  • Hey, it's me, Destin. Welcome back to Smarter Every Day.

  • I am in the globe museum in Vienna, Austria,

  • and going to show you something really neat. This is called a Lunarium.

  • A Lunarium is

  • a really interesting device used to calculate the position of solar eclipses.

  • You can see you have a candle here that represents the sun. You have the moon,

  • which goes around the earth when you input power to the crank there and it

  • calculates the position on the globe where the shadow will be.

  • So this is a really interesting thing and you know,

  • I'm excited about solar eclipses ever since the one in America a couple of years

  • ago, my wife and I, for the first time,

  • we've been able to plan a trip around a total solar eclipse.

  • So go with us to Argentina and let's see what it looks like in the middle of the

  • desert. As we observe a solar eclipse together. Let's go get Smarter Every Day.

  • [Music]

  • Holy cow... my beard's a beard.

  • It's real beard. Look at that.

  • The ground crew are wearing full on winter gear.

  • Uh Oh!

  • Mendoza Si... Gracias

  • [inaudible].

  • That's where, we're going, excuse me, I'm eating an Empanada.

  • Punto de Observacion looks like it's directly ahead.

  • So after days of travel,

  • we ended up here at the far western edge of Argentina,

  • just outside of a little town called Bella Vista in San Juan province.

  • The reason this eclipse was such a big deal is that it's a setting Eclipse,

  • meaning the photos could capture the eclipse and the horizon in the same shot in

  • this location means the shot would be the beautiful in these mountains right in

  • front of you.

  • This was supposedly the spot to watch from tons of stages and live feeds,

  • all kinds of things that were already set up the night before.

  • We met a ton of really cool people like this famous news anchor who showed us

  • the huge lens that we're going to use to film it with.

  • Everyone was really cool and excited, but when I saw this drone flying overhead,

  • I realized that this wasn't the spot for us. Okay,

  • so we just went to the site where half the world is going to be literally for

  • the eclipse. No, I'm thinking no,

  • because I saw people with drones and stuff.

  • I'm not thinking that's where I want to be. No, no,

  • but this is gorgeous. There's pretty,

  • I'm thinking on the side of the road somewhere with you.

  • We drove two hours back across the desert that night back to our hotel and the

  • next day we threw all our gear in the car and armed with the solar eclipse timer

  • app, we headed back out into the desert to wing it along with thousands of other

  • people from all over the world. Look at all these people here. Yeah.

  • For the eclipse.

  • This is the only store for like forever.

  • Good for the guy that owns this store . Es un loco dia para ti? Si... It's a big

  • dia!. Does this feel like the Science Olympics to you??

  • It's not the Science Olympics. People are from everywhere though.

  • Yeah..

  • And people are super travelers to not so super travelers

  • At this point. We're trying to figure out what the photo is going to look like.

  • So my beautiful bride is driving and I am using an augmented reality app.

  • You can see the ecliptic line right there. Yeah, I think this is it.

  • Look at that. So you got two mountains there. Hola! Habla Espanol? English!

  • Cool man. I'm Destin. Stefan, have you set your orientation up yet?

  • Is it polar aligned right now? What do you think adventure wife? 318

  • to 296

  • We're looking like.... there.

  • Yeah, that's it. Let's just call that good. (hat plops down on ground)

  • Do you mind checking my setup for me?

  • Yeah why not? So you came all the way from Switzerland?. Yeah

  • That's Amazing. Thank you very much.

  • At my first total solar eclipse. I got so excited.

  • I left the solar filters on and didn't get the shots I wanted.

  • So when it came right down to the moment here,

  • Tara couldn't resist poking a little fun at me.

  • Okay. Are these the only lenses you have to take off?

  • (Automated voice) "Thirty Seconds... hands on camera filters"

  • Haha... it's just for you babe.

  • (Automated voice) Remove camera filters. Got 'em. Voice "15" "10"

  • (Automated Voice) 5, 4, 3, 2, 1......

  • "Glasses Off... Glasses Off"

  • [Camera shutter firing]

  • Oh, come on babe.

  • (Automated Voice) Observer for planets and stars

  • How cool.

  • WHAT!?

  • [Camera controls clicking to roll up exposure]

  • It's a 360 sunset

  • I decided to set up a camera behind us to capture the eclipse progression

  • through the sky in front of the Andes.

