Solar Eclipse! Of Science, Hoaxes & Vin Diesel... (2017x31)

Air date: Aug 17, 2017

Solar Eclipse is this Monday! To celebrate we shot a little video explaining what astronomers really think about eclipses, why eclipses don't attract conspiracy theories and how eclipses for planet-moon systems could re-create the movie Pitch Black. ::More about this Video:: ► Bryan Gaensler's article on The Conversation, "Eclipse of reason: Why do people disbelieve scientists?": http://theconversation.com/eclipse-of-reason-why-do-people-disbelieve-scientists-81068 ► Check out our earlier video about the Great American Eclipse: https://youtu.be/9Vi35gVCz2Y ► Forgan & Kipping (2013), "Dynamical Effects on the Habitable Zone for Earth-like Exomoons": https://arxiv.org/abs/1304.4377 ► Cool Worlds Lab website: http://coolworlds.astro.columbia.edu ► Columbia University Department of Astronomy: http://www.astro.columbia.edu ► Outro music by Pink Floyd "Eclipse": https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-dark-side-of-the-moon/id1065973699 ::Playlists For Channel:: Latest Cool Worlds Videos ► http://bit.ly/NewCoolWorlds Cool Worlds Research ► http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsResearch Guest Videos ► http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsGuests Q&A Videos ► http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsQA Tabby's Star ► http://bit.ly/TabbysStar Science of TV/Film ► http://bit.ly/ScienceMovies ::Follow us:: SUBSCRIBE to the channel http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsSubscribe Cool Worlds Lab http://coolworlds.astro.columbia.edu Twitter https://twitter.com/david_kipping Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cool.worlds THANKS FOR WATCHING!!
