For 1 minute and 40 seconds, darkness descended upon us in a way words can't describe. In this unprocessed timelapse, you'll see how a band of dark sky passed over us, with Venus shining bright while the moon and sun were doing their thing low over the horizon.

Just mind-blowing. In fact it felt like living a mystical experience, at one with nature. In a way, it was the sort of cosmic connection you also get while being out at sea, on a night watch, when sailing by the stars.
