Out here in New York City. Joining millions of americans witnessing this extraordinary sight. If you were not excited about this this morning when you watch this actually happening it is a phenomenal site and one that we will not say and might not see to this extent because all the conditions are exactly right for some super super viewing of this today in the next one is not for another 20 years so a short time from now we will be under maximum coverage here in New York City. We are going to get around 90 of the sun blocked by the moon and it is a beautiful spring day. We havent had too many like this but weve got great visibility here in new york. So when it comes over new york were going to get 90 as i said. So the Total Eclipse past that we are watching sweep across the country is about 115 miles wide and 4000 miles long and it has more than 33 Million People who are under that. The last one was about Something Like two minutes. This one is twice as long it will get darker so i think that will be the most exciting part. I really enjoy space and nature and science and so i think its a beautiful intersection of all of that. Martha she is exactly right and we got fox weather coverage. Our team is fanning out across diverse that the whole area, were in the ground at the cities where the total accepted underwear. We are watching at the eagle has. It is now moving upwards indianapolis were expected to happen shortly and chief correspondent john is ready at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for a Massive Watch Party is underway. Look at all those people. It looks like a race is about this part but the race is in the sky between the moon and the sun, jonathan. You talked about all the watch parties across the country, martha. Im not sure theres any better place to before i watch party then the Indianapolis Motor Speedway right now. The expecting around 50,000 people to flood the speedway here to come into watch this as a community and i have to say from what we are looking at it looks like they have hit those numbers. The sky is beginning to darken now as we are by my estimation this about three minutes away from the qua quality. You can feel the temperature dropping. You can also feel, martha, very much a sense of expectation among these people and i think whats interesting is as we rate these last couple of minutes, martha, is none of us knows how we are really going to react to this, you know, i think some people might be excited. Might be cheering. Others i think well go a very silent. Very silent because this is is that a physical experience as you look up and watch the moon completely cover The Sun For Mike is obviously for a lot of people a very spiritual one too. And really demonstrates to us the power of the universe in a time where we are so riven by so many disputes. Whether they are national, whether their local, whether they are within your family, or whether they are global wars and global conflicts. This is one of those moments that everybody can share together and feel like we are one tiny part of this vast universe and we are privileged to be here and i have to say, martha, i feel truly privileged to be other events like this with Tens Of Thousands of my closest Friends Waiting in the last couple of minutes now for the moon to completely cover the sun here in indianapolis they like it will be an extraordinary event. People as you can hear probably getting really excited about totality which we are getting closer and closer to right now, martha. Neil for indianapolis is the center of the action right now. Is one of the areas in the country that is going to get an amazing show. I can hear, jonathan, people in the background there. Described to us what youre seeing . Yeah, we are really Just Moments Away from totality now. We are seeing that last sliver of the sun disappear behind the moon and the excitement really is something to behold, martha. Its an emotional moment if anything imagine seeing everybody here staring up to the skies which are darkening by the second right now, martha. Everybody is staring in one direction. You can hear the excitement among these people, theyre cheering. They waited ours for this. I can tell you weve all been out here for i dont know six hours or so in a pretty warm sun today and now that sun disappearing behind the moon as we are about to hit the moment of totality. Martha do you have light on you and if you can kill that light so we can get a sense were going to do that in new york, to get a sense of how dark it is there . Yeah. Theres our light killed and now here we go. Darkness as Falling On Indianapolis right now. Theres a few tv lights over in the distance behind this but this is it. Night is falling at 3 06 pm in indianapolis we are moving into what feels like full nighttime and it really is i have to say, martha, as you stand here . Its a pretty extraordinary experience. Listen to those cheers. [ cheering ] [cheering and applause] [cheering] you heard the excitement there, martha. We are now in i believe we are getting three minutes and about 49 seconds of totality as we move into the ring around the sun no coloring around the moon and the sons the ring that we are looking at here and it is truly a spectacular sight to see in person. Quite breathtaking. You can also see a couple of stars out as well. Its so hard to describe just how meaningful the scenes, martha. You look at the crowd, you can feel the emotion of this crowd. [cheering] just an event that a lot of people will never witness again. We know we are going to wait 20 years for the next Total Eclipse in the United States. A lot of these people are probably knowing they wont be around in 20 years time or so. I might not be around in 20 years. So this is a onceinalifetime experience for so many of us. And again, martha, i have to say, i have no idea how i was going to react to this but it was a physical reaction. And