To Chile for Solar Eclipse

Hostile dunes, circling vultures, and an ever-present drought—this is the Atacama Desert. However, it offers the perfect conditions for observing the most fascinating phenomenon in the day sky. In this unconventional travel diary, a trio of physicists from Silesian University in Opava, authors of the popular-science YouTube channel Dobré vědět, guide viewers through their experiences on the quest for a total solar eclipse and introduce desert astronomical observatories that serve as meeting points for scientists from all over the world. Panoramic images of the local landscape and night sky untainted by light pollution present a spectacle not found anywhere else. (Academia Film Olomouc)
