. Note the dark cone of the Moon's shadow, with the Sun at the apex of the shadow cone. The shadow came toward us from the direction of the Sun.
The loudest comments are my own — this was a stunning eclipse.
This movie takes us from before the start of totality, through "second contact," and to past mid-eclipse.
Note that for us on this side of the dateline, the eclipse was on July 21, not July 22 as it will be officially listed and as it was for people in China, the most popular location for viewing this eclipse.
