>> TONY, WE'RE HERE IN YOUR
HOUSE, THE
HAYDEN PLANETARIUM. YES, THIS
ACTUAL EVENT HAS GOT TO BE LIKE YOUR
SUPER BOWL
A LITTLE BIT, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE
IT DOES ALL OF ITS OWN ADVERTISING HAD
THE
UNIVERSE IS ABOUT TO TALK TO US.
THAT'S RIGHT. WITH A TOTAL SOLAR
ECLIPSE.
SO WHEN WE DESIGNED THE ROSE
CENTER FOR EARTH AND SPACE, THERE'S A BIG
FEAR,
RIGHT? AND THERE'S A HUGE PLAZA
HERE. THE AUTHOR ROSS TERRACE AND WE
SAID, WHY
DON'T WE HAVE THE PLAZA HAVE A RELATIONSHIP TO THE SPEAR? AND SO WHAT WE DECIDED WAS LET'S
TURN
THE PLAZA INTO AN ECLIPSE
SHADOW, RIGHT? OKAY. SO RIGHT NOW WE ARE
IN THE
DARK IN PART OF THE SHADOW WHICH
WILL HOLD THE UMBRELLA, THE UMBRA
OMBRE ON.
AND IT'S IT'S IT'S IT'S MORE
FAMILIAR THAN YOU MIGHT THINK HUMBER MEAN
SHADOW
IN LATIN AND ANOTHER WORD. >> FROM THAT WAS AN UMBRELLA
UMBRELLA.
SO >> THE SPHERE, THE ILLUMINATED
FROM FAR
IN THE OTHER SIDE CAST A SHADOW
THAT CONVERGES DOWN TO A POINT.
RIGHT.
AND WE ARE IN THE DARK IN THE
GRANITE REPRESENTING THE UMBRA RIGHT
NOW, THE PARTIAL FACE TOUGH WHEN THE
MOON IS
NOT COMPLETELY BLOCK THE SUN BUT
STILL BLOCKING SOME OF IT, RIGHT? YOU
KNOW, A
LITTLE BIT OF A SHADOW, BUT NOT
A COMPLETE SHADOW. YEAH, THAT'S
CALLED
UPEND HUMBER. WE REPRESENT THAT
HERE, TOO. THAT'S THE DIFFERENT COLOR.
GRANTED, IT'S LIKE A GREAT THIS
DARK, RIGHT? THIS SORT OF MIDDLE GRAY
COMING
OFF ON EACH SIDE HERE. THAT'S THE PARTIAL SHADOW,
RIGHT, THE
PARTIAL ECLIPSE. AND THEN BEYOND
THAT, THERE'S NO SHADOW IT ALL AND
MISSES YOU
COMPLETELY. AND THAT'S JUST THE BOWS THE WISCONSIN LAW HAS.
SO HERE
WE HAVE THE 3 PARTS OF THE
SHADOWS, RIGHT CAPTURED IN THIS PLAZA.
SO, OKAY.
SO TALK ABOUT FOLKS WHO WILL BE
IN THE PIN NUMBER. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE
CITIES
THAT WILL? WE'LL GET SOME OF
THIS BUT NOT ALL. YEAH. SO WE DO. THIS IS
THE
21ST CENTURY. PEOPLE HAVE CARS
OR TRAINS, PLANES, AUTOMOBILES,
JUST
CAPTURE. SHE CENTER TOOK WHAT I
SAID. WELL, HE'S GOING TO JUST JUST
COME ON
NOW COME AUGUST. THIS IS NOT 100
YEARS AGO, RIGHT WHERE WE'VE GOT A
HORSE AND
BUGGY. YEAH. AND THEIR LOT OF
BIG CITIES. YEAH. IN THAT PATH THAT
WE ALEX
IS THE FIRST DALLAS IS A BIG
ONE. INDIANAPOLIS. IF YOU ADD UP THE
POPULATION CENTERS OVER WHICH
THIS ECLIPSE WILL PASS, MORE PEOPLE MAY WITNESS THIS
ECLIPSE
THAT HAVE WITNESSED ANY THE
CLIPS IN THE HISTORY OF CIVILIZATION. OH, MY
GOSH.
