A Total Solar Eclipse Revealed Solar Storms 100 Years Before Satellites

The video explores significant scientific discoveries made during celestial events, including the sun's structure, Einstein's theory of general relativity, and the element helium. It delves into coronal mass ejections (CMEs), their impact on Earth's space environment, and their historical observations dating back to the 1860 solar eclipse. The video highlights the importance of modern satellite imagery and solar eclipses in advancing CME research and understanding solar phenomena.
