neil degrasse tyson is an astrophysicist at the american museum of natural history in new york city.ch as anything, is about how many people can get to it. >> the a clips itself goes over -- the eclipse itself goes over major metropolitan areas. major cities including minneapolis, niagara falls. people can sit in their backyards and experience a total eclipse. reporter: what would you recommend that people do, get in their cars and go? >> yes. if you are in a place where the moon has covered 99% of the sun, that little sliver that remains is equivalent to the light of 10,000 full moons. if you are not in totality, you are not in totality. reporter: i think we intuitively know that the moon is a lot smaller than the sun. so how is it possible for it to cover the entire diameter of the sun? >> we have a fortunate set of circumstances as earthlings. no other planet has this feature. the sun is 400 times further away than the moon is and it is four hundred times wider. those factors geometrically cancel each other if you want to think of it that way so they look the same size on the sky.

[ringing] i learned all that from neil degrasse tyson.ple got to experience today's eclipse from 30,000 feet, because some airlines offered special flights to chase the eclipse path around the country. okay, that sounds cool. but the windows are here, the sun's up there. and even if the plane does barrel rolls, what if you're in the middle seat? "could you just lean back a little? open the shade a little more? no? no? okay, fine. well, i get to watch "napoleon."" of course, an eclipse is always a good opportunity to ponder our place amongst the stars. but it's also a great time to see your pets go crazy. in fact, scientists warned pet owners that their furry friends may exhibit "strange behaviors." and i'm being told we have footage of one dog during the eclipse. >> outta my way! >> stephen: it happens. that was happening all over the line of totality. it's not just pets. experts also said that most animals would likely be confused by the darkness and start their nighttime routines. aww. animals have nighttime routines?

[cheering] a little delayed. a little delayed. first up, climate researchers say that the environment of the desert planet in "dune" is plausible, according to science. it's upsetting to know that in the future, our entire planet could be turned into a desert hellscape. but what's truly terrifying... is knowing that even 10,000 years in the future, there will still be bagpipes. researchers used computer modeling and found that the climate on arrakis is conceivable. but noted that the book describes polar ice caps receding in the summer heat. but it would be far too hot at the poles during the summer for

. >>> there's some other excitement going on, the countdown to what could be, as neil degrasse tysont in the history of civilization, the total solar eclipse. >> serious words there. tour is are flocking to cities on the path of totality, hoping of to see the once in a generation event. check this out. this map shows short-term rentals on april 8th booked solid, as you can see, along the path of totality. >> nbc news correspondent priscilla thompson is in in a path in dallas, the largest city in the path. priscilla, you've been talking to business owners. where are you now, i don't know where you are, but you've been talking to folks about tourism. >> yeah, kate, zinhle, the city of grapevine is going all out, giving tourists here an opportunity to ride into that historic eclipse in this more than 100-year-old train, they're doing two special excursions on monday to mark the special occasion, it's just a little bit of what's going on here, and i spoke with elizabeth, with visit grapevine about what all of this means for business owners here, want to play some of what she told me. how

she did say yes so it's interesting, i was talking to neil degrasse tyson the other day and he said it's very it's worthwhile noting what happens to animals, to the animal kingdom during an eclipse, all kinds of weird things happen. but he said perhaps the most unusual things or the human beings and watching human behavior that eclipse is an extraordinary thing. what if we were here with thousands of young people and the energy was just palpable. it was an amazing experience. certainly was. and i think you speak for so many of us. when you pointed out if you were clearly very moved by this experience how did you feel during these few minutes of complete totality >> if things get quiet, that experience at the wind dying down, that happened as well, there's this really strange light temperature, which is very difficult for me to describe. it's kinda bluish, almost gray light which is really eerie and you don't see it in any other context. it is, it's a reminder wealth that we are part of a big celestial system kind of very small pieces in that system but for me, also, it's a great reminder