HE HAS SUCH CRAZY THE UNIVERSE
AFFECTING WOUTER AND CIVILIZATION. >> WELCOME TO THE UNIVERSE. WOW. >> BEAUTIFUL. OKAY. I LOVE. HOW
DOES
THIS WORK? EXCEPT I LET ME GET A COUPLE OF WORDS
TO BE
RIGHT BACK. WE'RE GETTING OR
UPSET. ALL RIGHT. WHAT YOU WANT TO EARTH? OK? HOLD
ON
EARTH. OKAY. OKAY. AND I GOT TO
MOVE. OKAY. SO THESE ARE INCORRECT
SIZE
RELATIVE TO EACH OTHER. I DIDN'T
REALIZE THE MOON WAS THAT BIG. WE ARE.
WE'VE GOT
A BAD. YOU ALL ARE ONE OF THE
BIGGEST NAMES IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM. WOW,
OK?
SO HERE'S HOW IT WORKS. SO FIRST
AND THE MOVE WAYS HAVE A SHADOW IN
SPACE, RIGHT?
ALLIES, ALL OF THAT FRONT. THE
MOON'S ORBIT AROUND THE EARTH IS NOT
ALWAYS
LINED UP WITH THE SUN, OK?
THAT'S TIPPED. SO HERE'S THE SHADOW. IT
MISSES.
THE ARE SURE OKAY BECOMES COULD
BE DOWN HERE. THE SHADOW MISSES THE
EARTH AGAIN
EVERY NOW AND THEN EVERY COUPLE
YEARS SOMEWHERE ON EARTH, THE SHADOW
WE'LL
COME RIGHT ON TO SERVE RIGHT
HERE IN SPACE. SO THEN THE SUN, WHEN THE WAY WAS JUST PASSING BY
WANT TO
BE DEFINED? IT'S SO FUNNY,
BECAUSE YOUR MAMA SAYS YOU'RE SO BRIGHT.
THAT'S WHAT
SHE CALLED. USAA, WHO EXACTLY. SO. SO WHEN THE SUN
SHOULD BE
JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME WORKING
SO YOU LIT UP ON THE MOON IS LIT UP ON
THE
OTHER SIDE FROM EARTH. YOU CAN
EVEN SEE THE MOVIE BECAUSE HE'S LIVE ON
THE OTHER
SIDE. BUT YOU CAN SEE THE SUN
AND AS THE MOON ORBITS THE EARTH, IT BLOCKS
THE
SUNLIGHT. THAT'S PROBABLY ONE
AREA WILL HAVE TOTAL BLACK IN ONE AREA AND
IT
MOVES ACROSS EARTH'S SURFACE. SO THAT'S WHY THE CLIP HAS A
BEGINNING
AND AN END. BUT HERE'S SOMETHING
ELSE. THAT'S REALLY COOL. OKAY. OKAY.
WHEN
THAT ECLIPSE OCCURS, IT'S COMING
ACROSS NORTH AMERICA, RIGHT? OK? SO
THERE WE
HAVE IT RIGHT THERE IN NORTH
AMERICA. SO HERE'S THE MOON COMING AROUND
THE
BLOCKS. THE SUN, RIGHT? YOU CAN
USE HAS TO STAY WHERE IT IS. YOU DON'T
KNOW.
MOVED. YOU DON'T MOVE MEMBER.
YOU DO MOVE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ALL
RIGHT.
IF YOU WILL BE THE SUN, YOU'VE
GOT LIGHT STATIONS. MANY OF THEM. HERE'S
OUR
ANCHOR. SO THE MOVE COMES, KNOW,
WATCH. OKAY. THE EARTH IS ALSO ROTATING IN THE SAME DIRECTION. THE MOON
IS GOING
AROUND THE EARTH. SO WE WE SWEEP WE EXPERIENCE MORE ECLIPSE TIME
THAN WE
OTHERWISE WOULD BECAUSE WE'RE
MOVING WITH THE SHADOW. THE SHOWERS
GOING ABOUT
2000 MILES AN HOUR ACROSS ITS
CRAZY FAST. AN ARREST AT THIS LATITUDE
IS
GOING ABOUT 800 MILES. I WASN'T
REALLY A DARK, DARK DARK LIKE ART NYTIMES
PARK.
