https://mocomi.com/ presents:What is an Eclipse & Its Types
Eclipse Fun Facts - An eclipse occurs when one object gets in between you and another object and blocks your view. From Earth, we routinely experience two kinds of eclipses: an eclipse of the Moon and an eclipse of the Sun.
When the Earth orbits the suns, it comes between the Sun and the Moon, and throws a dark shadow across the Moon. This known as a Lunar eclipse.
When the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun it blocks the light of the Sun and a shadow of the Moon is cast on the Earth's surface. This is know as Solar eclipse.
3 Types of Solar Eclipse: total, partial, and annular.
During a total eclipse, the Moon completely covers our view of the Sun and is only visible from a narrow strip (about 150 km wide) of the Earth's surface at any one time.
A partial eclipse will also occur if the Sun, Moon, and Earth are not precisely lined up.
The eclipse cannot be total unless the center of the Moon's shadow is able to strike the Earth.
The eclipse type that occurs when the Moon is at its farthest distance from the Earth is an annular eclipse. The Moon then appears too small to completely block out the disk of the Sun.
During a solar eclipse, the Moon actually casts two shadows toward Earth, called Umbra and Penumbra.
The Umbra shadow becomes smaller as it reaches the Earth and is also the dark center of the Moon's shadow.
A total solar eclipse, or a complete blocking out of the Sun's light, can only be seen by those who live in the area covered by the umbra.
The Penumbra shadow becomes larger as it reaches the Earth. People who live in the area of the Earth covered by the penumbra will see a partial eclipse.
A total solar eclipse can only occur when two events happen at the same time.
The first event is a new Moon: This phase of the Moon occurs when the Sun is almost directly behind the Moon, and we see only a sliver of the Sun's light reflected by the Moon. During this time the Moon and the Sun appear close together.
The second event: the Moon must be in the right position, directly in the line of sight between the Earth and the Sun.
These two events occur at the same time, about once every year and a half.

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube 📺
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟
Content and Users 🎵
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact 🤑
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. 📈
