It looks so different in person than in a photograph. It looks so much better in person.
Wish I could see it in person, it's still amazing seeing it via video tho!
@@lava3256 i live in ohio and ours ended.. at 3:15.. looks the same in the video but the vibe was something els
I look better in person too. Well, technically, if that person isn't me 😢
It was incredible to see the Diamond ring.
@@Swift41Where were you? I was at Hoffner Lodge near Miami Whitewater State forest.
I really cant believe how beautiful it was in person
In all the videos I saw all the people seem truly happy like you never see it; people cheering, crying, kissing. It's like a huge reminder that we are just pieces of nothing on a huge sphere rotating around an even larger sphere in the immensity of space that we have no clue why it even exists so you might just as well enjoy the moment.
My kind of people!! It was cool in Dallas too but nobody but me even made a big deal about it so I was excited alone. 😢
we had too many clouds down south couldn't see it
I haven’t seen anything like that since the night I died. I’ve been emotional and inspired ever since, and I don’t know why. It just made me feel incredible. I’m near Texarkana, so in Texas, that makes us neighbors. So consider that we watched it together. Judging by your playlist, I think we have several things in common. Just add one more, total eclipse. I’m trying to figure out when and where to go to see the next one because it moved me that much.
@@fileinterrupted1787 awe. 😟
@@fileinterrupted1787Niagara falls had the most clouds
The worst types of people are those that make others feels dumb for being excited about something. Let people enjoy what they want 🙄 some of you annoying as hell in the comments saying iTs nOt tHaT sErIOuS. Shut up and stay inside then.
Annoying though
Some people are bothered when other people enjoy things
Like tf you hugging each other for lmaooo💀
I was getting that in Dallas. I was so excited and nobody even understood how cool it was… ands how excited it was to me. What a bunch of party poopers. Very sad. 😢
There are worser folks than that, though.
😊 I was there am still enjoying my drinks Party on Mazatlan Playa Beach 🍹🍤
Saludos desde Mérida, pásenla bien hoy.
That's so sweet hahhaha people together enjoying the nature!
AMERICANS? Mexico is america also. Learn the names of the continents.
My eyes are good, no need for glasses!
True its a scam
@@Aqua.man045 You are correct.
No brain 💀
the glasses are to stare at the sun and prepare for the eclipse. Not FOR the eclipse.
Really! I scared I scared! Why do they tell us this? Donald Dump didn't go blind.
What a shame you can't focus on the phenomenon rather than the reporter. You got the image boxes backwards.
Maybe let them see it first, then ask about it after it is over?
Gotta caught the emotions hehe
"This white light ..."😎
I watched a total solar eclipse when I was 9 (maybe 1988 or 1987).
1991
@@coralillo691 I'm talking about my experience abroad on March 18, 1988. I was 9 years old.
cool eclipse in mexico! last time in Mexico in 1991🌑🌙🌚
Correct, I was there!!
Saw it in Colorado today couldn't believe how beautiful it is
Never seen this, BUT ! i have seen the sky explode over my head with northern lights when i visited Greenland years ago.
You did not.
Where your eclipse glasses???
If you're in totality none needed
Yes you don’t need them
What? lol
Snot real, tho.
you do need them you can still see the suns rays on the outer edges
This marvelous event brought out neighbors together. It was so wonderful!😂😮🎉
I seen a total eclipse when I lived in GrandIsland, Nebraska….it is WAY different in person…SO BEAUTIFUL AND UNBELIEVABLE ❤
I live in SC and it got dim here but the one in 2017 was cooler here bc it got dark and all and we seen it well from here. Either way it is absolutely amazing.
Its usually gets cooler when eclipse come & the weather changes because temperatures will drop closer to the dew point. Winds will decrease because of the decrease I'll lives in CT its was cooler
Watching a live solar eclipse 🌘 is amazing. Thanks to NASA 🤝 !