emotion emotional reaction. It really does make you appreciate the beauty of the earth, the beauty of the moon and the sun. The beauty of the universe. That we are so privileged to be a part of. Its just quite an extraordinary thing and again a real privilege, martha, to be here to witness it with all these fine people whove floated to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway which i have to say as well, martha, has put on a quite spectacular event. And as i look not to my right, all these people, there are people hugging each other. It is really special, martha. Really special. Martha you know 110, im thinking about you and all the things you have covered for us in the middle of the wars have near the front lines. [cheering] and other things happened here on earth and i just think this is just and equitable experience and it is point out the magnitude of the universe and how small we are in all of its. Yeah. It really does. Nothing brings it home, nothing that ive ever witnessed that brings it home quite like this, martha. And, yeah, you know, you and i all our colleagues at fox, weve all witnessed around the world and over the years so much strife in so many places, we see the political divide obviously on a daily basis in this country and frankly in many other countries too. But now i stand there with 50,000 or so people that everyone of them overjoyed and brought together by the single moment. It is really a very, very special thing. You know, he hope that everybody walks away from this without appreciation and that somehow brings people together in the longer term. We dont just return to the way we are every day. Tomorrow morning. This is a special moment. I know that everybody here, you know, Casey Steagall in dallas, belmont illusion down down in the Board Agreement all our colleagues across the country have been fortunate enough to witness his forehand smack this i think will live with us for very long time as we begin to now. [cheering] see the sun coming back from behind the moon here and another round of cheers as people witnessed this, martha. Ill silence for a moment and let you just enjoy the moments with us. [cheering] [cheering and applause] so now is a point, martha, where everybody is supposed to put back on their Eclipse Glasses as receivers and the sun again. We were allowed to have smugly without them for the three minutes about 49 seconds and it was a beautiful thing to be able to stare directly at the moon in front of the sun there they are now coming back to the light and big people are putting their eclipse back and everybody has just witness a truly incredible moments and thats it. And now it moves on. Well move it onto our colleagues before i want to be if anybody that wants to tell you what it was like for them . If you can reach them. Lets see if we can get weve got a family right he here. Hi guys. How are you doing . What did you think of that . That was amazing. I love fox news. Thats not the best part of the day. The best part of the day what is what you think . I thought it was awesome. Onceinalifetime experience. Important to bring the family . Absolutely. Great experience for the kids to share. Yeah. Does it it make you feel like were a pretty small speck in that universe and perhaps we can get a lot of little bit better . Absolutely. For releasing goal rams not courts there if were all getting along them . [laughter] never. Hi, sir. You are one of the loudest voices out there, you were pretty excited. It was pretty incredible. That was amazing. It was Life Changing. Of never seen anything like that. Are you from indianapolis . Im from columbus. I traveled ours here to see. Worth it . Worth every mile and every minute in the car. I heard your voice there. You moved me. Was emotional for all of us. Thank you for having so much fun with that. Hi, guys at how are you doing . It was awesome. What was the best part the sun disappear coming back . The whole thing. All the way. I liked when he was a dark is because it looked like an album cover and then you could say it was amazing. Best album cover ever. Martha thats what i thought. [laughter] Life Changing moment for all you guys . Yeah. Remember when i was in first grade. Its all coming back. Shaver those memories and enjoy the rest of your day. Toy think safe to say, martha, everybody was as moved as i felt by that. Really an incredible experience and again i said it before, ill say it again an absolute privilege to be here. A privilege to witness the universe doing his thing and a privilege to be among Tens Of Thousands of truly thrilled people here at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Martha im so happy for you, jonathan. And also for the folks in dallas too who really were under cloud cover and then suddenly its okay this, of totality is just opening up for everybody so that they can witness this incredible cosmic moment and it is truly stunning to watch the universe in action, to see The Sun Eclipse by the moon. I forget who said it but it reminded me of the, you know, cover of the pink floyd album, the backside of the moon. Im sitting here with bill heimer. And its just im very touched by the emotional reaction that were hearing from the people who are watching it. Extraordinary, jonathan, thank you so much. Stay with us. To jonathan and his brother in indianapolis number 1, great location. Martha absolutely. The Indianapolis 500 and i think after that we can put jonathan on the unity ticket after all. [laughter] because he really showed a desire to bring people together there. The really cool to see indianapolis is a great relocation, coming up a little bit, Niagara Falls is a great location as well. And we are in midtown, manhattan. Unfortunately martha we have a lot of skyscrapers around us. Bill their bad news martha and you know who will be a Arrest Viewer i think his neck for because nate for it out on the intrepid and he will