Solar eclipse videos
(i.e., Solar eclipse
videos):
High cal ones:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Mechanisim of Solar & Lunar Eclipse | 0:27:
Not bad.
Another one from the Kurdistan Planetarium.
Short enough for classroom, but maybe redundant.
- Mechanisim of Solar Eclipse | 0:48: Not bad, but
NO
discussion of line of nodes.
Short enough for classroom, but maybe redundant.
