This is one of those moments where I'm SUPER thankful that you guys support Smarter Every Day on Patreon.  

This is one of those videos that I know won't go viral on the internet... but I really wanted to make it because it was such an important thing for my marriage.  Tara and I really enjoyed ourselves on this trip, and I can honestly say I'm pretty sure we love each other more because of it.  Whenever we go to a place where we don't speak the language well we like to rely on each other and figure things out.  For some reason that just does it for us.  Obviously this sort of thing doesn't make sense for a person who wants to be a major "internet influencer".... but man for someone who wants to be a better husband this was awesome.  Thank you so much for supporting us on Patreon.  Because of you we don't have to do things to try to "win the algorithm".  You've enabled us to do this and we're incredibly thankful.

I’m so glad y’all got to do this and had so much fun! It was a fun and interesting video to watch! I’m thrilled I’m able to support this even in the smallest way. Y’all had a honeymoon so maybe this was your honeysun? Honeyeclipse?? (Forgive the terrible joke) 😂

This was an awesome video Destin. Glad you and your wife got even closer. You should definitely keep the beard. Lol. If there's anything else I can do, let me know!

Great (and sweet) video, thank the both of you for all the amazing things I’ve seen / learned through your eyes! I’m so glad that my small contribution helps make it possible for you do something for the both of you!

This is so adorable!! I love that you guys got to do this together. 1:1 time with your spouse is so important, especially after kids.

I'm excited that you got to see the eclipse too. I traveled to Chile just to see it, because it happened on my birthday. :) I learned that eclipses are very emotional events, best experienced with others. And that if a total solar eclipse happens on your birthday then, well, you should probably go see it.

This is in the top 5 of favorite Smarter Everyday videos!

AWESOME!!!! Just to be in the shadows of the Andes would be an incredible experience. The catch, with the eclipse behind the mountains is a treasure. BTW - sorry you lost your razor :-)

What a sweet video! But Destin... I'm glad you found your razor! ;-)

Thank you so much for making this video. Your love of learning, of life, and, of course, your wife, just shown through. Beautiful.

Yes -- this video was beautiful in multiple different ways at once -- the conventional beauty of photography, the celestial beauty of the fine balance that makes eclipses possible, and of course the human beauties of the people you met along the way and of a very special time for you and your wife. Thank you for sharing these with us!

You being a “Major Internet Influencer” and sharing a piece of your marriage like this is what the internet should be about! It showed a genuine love between a husband and wife, and genuine love is a huge piece of what we all seek in our own relationships! Thank you for sharing a piece of your marriage, and all the science stuff as well! Smarter Everyday can also be causing moments to just remind our loved ones that we love them, because someone does the internet right.

Beautiful! I loved this video. I watched the Aug 2017 eclipse with a cousin & her husband that were here visiting. Your level of watching and recording, of course, blows my mind! Thanks for loving your wife well! ♥

Awwwww true love =D

@Destin :-) Is there *any* chance you could release a high-resolution version of the multiple-exposure still? Maybe just for Patrons, but that would make a stunning wallpaper.

awesome music choice!

I loved this video. My partner and I love travelling together as well, and seeing you two share that love together is heartwarming. I love your sciency/engineering videos, but things like this are why I continue to support you on patreon. Keep being you Destin!

Yes, this would be amazing to be able to get in high res for a Fracture. As this is unlockable at the $10/month level, it there any way that this could be bought through Patreon as a one off purchase/higher donation?

This was beautiful
