The 3 Solar Eclipses That Changed The Course of Science

The Earth is the only place in the entire solar system where you can stand and watch a total solar eclipse. No, not just because the Earth is a rocky planet and you can stand on it, but also because of the following cosmic play of numbers. The Moon is 400 times closer to the Earth than the Sun. But, at the same time, its diameter is 400 times smaller than the Sun. These two factors cancel out each other exactly, and hence, we get to see a total solar eclipse from the Earth.

For many centuries, eclipses were viewed as bad omens that brought death and destruction. But for scientists, solar eclipses have proven to be good friends. In this video, we will discuss three solar eclipses that proved to be a turning point in the history of science.

Astronomy is more mysterious than a detective novel to me.

[renubajpai]

I will be observing the solar eclipse today .
From India 🇮🇳

I do love your videos! 😊😊

They are so informative and twice changed my understanding about the cosmos, universe and space.

[sujaymajumdar]

Amazing content with proper explanation ❤️

I watched the solar eclipse on April 8, 2024 and it was amazing

Apparently the biggest secret in the universe is the correct definition of what a theory is

[christopheryounger]

I would like to watch the solar eclipse live...

[ambetsenji]

Einstien wasn't only satisfied with Gravity rather he challenged Laws of motion.@

[SRINUPHYSICST]

Which app or software you used to create video like this!??

[lonzoremus]

Its a planet coming towards us in front of the sun i had a dream showed me hope yall ready

the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.. Proverbs 9:10; once one has this and follows in His ways, you need not fear anything else.

[rufinor.]

Can you tell me when is the next solar in the Philippines

[bigolbeardog]

everything is exactly perfect from an explosion that came from nothing.
kinda like a tornado going through a junkyard and building a shiny new 747 commercial passenger jet.

and people still believe NASA.
makes me laugh.

*It seems that the earth gains more weight when there is an eclipse and then it loses it, that is why the orbit is not stable*

Luckily for Einstein the 1914 attempt was a failure. His theory at that time was incomplete and gave a value for light deflection that was off by a factor of two. Once he corrected the problems the 1919 attempt confirmed his updated prediction.

0:01 erm p, no some of Saturn’s small moons can have total solar clipses

In 1972, I predicted that the 6-20-74 solar eclipse would take Nixon out of office.

So that means Griffith did nothing wrong?