Yes they created the sun
Yes they created the sun
Thanks to GOD alone!!!!!
WTH dis NASA have to do with the solar eclipse? Do tell, genius!
Thanks to NASA ???
It’s amazing
The most beautiful thing u ever seen that guy from the movie apocalypto would disagree
Es un orgullo ser de Mazatlán señores...proud to be Mazatleco !! 😁
JAJAJAJAJAJA
The actual fun part is the light on the ground surface. As the sun crescent gets very slim, the light on the ground turns into a somehow eerie grey shade for a few minutes, then a cold white a few minutes, then dark, then cold white and that grey shade again. The light on the ground it's almost normal brightness during this time but if you look up at the sun, its light is *extremely* intense cold white, much more than its normal brightness. That's the part where you need special glasses if you want to observe the sun. In normal time. sun light on the ground is warm - a slightly yellow white, but during the slim crescent it turns into a cold white - just like the light from LED 5000k bulb. That's the interesting part. This change in light color on the ground lasts about 20 minutes. Once the crescent gets slightly larger, the light on the ground gets normal again. The whole overlapping lasts quite longer, over 1h or so but only about 20 min are interesting to see. Seen in Montreal 2024, sky pretty clear
Jesus Loves you guys! Don't be afraid to talk to him, He would love to hear from you, He thinks about you everyday! God Bless🙌
Yes!! For those who don’t know, Jesus will fulfill you more than anything in this world, I speak from experience (from when i did Romans 10:9-13), he loves you and wants to be in a meaningful (not romantic) relationship with you. :) “that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:9-13 KJV “and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.” Mark 1:15 KJV If you want proof that Jesus and the Bible are true look a documentary called “Ron Wyatt discoveries 2022” on KZhead and a KZhead channel called Expedition Bible. They both examine archeological sites and discoveries that prove the Bible, and even reference secular sources. (Just don’t convert to 7th day Adventism after watching the documentary) And lastly if you don’t know the gospel and want to be saved search up “abc’s of Salvation Teenmissions” on Google and it should be the first or second result. When you click on it read the whole thing, and do what it says and have faith in Jesus while you are doing it, do not doubt, and if it is hard for you to do what it says, ask Jesus to help you, have faith that he will, and *he will.* God Bless :)
Nice to hear from somebody that "gets it".
I saw this thing right here in Kentucky just today and I can say without a doubt you didn't need to go there to see it🇺🇲👀
Yea but you're also not watching it from a tropical beach resort where you can enjoy Mexican food and alcohol nonstop. Happy solar eclipse day, we didn't get the full one like you guys did out west.
@@HandsomeGuy24 respectfully touche hope you have a blessed time👍
How many people went blind today?
I did, but just for a second 😂😂
If it’s a total solar eclipse you don’t need glasses
All of them will i bet! They're mexicans, what do they know? nothing obviously!
Look at them all, looking without protection!
I was thinking the same thing 🙈
In totality you can look with bare eyes.
They don't need protection during totality.
Thats no problem, provided you wait with looking until the sun are actually eclipsed. But of course if you are going to look at the sun from the moment the moon start to block it, and until it have passed by, then for sure you will need protection. Personally i would only be interested in that 1 minute or so when the eclipse are full.
You can glance at the sun even when it’s fully out for a solid second or two. Without damage. I assume you can look at the eclipse for a solid 3-4 seconds before it destroys your eyes. The warning is for people who bought cheap glasses thinking they can stare for minutes on end till it’s over.
I'm in Bethesda, MD. It was so disappointing. There was some long shadows and the sun was partially covered. It made me wish that I'd seen the total eclipse (of the heart).
Wasn’t Bethesda the name of a video game developer or publisher?
@@mexidrawit is, Bethesda(the company behind Fallout, Elder Scrolls) is based on the city of the same name: Bethesda, Maryland.
