champions_sharron Solar eclipse videos (i.e., Solar eclipse videos):
    High cal ones:
    1. Umbral Action | 00:36: Solar eclipse in 2008 in China, time-lapsed. Good idea of Earth and sky action. Lucky they weren't clouded out. Very good for the classroom.
    2. Gabrielle and Len's Turkey Eclipse Adventure, 2006mar29 | 4:34: Show 0--1:40 and 2:40--3:15. A typical person's solar eclipse adventure. You can probably find lots of sites detailing someone's whole solar eclipse adventure: getting there and defying the cloud gods is half the fun. But I'm sure often you are just being given a tease. Overall too long for the classroom, but the scroll to the good bits is worthwhile for the thrill of it all.
    3. Total solar eclipse at the great wall of China, 2008aug01 | 3:30: The Sun is overexposed just before and after totality. Venus seems to be in the picture too---just follow the ecliptic line. Good, but too long for the classroom. Showing some of it to the class may be worthwhile.
    Low cal ones:
    1. Solar Eclipse In China 2009 | 4:44: Good, but too long for the classroom. A bit long, but sufficiently useful that showing it to the class may be worthwhile.
    2. Total Solar Eclipse 1.Aug 2008 from the cockpit of a B767-300 | 1:50: A good way to avoid being clouded out. Interesting video, but not sensational. A bit long for the classroom.
    3. Icebreaker Eclipse Antarctica 2003 | 4:40: Almost clouded-out, but fun with lots of Antarctica shots. Getting there is most of the fun. Too long for classroom, but one can scroll through to the good parts.
    4. Mechanisim of Solar & Lunar Eclipse | 0:27: Not bad. Another one from the Kurdistan Planetarium. Short enough for classroom, but maybe redundant.
    5. Mechanisim of Solar Eclipse | 0:48: Not bad, but NO discussion of line of nodes. Short enough for classroom, but maybe redundant.
