We've been told the eclipse is a sight like nothing you've ever seen before. And let's be real, this event would not be complete without videos of the solar eclipse gracing all of our social media feeds.

Clint Werner, an eclipse chaser and expert, spoke with Elite Daily, saying that watchers should expect to be amazed. Werner says,

The rush of the moon's shadow, the sight of the corona, the bizarre surrounding sunset effects, the drop in temperature, the strange behavior of animals and a resulting metaphysical sense of our place in the Universe generate an incomparable experience of pure awe... Avoid alcohol or drugs because the experience is so mind-altering in itself that you will want an unaffected experience of the weirdness.

These shots are absolutely amazing... so settle in, and prepare to swoon. These 12 videos of the solar eclipse are so breathtaking you won't be able to look away.