WHEN THIS COMES UP. WHEN IT'S
IT'S NOT THE STARS COME OUT. THE PLANETS
ARE IN
VIEW AT ANIMAL START BEHAVING
WEIRDLY, ESPECIALLY THE HUMANS, TOO NOT
EVERYBODY
IS GOING TO TOTAL BLACKNESS. IF
YOU'RE IN THE PARTIAL SHADOWS CALLED UP
AND I'M
GOING TO GET IT WILL GET LIKE
TWILIGHT. YEAH, NO, NO, NOT EVEN THAT
DARK.
92 A LITTLE BIT OF SUN IS A LOT
OF SOME A GOOD EXAMPLE. YOU CAN DO THE MATH. YOU CAN
CHECK ME ON
THIS. I WAS ABSOLUTELY IF YOU
RESPOND TO, HE'S GOT ALL IF YOU ARE 99% COVERAGE, THE MOON COVERS 99% OF
THE
SOME ONE PERCENT SLIVER STILL
REMAINS. THAT'S THE LIGHT EQUIVALENT OF
10,000
FULL MOONS. WOW. IF YOU'RE
OUTSIDE OF THE SHADOW AND LOOKING AT THE
SUN,
DEFINITELY WANT TO WEAR THE
GLASSES. IF YOU'RE IN THE PAN UMBRA THAT
YOU WANT
TO WEAR THE GLASSES BECAUSE THE
SUN IS STILL SHINING BRIGHT, THE MOMENT
THE SUN
DISAPPEARS, THE THE MOON IS
COMPLETELY COVERING IT. WANT TO COMPLETELY
COVER.
YOU TAKE OFF THE GLASSES IN
BASKETS, THE UMBRA THAT YOU ARE IN THE
NUMBER AND
YOU CAN YOU CAN BASK IN THE GOAL
ALL THE SOFT GLOW OF THE SOLAR CORONA,
THE OUTER
ATMOSPHERE OF THE SUN THAT YOU
WOULD NOT NORMALLY SEE BECAUSE THE SUN,
ITS OFFICE
SO BRIGHT. SO IF YOU CAN MOVE A
LITTLE BIT INTO THE TOTALITY, DO IT AND THEN IN A NATIONAL EVENTS
HAPPENING
LIKE A COMMENT WE DEEM. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU. SO DURING TOTALITY
TALLIED
ABOUT 4 MINUTES TO TELL IF
THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES WHEN THE SKY DARKENS,
YOU SEE
STARS, YOU SEE CONSTELLATIONS
THAT YOU WOULD NORMALLY SEE 6 MONTHS AWAY
FROM
NOW YOU'LL SEE AUTUMN STARS IN THE SKY. WOW, 6 MONTHS OUT OF
PHASE
BECAUSE THEY'RE BLOCKED BY
SUNLIGHT THESE DAYS. OKAY. SO YOU SEE THE
NIGHT
SKY, YOU'LL SEE PLANETS. THERE'S A COMMENT THAT IS VISIBLE IN THE SKY. >> RIGHT NOW WE'RE JUST A
COMMENT THAT'S
COLLOQUIALLY KNOWN AS THE
DEVIL'S COM WHO BUT IT IS KIND OF PHOTO
BOMBING THE
ECLIPSE, RIGHT? IT'S JUST THAT
WILL BE MANIFEST DURING DEEP ECLIPSE
WHEN IT'S
DARK ENOUGH TO BE NIGHT TIME.
MOST PEOPLE WON'T EVEN NOTICE. BUT IF
YOU
KNOW, LOOK, IT'S THERE. IT'S A
COMMENT. >> TALK ABOUT TAKING THE FINAL
PLUS.