  • I had a photography filter on my front camera and I would run it back and forth

  • between the camera in the front and the camera in the back and that would take

  • these shots along the partial phase phenomenon progression.

  • They say a picture's worth a thousand words and this one's worth far more than

  • that to me because Tara and I built it together. We picked the spot.

  • Everything about this captures the entire experience with my wife.

  • Probably the most interesting thing about this photo though is that last photo

  • before the sun goes down behind the mountains.

  • We didn't expect that and the way it went down was pretty cool.

  • I'll show you that in video in just a second.

  • This is so much better

  • than the binoculars.

  • You don't believe me but like this totally better than the binoculars.

  • [laughs]

  • If you want to support us,

  • go no crazy husband wife adventures like this high five. Oh yeah. (laugh)

  • You can do that by supporting the sponsor, which in this case is Express VPN.

  • We've been traveling for like three weeks.

  • There's one common thread throughout all international travel and that is

  • usually wifi and connectivity back home is really sketchy.

  • You can get the same assurance with your Internet that I have as far as security

  • goes by going to Expressvpn.com/smartereveryday

  • for less than seven bucks a month.

  • You can get an awesome virtual private network service.

  • It's the fastest VPN I've tested. I've tested it for multiple countries,

  • multiple continents. Express VPN is the way to go.

  • I'm not just saying that I use it on all my devices. I use it on my Samsung.

  • You got it? Yep. She's using it on her iPhone.

  • There's a city called Bella Vista about two kilometers that way and I can just

  • barely touch the cell phone stuff over there. That's the city down there.

  • I'm going to connect to it from like two kilometers away.

  • We're going to use Argentina as our base. Check this out.

  • This works in the desert here. It'll work anywhere you want it to work.

  • There you go. Check it out. You can use it from any location you want,

  • like if you want to use it from the Middle East or Europe,

  • it'll basically act like you're using the internet from all of these locations.

  • USA. Boom! Freedom!

  • If you want to take your security seriously on the Internet,

  • especially when you travel. There's a 30 day trial. If you don't like it,

  • money back. No questions asked. They're awesome people. I've talked to them.

  • Expressvpn.com/smartereveryday.

  • Do you see what's happening? Yeah. Hold on. The moon. The moon is on one side.

  • We didn't get the total before we got the sunset.

  • It's cool because the mountains running away. That's pretty cool.

  • That's really cool. Actually I gotta I gotta take some photos of that.

  • Do you think that the moon is going to move fast enough for the,

  • I don't but I gotta take a picture of the back right,

  • because it's going to come up by the mountains. Wow.

  • It's going fast. It's going very fast. Do you want me to push buttons up here?

  • I need another battery. Uh, yeah, I got it. I got it.

  • I got what we need. We're good. Do you want me to push buttons up here? No. No,

  • no. Okay. It's going fast. I'm coming back. Yeah,

  • you should. I wasn't expecting that.

  • Did we get it right there? Yeah, we got it. That's weird.

  • Aw Man.

  • I really wasn't. I thought it was going to, it's like we're,

  • Oh, which one's gonna win?

  • The mountains are gonna win. The mountains are going to win.

  • Absolutely are. Oh, that's cool.

  • Oh Man.

  • How cool is that? And then the lights gone.

  • It's almost almost. Oh...it's so close!

  • Oh, can I see it out there yet? Or is it tobright? Too Bright,

  • too bright. Bright. Too Bright. Oh,

  • it's like a little triangle. Take a photo. Take a photo. Oh,

  • Take a photo. Take a photo.

  • I'm doing my best I don't know what I'm doing! I did. I did. Okay. Now.

  • Oh, look at that what a neat way to end the eclipse. Huh?!

  • I just wasn't expecting it. I wasn't either, but I wasn't, oh,

  • it's getting cold fast. Look at the smoke rising off of the mountain.

  • You see that? Yeah. Hey, you ready? Okay.

  • It's going to work. People will love it I promise. All right, so, oh,

  • Would you like to say something?

  • Thank you for supporting my husband and our family as we've had some wild ride

  • over the past decade, so thank you very much. You don't talk a lot on here,

  • Until we break.

  • It was your fault for twisting.
