A total solar eclipse is happening today, but it will only be visible in parts of Southeast Asia. A partial eclipse will be visible in parts of Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and American Samoa. Even if you can’t see the solar eclipse where you live, you can still view it online live as it’s happening. Slooh and NASA are both hosting live feeds of the eclipse. Above will be NASA’s livestream of live telescope views, unedited and without commentary. This livestream will show other NASA programming until the feeds begin at 7:00 p.m. Eastern.
Below will be live coverage of the 2016 solar eclipse from Micronesia. This livestream will begin at 8:00 p.m. Eastern and will show other NASA programming until it kicks off:

This year’s total solar eclipse isn’t viewable by anyone in the United States (although some areas, like Alaska, will be able to see a partial eclipse.) The next time you’ll be able to see a total solar eclipse in the U.S. will be in August 2017.