OW. OW. >> EVEN THOUGH THEIR PLANETS AND
COMETS
AND STARS DOESN'T ECLIPSE GOING TO, I'M
GOING TO
LOOK AT WHAT I'M LOOKING TO BE
CLEAR. THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
HERE FOR.
YES. SO WE TALK IT THROUGH THE
FINAL MOMENTS. OKAY. THE PARTIAL
PHASES. >> SO THE SUN GETS SKINNIER AND
SKINNIER
AND SKINNIER AND THE CRESCENT GETS THINNER AND THINNER. IT STARTS GETTING THE REALLY
DARK. >> DESCENDS UPON THE LAND. AND
IN THAT
LAST MOMENT, SOME LIGHT ONLY
PEERS THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS AND
VALLEYS OF THE
SURFACE OF THE MOON. AND AS IT DOES THAT THERE'S
SOMETHING
CALLED BAILY'S BEADS LAST JUST
SECONDS. JUST SECONDS. THE CALL BEADS
BECAUSE
IT'S JUST SOME LIGHT APPEARING
THROUGH MOUNTAIN TOPS. IT WAS A LITTLE
BIT OF
SOME LIKE THEY'RE ON THE WIDER
BE OVER THERE, DEPENDING ON THE HOW THE
MOUNTAINS ARE SPREAD. IT WAS
CALLED BILLY SPEEDS. IT'S A IT'S A FUN
MOMENT WHEN THE LAST BIT OF SUN REMAINS TO BE HIT BEAM OF LIGHT. BUT YOU CAN STILL SEE THE REST
OF THE
ECLIPSE TAKING SHAPE. IT LOOKS
EXACTLY LIKE A DIAMOND RING AND WE CALL IT THE DIAMOND RING
EFFECT. THEN YOU DESCEND INTO DARKNESS
THOSE
LAST FEW MONTHS. SECONDS
SECONDS. YOU CAN TAKE OFF YOUR GLASSES
AND WATCH
THAT HAPPEN. HOW BEAUTIFUL. AND
THEN THE WHOLE THING REPEATS IN REVERSE. YOU GET THE BAILY'S BEADS. THE
DIAMOND
RING ON THE EXIT. YOU GET THIS
THE THIN CRESCENT AND THEN THE MOON MOVES
OFF THE
SURFACE OF THE SUN. PUT THOSE
GLASSES BACK. THEN YOU PUT THE GLASSES
BACK ON.
BUT IMAGINE. >> IF THE MOON'S ORBIT WERE IN
THE PLANE
OF EARTH'S ORBIT AROUND THE SUN, IF THAT WERE THE CASE, THEN EVERY NEW MOON, YOU HAVE A
TOTAL
SOLAR ECLIPSE AND EVERY FULL
MOON, YOU HAVE A LUNAR ECLIPSE. SO IT WOULD HAPPEN EVERY MONTH. >> WHY PEOPLE JUST GET BORED BY
MY PAWS.
OH, THAT'S NICE. BUT LET'S KEEP
GOING. LET'S GO GET A SANDWICH. SO SO
BECAUSE THINGS DON'T ALWAYS ALIGN. IT LENDS TO THE RARITY OF THE
EVENT AND
THE SPECIALNESS OF THE EVENT,
WHICH IS WHY COUNTLESS MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ASSEMBLE WHEN THERE'S AN ECLIPSE
SUPER
WANT TO BE TOGETHER. THEY WANT
TO BE TOGETHER AND SHARE A COSMIC
PHENOMENA
TOGETHER. THEY TELL YOU A LITTLE
OF MY FAVORITE SENTENCE EVER COMPOSED
CHART THE SPENDING PLANETS ORBIT THE SUN ALONG THERE, A POINT TO PASS LIKE PURE WINNING DANCERS AND A
COSMIC
BALLET BY THE FORCES ARE GRAPHIC. >> I JUST I THINK HE'S MARKING
