The eclipse of 2024 created a path of darkness across North America that created lineups and traffic jams, but also awe and wonder. In the space of several minutes, broad daylight turned to near darkness as the rays of the sun were blocked out by the moon passing between the sun and the earth. A drone was sent up to a height of 124m to capture the event. The clouds prevented a view of the sun or the moon, but the darkness sweeping over the shore was dramatic and unsettling. As the light dimmed, the video is sped up to 7.5x. Part of the darkest period is edited out for brevity.
The daylight reappeared as quickly as it left, leaving everyone in awe.
These events are spectacular from the ground, but even more so when filmed from a bird's eye view
