I was first intrigued by the idea of watching a solar eclipse late last year, after hearing a TED Talk from David Baron, who's been an #eclipsechaser for most of his life. He called himself an umbraphile, or someone who stands under the shadow of the moon (umbra) . The question in my head is, why would anyone go travel around the globe just for a solar eclipse? I've experienced watching a solar eclipse when I was a kid in Indonesia, using an eclipse-filtered glasses and I remembered it being an extraordinary event, but I wasnt sure the experience was worth a redo. Little did I know that standing under an umbra and a pen-umbra is totally different . Umbra shadow only happens during a total solar eclipse within a very specific area and timing on earth. When it happen, you can take off your filtered glasses and see a covered sun with your naked eyes. You then watch the day turns into night, stars appear in daytime, shadows become weird and cresent-shaped, foxes all-confused and come out of the bushes; everything happens in under 2 mins . So, would I travel 10,000 miles, 35+ hours, 8 flights again for that 2 minutes time? Abso-friggin-lutely . #nofilter . #solareclipse2019 #umbra #TedTalk #DavidBaron #andeseclipse #solareclipsechile #totalsolareclipse (at Vicuña, Chile) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzn1cO8Ay5aGIfHr925Gu71qfKsJV836oR72fc0/?igshid=11kor0u275tm0

What's inside the Eclipse Gllamping experience: actual beds, 18 hours campfire, a shared bamboo shower tent and trailer toilets. Not bad at all!💛 . . . #eclipsechile2019 #eclipsechaser #glampingchile #totalsolareclipse #andeseclipse (at Festival Andes Eclipses) https://www.instagram.com/p/BznxV0DAiJqGPDkzbZXb_reKT9v5c5z6HPxvEQ0/?igshid=gy49ytd16lzb
