The Longest Solar Eclipse Ever

God I love science and engineering!!!!

Watching this while building lego concord

lol the sr71 could have done it. fastest plane ever built

Holes were cut in the roof of Concorde...

The title is pretty misleading but the rest of the video is pretty great.

Hello

i love it so much

Surprised that Hollywood haven’t made a movie about it yet

Any Dan Carlin fans out there? I think it was Wrath of Khans when he said that a total eclipse occurred in the heat of a large battle. The people had no idea what it was and thought a god was punishing them for fighting.

My father, Donald Norman Blake Hall was one member of the 4 groups of Scientists on board the Concord that chased the eclipse. This video doesn't mention it, but one of their stop overs was in Chad, Africa.
He went onto have a prestigious career, including designing infrared microchips that are currently in use of the James Webb Telescope* (See below). His life achievements are worth investigating, if you are into astronomy or that sort of thing.
Donald Norman Blake Hall
06/26/1944 - 03/017/2020

*A University of Hawaii-Teledyne Technologies (formerly Rockwell) team led by Don developed the near infrared HAWAII-2RG 4 megapixel array detectors and also the on-chip controller selected by NASA for the James Webb Space Telescope. Fifteen 4 megapixel HAWAII 2RG sensors totaling over 60 megapixels are used in three scientific instruments on the James Webb Space Telescope which is now transforming every field of astronomy.  For this work Don and his team were honored with a NASA Congressional Space Act award.  The next major NASA astrophysics mission, the Roman Space Telescope, is based on a camera with 18 HAWAII 4RG arrays for a total of over 300 megapixels. HAWAII arrays are also in use in ground-based observatories around the world, including all eight optical/infrared telescopes on Mauna Kea.

So where's the actual footage 😮

Humanity as species can do marvel, if just for a second we stop trying to drag each other down in the name of nationality, religion, race, or its communities, we keep forgetting we might come in different flavours but at the end of the day we all are humans

I really do hope NASA does the same thing like this once they figure out how to make bigger quiet supersonic planes

Something like this could never happen again especially by accident well unless an F-22 or an SR-71 Blackbird pilot or any other military aircraft with high enough speed Besides to say the hell with their career to watch an eclipse or scientists decide to do this again. I can't imagine What the pictures or video looked like.

and landed in chad 🗿

Why could they not have just gotten in front of it and slowed down?

Why didn’t they use black birds lol

This is interesting .

Bull.. this was never done.. I conceptualized this experiment years ago and thought it was strange we hadn't chased the sun or moon for 24 hrs straight with film to confirm..If they had done this chase of eclipse it would of been documented and captured.. it never happened and what you are offering is what if it happened this is what it would look like ..yet , not even legit.. If it was a legit effect? We could reproduce these 3 chases anytime , except for the eclipse but 24 hrs of sun or moon would of been captured long ago. . Why is there not jet fighter videos of 24hrs of moon or sun?. And if they was? How do we actually know how to confirm it's validity? Concord would of filmed it and it would of been on the news

Das crazy

I think concorde should comeback

I saw the 2024 eclipse from Arkansas. I drove from Colorado and arrived about 30 minutes before it started, and I felt like I was cutting it crazy close. I can't imagine the stress they must have felt trying to arrive within a window measuring only a couple of seconds on a supersonic jet taking off from another country.

On the ground you feel the temp drop, then low wind. It’s amazing

There wouldn't be an eclipse that long for over 200 years. The eclipse that's being talked about is the longest eclipse ever calculated 2186, coming in at an astonishing 7 minutes and 29 seconds out of a theoretical maximim of 7 minutes and 32 seconds!

so... no real photos or videos?

It makes me so happy that the powers that be were cool with chartering a dang Concorde just to appease an army of dorks 😍

74 minute solar eclipse?!? Lucky bastards.

great

This feels like the terrestrial version of Voyager

And yet just a few scientists did it on their own

Now im starting to wonder if we can catch it in TU-144

And by I was I mean I did

I was but it was to cloudy to see it 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤

I like bright side ,primal space ,mark rober ,mr beast and jared owen.

Dr Neil DeGrasse sent me here.

And not one second of the actual shadow on the Earth.

I just imagine a scientist saying "hah, My lab's max speed is 2,000 kph" to his colleagues just to brag.

we now:cant make concorde we then:easy peasy

I don't think the Concorde had airbrakes....

A beautiful moment with such a beautiful aircraft

Solar eclipse!!!!!!!!!

Sofia had nth over this observatory

i feel bad for the pilot

These scientists had the opportunity to have the most epic listen of Dark Side of the Moon in history

Depending on what time of year this eclipse was these scientists may have had the opportunity to experience the single best listen of Dark Side of the Moon in history
