We are just 10 days away from what some consider to be the most awe-inspiring spectacle in all of nature: a total solar eclipse. It’s time to start getting hyped up and there is no better way than to watch this TED Talk by self-described “Umbraphile” (literally translated to shadow lover but more specifically lover of eclipses) David Baron who chases these rare events across the globe, and in this ode to the bliss of seeing the solar corona, he explains why you owe it to yourself to witness one too.
