Love or Hate ’em you will always remember your high school teachers. Nothing will overshadow the influence they had on you.
Well I think the moon overshadowed them for about 3 minutes.
@@brainandforceLegendary joke💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
they have no influence on me. my elementary and middle school teachers did though
Awesome
As an educator I LOVED this story! I disliked my 9th grade science teacher and despite this I LOVE the wonder of nature and science.
This is just lovely❤ Heartwarming ❤
Beautiful story!!
We had some great teachers back then! They made science amazing!
ok
ok
Truly, teachers impact is giant!
ok
Had some great students back then too. I teach college level physics & astronomy, but for one semester a high school wanted an astronomy teacher so I figured why not (inner city high school mind you) and yeah… that was rough. Meanwhile, I get high school aged kids coming to my college because they can’t get the education at their current school or whatever, and they almost always are an absolutely delight, such that if I had a classroom of that type of high school student it would be fantastic!
So awesome!
The fact that he said my kids, even after decades later, that speaks volumes of this professor 🥲
My favorite 2024 solar eclipse story by far!
Friggin awesome, teachers, they can be a pain, but more on the great side. Way to go.
lol he looks younger than some of his students!! This is so cool though
So true!
That’s pretty cool.
Great story
That’s insane ❤
IM CRYING
got me ballin over here
*bawlin

He looks better and more youthful than half of his students, and still towers over all of them.
I’m sure he takes care of himself. Healthy diet and lifestyle will go a long way in preserving youthfulness. You cannot change your genetics but you certainly can change your lifestyle.
@@brandonwood3442 He’s exemplary even into his golden years. I’ll bet none of his peers are able to say that even 4+ decades later he’s still the COOL TEACHER in the eyes of his students lol!
No need to pick at them
How lovely! What a nice story.
Very heartwarming story
Beautiful 🎉
Beautiful story ❤
They should totally put this one down as the “Moriarty Eclipse” 😄 just like “Sozan’s Sun” from Avatar: The last Airbender
Good story. Too bad they did not see the actual eclipse from all the clouds in Rochester.
Aww 🫠 so sweet!
You are an amazing teacher when you can convince over 100 of your own former students to come back for a solar eclipse event! What an amazing person! May you be blessed for many years in this great nation!
❤❤
Moriarity’s back hahaha
Jokes aside, the fact that so many of his students remembered the promise and made a point to come back warms the cockles of my heart
“Cockles” 🤨
@@The_Essential_Review Hah – the idiom’s rather antiquated but it made a comeback in my country a couple of years ago when a beloved opposition politician was memed for using it in his constituency’s election speech.
How did this dude even know about the eclipse way back then? I need some future Super Bowl scores from him. 😂
We know about eclipse locations for the next 100 years currently

I had two science teachers like this in junior high. I am still in contact with one via Facebook over 20 years later. I have also gone back to visit my old drama teacher. Some teachers really do leave an impact
None for me. I didn’t like any of my teachers sadly.
You can tell he was a great teacher.
What a wonderful teacher! Sigh… my science teacher is a bit of a Karen, but science is still amazing!!!
God Bless Guy’s great story 💪🇺🇲
“Is there going to be a test on Friday?” 😂
crazy that Terry Silver reunited that much students to watch an extraordinary eclipse.
“Is there going to be a test on friday?” I laughed like a dumb donkey at that
He’s cooler than the eclipse. What a magical moment. ❤
Likely 7 year old promise… Though those promises are highly committed and a long time to keep it.
That’s sweet I still have some old teachers from back then as friends on fb. Plus I have visit some throughout the years.
The report said he made the same statement about meeting during the eclipse for 16 years after 1978. So the students could have been from 1978 to 1994.
That’s gotta be a little surreal seeing the kids you taught and they’re old now too.
This is a beautuful reunion I’m glad they got toghether after so many years 😊!
Wonderful
This is seriously one of the coolest things I’ve ever heard!
Awww
These are the teachers who make school life amazing! What a wonderful man!
💯
🤗
He has to be a great earth science teacher to be able to predict the eclipse exactly on April 8th, 2024
That’s an incredible teacher.
“Is there gonna be a test on Friday?” 😂
Wow, I’m bawling over here!
But why 2024 specifically?
Because that was when the path of totality would include their town.
Good humans ✌️
Alright. Hands down the best eclipse story 😢
Huh…. What a great story
Wonderful!!!
As a teacher…I’m totally going to do this for 2045
Just remember to be talented. 99% of teachers are 🗑️
The world really needs more of this right now
There’s plenty of it. It’s just the media that tells you otherwise
He needs a mic because so many students
The teacher looks the same age as the students 🤔
After a certain age everyone looks like garbage
I feel blessed to have gotten to witness one complete, 100% solar eclipse in my lifetime on a bright sunny day with a massive crowd of people on a beautiful college campus separated from the city. We were able to watch every aspect of it through our glasses. What an incredible and wonderful day that was! Loved the Clemson campus. Summer 2017, very thankful to the folks who hired me while I was living in my car at that time, otherwise I would not have been able to afford the gas to go.
I wonder how long it took to grow that beard
love is timeless. never forget.
This kind of love is like 30 years old lol
Michael Scott should have done this instead.
It’s a crazy story when you realize that most of these students are in their 50s now, this teacher has to be in his 70s or 80s.
Actually I looked it up and this teacher’s only 68 years old and started teaching when he was 22, wow.
Awwwwwwwwwww❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
This is the most wholesome thing I will see in a long time.
He kept a promise for 46 years and I still haven’t met anyone who can keep a promise for 46 seconds. A rare person, who created his own rare event, far more inspiring than any solar eclipse in the past half-century. I wish more news stories looked like this.
I promise that if you reply to this message, I will reply back to you. Well, at least for maybe the next 46 seconds.
I’m curious to know how his past self would have thought of how everyone would have kept in touch with his students? They probably had a phone directory, but it could’ve been easy to lose touch with people with number changes, etc. Communication technology has come such a long way in the past half century. That date reminder was probably a mouse-click away on Facebook.
Oh, how wonderful! ❤
I love this human ❤
That’s when you know you made an impact on kids’ lives. Visiting you that much time later? Must be a cool dude
Amazing
I’m crying, how beautiful 😭
How much wine have you had? 😂
@@jake-qn3tl I don’t drink alcohol😄
Amazing!! #TeacherGoals
Love this❤
Looks like he appealed to the lowest common denominator
This is AWESOME you did this, Mr. Moriarity!! I told other people about this! You are privileged to mister moriarty and your students were privileged to have you as a teacher as well!!!!
I hope they all saved the date for the next North American Eclipse in 2044. I’m around the same age as these people. I’ll be 80 in 2044. 😳😳😊😊
wow!
Amazing! Im so happy for them all❤
Amazing having such a positive impact on your students, that they come to the event he talked about, more than 40 years ago.
See the solar eclipse was a net positive on society
All I hear is positive news
This is the kind of stuff we need in this country
Dumb boomers
Wonderful👍👍👍👍
I’d like to see more news stories about _Planned Acts of Kindness_ , instead of the _Random Acts of Violence_ NY headlines we normally get. Good people deserve more attention.
Imagine waiting this long and it was a cloudy day…
