\textbf{The video is absolutely amazing, thanks for sharing!!\\ 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 Sun  was indeed deflecting the light, as predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity. \textbf{What's so special about an Arctic Eclipse?}\\  Well, for example an eclipse at such high latitude gives an excellent opportunity to have measurements of the dayside aurora, which is a relatively common phenomenon at Svalbard.
