Within a few days after the idea sparked in my head, I had booked flights from New York City to Svalbard. Then I started planning the journey to meet the Sun and the Moon in the same spot of the sky. It was not easy, Svalbard is not exactly human-friendly. A rifle is mandatory if you adventure outside by yourself. You know, in case the polar bears are in a bad mood.
\textbf{Wow! Tell us about those moments during the eclipse}\\
After traveling a long distance and waiting for hours in a sunny - but very cold - morning, I saw the eclipse from the snow-covered valley of Adventalen. This place became an almost extraterrestrial
place land during the two and a half minutes of darkness,
and it a show that left me \href{https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7kVT2kjSDM&list=LLoQE5NCVFOow1KkR63RVs2g&index=1}{in
total absolute awe}. I think \href{https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7kVT2kjSDM&list=LLoQE5NCVFOow1KkR63RVs2g&index=1}{this video} is the best way to show you what I saw and what I felt that morning.
\textbf{What kind of science can be done during an Eclipse?}\\
There’s plenty of science to be investigated during an eclipse. One of the most relevant historical examples is the \href{http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1920RSPTA.220..291D}{measurement of the deflection of light by the Sun}, performed by Sir Arthur Eddington in 1919 during a total solar eclipse. Such experiment demonstrated that the sun was indeed deflecting the light, as predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity.
