Last Night’s Solar Eclipse in a 60-Second, 700-Picture Timelapse Video

in Video - Science | May 21st, 2012 2 Comments

If you missed the big solar eclipse and its strange shadows last night, not to worry. Cory Poole, a science teacher in Redding, California, has you covered. Above, you’ll find his video that brings together 700 images (view them individually in high res here) into a 60 second time-lapse film. The images were viewed/taken through a Coronado Solar Max 60 Double Stacked Hydrogen Alpha Solar Telescope. The music was composed in Abelton Live. Find courses on Astronomy in our collection of Free Online Courses. via Gizmodo

    “last night’s solar eclipse” – can you have a solar eclipse at night? or does it make day night?
