Three McCrory here, Michael brush go Anjali.

And here I am in Nashville, Tennessee, at the Adventure Science Center. Madisonville, Tennessee, at Sally Knox Vineyard. So we are at the Wilson County Fair here in Lebanon, Tennessee, here at NatGeo in Washington, DC. Nashville is the largest city in the path of totality, so we are so excited to have that one minute and 50 seconds of totality this afternoon.

I am so thrilled to get a chance to see something as beautiful and as magnificent as this. So many places, that's why you before, get to be frank, the party has started. Everybody's got their glasses, a lot of fun, they got ice cream, they've got cupcakes going on. Good day to be working at Magia!

Okay, so we are here, they are playing "Total Eclipse of the Sun," and it just dropped at least a few degrees. It's getting colder, it's getting darker, and we can only see a little sliver of the Sun now.

It's pretty easy, I know my little Orion. What is this? Oh, almost, almost!

Okay, totality just happened. The Sun is rising again; essentially, it went dark here as you can see from the videos, and this massive cloud blocks the whole list. So we're missing the corona, we're missing the diamond ring.

So if we heard the birds come out, we watched a 360 sunset, and now the Sun is rising again. I just saw my first total solar eclipse and it was awesome! Words can't describe it; it was deeply beautiful, amazing. So highly recommend! [Music]