have a much clearer view which im very excited to experience with him and just a little while. I didnt introduce you you dont really need an introduction. Bill hemmer, anchor of americas newsroom and also an ohio native. So we are watching ohio sort of in the path here shortly included as well. Bill i was watching this path. Theres a great website that really showed the floor and the younger free. Depicted up in seymour, indiana and bloomington than in the indianapolis where jonathan is. Thing that got in columbus, ohio probably could not stay home. He would not have gotten the totality but he wouldve gotten a lot of it. Martha he said it was Life Changing. Bill which is what a little bit what we are getting in new york right now. You can feel the air has dropped school or College Temperature has gone down and dave and i had an astrophysicist on this morning. He said we ask why does the wind direction change, and she claimed was that the intensity of the sun on the earth lightens up and that allows the wind and the air to change directions and that i thought that was cool. Martha gravity is what holds all of us here and hold the solar system in place, right . And you see the shift that occurs even with this alignment of the sun and the moon and us here on earth. Its really interesting how, you know, the moon is very close to us in my Tens Of Thousands of miles away. But the sun is 19 million miles away in my think about that for a little bit thats why this tiny moon when it is in between the earth and the sun is able to look like its blocking the whole thing out and also notice the corona that we are seeing around the moon here on this shot from cleveland and becae of the maximum magnetic forces that are at play every 11 years or so which is whats going on right now, you are seeing these shoots Coming Out Of The Sun behind the moon that are extraordinary and this is what scientists are also focus on right no because we are studying, you know, you see that flare sort of around four or 5 00 pm. Nurse undercut of things that they will study very intensely and theres the sky over cleveland right now. Its nothing theres nothing political about this which is whats so great. Bill i can tell you as an ohio guy and as a Cincinnati Guy First Catholic Live cleveland has never looked better. [laughter] that is a gorgeous short. That is almost is the most beautiful sunrise or sunset you can ive never seen the. Martha in the middle of the afternoon it is extraordinary. And, you know, i think that even people who maybe woke up this morning look at the players on the lefthand side of your screen there that you see Shooting Off Mike and they are going, you know, a million miles in to the atmosphere, off of the sun. And then they are showing up behind the moon. Bill just the power of that store is something that we sometimes tend to forget and when the you have the moon block it out like it is right now that they have this thing called baileys beads, right, that shoot down the canyons of the moon and thats a little bit of the flaring you see. But its very difficult for us just with our plane i on a regular sunny day to look up at the sun and to be able to see what the scientists are now observing on behalf of the eclipse and wright their you see that, martha . They describe this smack that as the wedding ring a comes together in the shape martha the environment comes out in to the moment. I want to be my give people the right numbers here because her in front of me right now. World, are light and a second so you see whats happening here in New York City. The moon is 400 times sma smaller, there we go, smaller then the sun, okay . The moon is a hundred times closer to earth then the sun is. The moon is 239 thousand miles away. The sun is 93 million miles away. So this shot that youre getting in cleveland is now it starts to pop out on the other side and i think every color, every city has a different this is so thats properly. I would call it its a beautiful area. You can see the sky very clearly and properly, new york. Is a beautiful part of the country. Bill so now you move up to Malbrough Falls and erie, pennsylvania. Enough to the northern reaches, northern northeastern reaches of the u. S. And then it moves on to canada and, you know, we are not changing. What you see right now is what we see here in new york at 3 19, 3 20 in the afternoon. Martha the weird thing is it happens a lot in new york because the buildings are total sometimes the sunblocks and it suddenly gets dark. Bill i heard some horns so the camera didnt get them martha yeah, this is an unusual experience though, watching this market is getting really dark. The sky is different. Is definitely looking like it that when its 5 30 pm at night in the summertime, maybe, when it starts to get like this. Martha you feel the temperature right now. Martha yeah, theres a weird kind of intensity, humility. Something, pressure, inott. Lets go to nicosia who can real use reel scientific words to describe these things for us. Hes here at Watch Schmuck Fox where is our watch party continues. This is incredible. We are literally out here kilrea out here we are trying to find it as we have all the highrise buildings here in the city to contend with so right now is a little bit visible on the corner of fifth and 50th and six and ive got some ladies here with me. You were actually able to say they took a few moments ago . Yes. It was amazing. Is very cool. What are you thinking . I thought it was really cool. I saw it a few years ago and this was different. This was really cool. Death speaking of you were just talking about in the studio. Have you noticed that the temperature has dropped considerably . Were close to not have you noticed that . I have. You have become a bit chilly here. I had to run in and get my coat. So listen, you guys, you can phone a friend if you need help with this question. Im giving Away Fox
