NEW VIDEO about why Eclipses Travel TOWARDS the EAST?
Added 2024-04-01 15:44:34 +0000 UTCIf you're close enough, go try to see the American eclipse on April 8!
Thanks as always for your support.

Yeah, this is a tough one. Really I should just be using the term "angular velocity" but that jargon can be confusing, I like to try to say something like "rotational velocity" or "rate of rotation" or "rotational speed" instead... If you had a ball on a string spinning around your head, you don't say it's orbiting, you say it's rotating/spinning, so we have a bit more flexibility if we think if planets like regular objects.

2024-04-02 14:25:02 +0000 UTCI know in this case it is true they are the same by tidal locking but for the more general case...

2024-04-02 12:29:33 +0000 UTCI'm not understanding the statement at 2:13 -- I think I get what you are trying to show but I believe what's stated is in conflict with Kepler's IIId law.

2024-04-01 20:37:30 +0000 UTCWould love to have 'orbit' when referring to the bulk motion of the Moon and to reserve 'rotation' for 'spin'

2024-04-01 20:32:09 +0000 UTCNicely done! And thank you for the wikipedia gif. You are a class act, sir! Glad to support you, your videos are definitely some of the best out there.

2024-04-01 17:56:07 +0000 UTCI made it custom for the video (it's computer visual effects) so I could have the earth rotating in it, but it's inspired by this real satellite view: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:July_2,_2019_Total_Solar_Eclipse_from_GOES-East.gif

2024-04-01 17:50:00 +0000 UTCIs the picture at 3:25 a real video (from a satellite or something)? If not, do we have a video of an eclipse from space?

2024-04-01 15:53:46 +0000 UTCWhy does the page go blank / white for a couple seconds at ~1:43?

2024-04-01 15:50:49 +0000 UTCIt's almost like planetary motions are confusing sometimes
