Imagination.

One of the most important tools that helped great scientists look deeper into the wonders of the Universe, creating theories and finding true answers to unimaginable questions.

In April 2024, an awesome stellar event took place. A total eclipse that covered the entire sun was visible across a band covering parts of North America, from Mexico to Canada and crossing the contiguous United States.

While wearing my super improvised diy glasses and sharing the fun and excitement with the rest of the people, I caught myself wondering how the first sentient beings would react to the Build-up… the Mystery… the Awe watching the brightest object in the sky, responsible for giving life and warmth to the whole planet, being vanished into the darkness…

This videorchestral description could not be of any use explaining what an eclipse is, but contributes as a homage to the incredible powers of our imagination that either feeds our curiosity… or the Terror.