Ok now get back to work this aint twilight
Start playing Eye in the Sky by Alan Parson Project
Sign of hope and signs .❤
Mazatlán, Sinaloa.
No offense to our fellow Americans but he was reporting from the boring site with them, at the same time the beach was exploding with cheering and screaming and partying, there’s a guy filming from a top of a skyscraper and you can hear the screaming, amazing.
I like how something so awesome and once in a lifetime, last only 4 minutes and a newsreporter asking me to answer😖😖 i would prolly cuss
I was there. It is like being in a science fiction movie. The camera can't capture what you see with your eye. You should be there for the full experience.
They say you need to wear protection when looking at the eclipse so I put on a condom.
😂
That a good one lol😅😅😅
Lol! 😂😂😂
Good man
Sure don't need an eclipse baby. It's bad luck
bro said: 🌕🌘🌑🌒🌕
Can't wait for Sicilia and Lampedusa 2027 😍🇮🇹
am i the only one that lives in texas and they didn't see it cause the clouds were covering it and it was raining?
Life México 🇲🇽
Qué?
In Texas it looked like a giant eyeball, so it wasn’t fully covered like that when it got dark here
I was in Ingram Texas and the clouds obscured the eclipse yesterday and it was a complete disappointment; there was so much low three layers of clouds that we only glimpsed the totality for a few seconds but that was it. Only experienced near darkness of the moon's shadow; 4 minutes 30 seconds of it. It was too cloudy for southern Texas for people to see the eclipse but they only got brief darkness out of it.
Why the interviewed people have special sunglasses in hands but looking to the eclipse not using them???? 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Eklips totally fake.
You don't need special glasses for the few minutes of total eclipse, only for the partial eclipse periods.
@grahamnorris7315 lmao you can't even spell it correctly
I would have enjoyed this more if you were shining lights in people’s faces to show them. We wanna see how hard it got! Totally missing the effect having to light up people for the shot
have they never turned off a light
Aceito pix
Look into the light Carol Anne
My eyes!!!!! 👀👀👀👀
❤ good
Leave the people alone! 😂 They want to enjoy a once in a lifetime experience (for many of them).
Falto la banda como música de fondo
Where it starts but not where it ends...over the ocean? In Europe?
Thank you for saying Main Land North America
"Once in a life-time". Do these people not know the frequency of this?
Every 30 years in the USA and Mexico. Don’t be a downer, not everyone has seen it before, or will see it after.
@@MarCapa-ed5uv LOL...Wrong.
@@MarCapa-ed5uv You're pulling stuff out of your nether orifice. Don't you remember the partial eclipse that president Agent Orange looked directly into a few years ago without protection? Eclipses happen fairly often but most occur near the Poles and in oceanic areas.
@deanronson6331 you are correct these people are really clueless😂
Mazatlan the land of the last Aztecs, the land of the deer 🦌. This place saved the Aztec/&/Mayan ball game, it was found by people playing it in Mazatlan 🌞
It is a total eclipse. You don’t need glasses.
Wow wow wow mashallah
We saw nothing here in albuquerque
Bc New Mexico wasn’t in the totality path, you prolly could see the moon with proper glasses, but wasn’t close to get dark there.
Look at all this smart ppl staring at the eclipse with bare eyes when it's been issued long before not to do it. Just cause it's dark don't mean it's safe.
Show us the eclipse when people talk?!
No eclipse glasses?
I saw my first eclipse in '78 or '79 as a 9-10 year old. Even as a kid, I knew it was just the moon casting its shadow. My friends and I peeked at it cautiously and thought it was pretty neat. Today's will be my third. Of course I will go outside to take a peek but for the life of me, I do not understand the hype and almost hysteria of so many. There's absolutely nothing incredible about it. The moon passes in front of the sun and thousands jump on planes to be in the shadow for a minute or two and lose their minds lmao.
