00:00This video was captured from Australia's west coast, and this is the total solar eclipse that
00:05blanketed the area in night-like darkness. Total solar eclipses occur when the moon totally
00:09obfuscates the sun, but this one was special. Because of the timing and path both the moon
00:14and the earth are on at this particular time of year, the umbral shadow of the moon slightly
00:18changes course during the eclipse, meaning this event included a partial eclipse, an annular
00:23eclipse, perhaps the most iconic type of solar eclipse, as well as what you're seeing here,
00:27a total solar eclipse. And for some, things got pretty emotional, but others were simply
00:32thrilled. Oh, just so thrilled, and felt so eerie, and I had shakes, I just like, so surprised,
00:39and just something like I'd never experienced before, really. Everything went cold, and...
00:44Yeah. Oh, incredible. Just incredible. It's my second one, I hope I'm still around for the third one.
00:53Some, like this man and his family, traveled some 15 hours to witness the event, one that lasted only
00:59one minute and 16 seconds. But experts say this one was definitely something to see, as the next
01:04total solar eclipse to beat its duration won't occur until October 17th, 2172.
01:10One minute and two.
01:11One minute and two.
