you wrote: Stunningly beautiful astronomy video! Thanks so much for adding it to my Astronomy Group..

it's a pleasure. there's another one called 'Converastions after totality' where some frank African views are aired by the students. The clip still needs editing tho.

best thing to do is subscribe to my videos on the Cognition Factor channel,

kind regards,