You're probably just cooler than everyone else right is that why you ended a text comment with "lmao"
Being in an aircraft measurable extends the eclipse. The current record was by Concord that managed to stay in the shadow for 74 minutes. Current aircraft should be able to extend it to at least 20 minutes
Crazy people
America's are aloud into Mexico???!!! WHAT, THAT IS CRAZY 😧😧😧😧😧
Why won’t they point the camera up!!!!
I broke they camera.
انه من ايات الله يخوف بها عباده ليرجعوا عن كفرهم
no, its just the movement of the planets and stars my friend
That s right , the solar éclipse is a great sign from God to the humanity سنريهم اياتنا في الافاق وفي أنفسهم حتى يتبين لهم أنه الحق
@@MaliBrizi نعم اخي صدق الله العظيم
Tears in your eyes,? Can't see tomorrow
Exactly😢
😂
How come people watching without eye protection what's wrong ???
During totality no glasses are required. Before and after totality glasses are needed. The video was filmed during totality.
Pan the camera around toward the sky and the sun so we viewers can see what’s going, for goodness sake! Nope, the camera’s pointed just at the news person and gawkers. Jeez
Why are people crying!?!? Wtf????
It's for the camera
😂😂
It hurts!
It’s spiritual!!! These eclipses bring so much energy! Some good and positive and also destruction. 🤷♂️
Totality junkies are my favorite
What of God signs? , it shows the greatness and power of God ، glory be to God , the creator
Yall excited don't even know what it is smh
was it a total eclipse not sure though
Truly the work of Allah swt. Good is the producer of this and is showing how great he is, glory be to the truly ONE and ONLY, with no partners of any kind! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
None for Houston 😡
We are US citizens and citizens of the United States. Everyone in North America Central America South America the Americas the American continent is an American like Asia are Asians Africa are Africans and Europe are Europeans
Im just looking forward to no more annoying stories about the eclipse
As Archie Bunka would say, Whoopty do
Jacky Gleason "Whoopy to do! "Lol
They saved $1.00 by not having solar shades 30k for eye surgery next week
It is literally not a hilarious moment to enjoy this solar eclipse it is a sign of a boom day believers can understand this kind of act from God
It's amazing but I'm not sure how much they'll enjoy it in the future when they lose a big part of their vision.
woow😮😮
I was watching the total Eclipse on TV and a crazy girl with wild hair came rushing out of a well and attacked me. We're dating now.
Us mexicans believe the sun is our god in a way. Signs of a new beginning like god said let their be light it's a way he speaks to us!
Soy mexicano y no, no creo en eso. Gracias por hablar por todos, zoquete.
Shouldn't those people be using those glasses for protection!?!?!?🤔🤔
Not for totality phase, it’s safe on those minutes.
Les van a poner música de banda y van a empezar a chillar por otra cosa
It's a sign of God. Overwhelming
No traen lentes?????? 😊
Where are the glasses
During totality no glasses are required
@py8554 Correct
Seeing them not wearing ANY PROTECTION just gives me ANXIETY.
you don’t need glasses when it’s in totality. The moon is covering the sun.
@@anonymoushuman8443 Wouldn’t be surprised if i don’t hear back from you, again.💀💀
I thought ppl were supposed to have glasses on or it would damage your eyes.
It’s safe while full totality phase.
🇲🇽 ☀️ 🍺😎
Their seeking with the naked eye.
During totality seeing with naked eyes is ok
Why are they looking at it with naked eyes!?
Bc it’s completely safe while totality phase.
Lots of Americans: México is very Dangerous The cartels, so scary! Also Americans: Let's go to Mazatlán 😂 😂 😂
WHY NO GLASSES OMG 😂
It’s safe while totality
Ok. All that’s left is for us to become a better Humans. Let’s be increíble,beautiful,amazing. Humans to each other
Nice to hear from somebody who "gets it".
Why are they are staring straight to the sky with no eye protection? 🙄 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Once totality is achieved you no longer need eye protection
Yaaawwwn uhm what happened?
