In a few hours, there is a solar eclipse that will be visible with a track that goes from Spain up through Greenland. Too late to travel for it, but thanks to [jonty], you can find all the webcams that will have a view.
This may be ideal. No funny glasses. No looking at a projected image on a card. Of course, many, if not all, of these cameras aren’t looking directly at the sun, so it isn’t clear if you’ll be able to see the actual eclipse or just the effect it has on the surroundings.
If you prefer more science, try the NASA feed below.
Or, you could see what ESA is broadcasting from Javalambre, Spain:
Or, try the telescope view version:
Want to know what it might look like from a particular spot? Harvard has you covered. If you want to feel more realistic, try wearing some regular sunglasses while watching just for the fun of it.
We wish we could watch our eclipses from the lunar surface. Of course, you can always make your own eclipse.
I am expecting to see at best about 15% blocked by about 1:30 PM EDT in my part of Michigan.
Didn’t even get that here. Have to wait till 2036.
90%+ over here in Northern Europe, nice to watch the sun itself as it gets covered, but difficult to notice without looking at it because the environment gets darker slow enough for your eyes to adjust. Not comparable to the 100% “wow” factor.
Scheduling an eclipse around sunset, instead of the middle of the day when it has a lot more impact, is ridiculous. I’m going to complain to management.
Seriously, went out with a home-made pinhole apparatus, bunch of neighbors were out with glasses. Good time was had by all.
Ridiculous? I was glorious! Seeing the Black Sun setting over the horizon had a very dramatic effect, almost like out of a movie.
Already looking for accommodation for next year’s one.
I made an imperfect time lapse of the partial eclipse on the southern coast in the UK.
