The following time-lapse was recorded over a period of just under 4 hours (see details below) and really captures what it was like out there on that cold night.  I was outside for the duration, and luckily had enough alcohol to ward off any perception of frostbite.  I get off on dumb stuff like that, you know, seeing something magnificent with my own eyes; but I wonder if I might have turned in early that night had I know that such a fine video would be available shortly afterwards.

For whatever reason, seeing the eclipse in accelerated speed impresses upon me a real sense of the size of the earth in comparison to the moon.  While I could detect the shadow's curvature on the night of the event, seeing it in motion gives me a better sense of how big the earth would be if it were at the same distance from me as the moon. (although, due to the geometry at play and the sun's size {above not to scale} the shadow of the planet is slightly smaller than the planet itself)
