Where to Watch the Total Solar Eclipse Online
The longest total solar eclipse of the 21st century is happening right now, only visible from Asia. For an incredible 6 minutes and 39 seconds, the ocean east of Japan will go completely dark as the moon covers the sun. You’re not likely to live to 2132 when the next eclipse of such a duration happens, so go tune in now!
A free NDTV webcast from India showing the view from various locations is here.
Here are some live shots from Japan, China and Kiribati.
You can pay €9.95 to watch video of the eclipse from Yangshan Island south of Shanghai here.
Here is a user video feed from Japan on Livestream’s new Twitcam service. Livestream says an archive will be available at the same address after the event ends.
Here are some more eclipse-viewing resources; let us know if you see any other great streams.
Update, after the fact:
