Artist’s concept of a total solar eclipse, via WBNG.
NASA Television will air a four-hour show – Eclipse Across America – which will include live video of the event, along with coverage of activities in parks, libraries, stadiums, festivals and museums across the nation, and on social media. NASA’s show begins at 15:00 UTC (11 a.m. EDT; translate to your time zone), or later (we’ve seen this time waffle around a bit). Check the website for changes or further details. Ways to watch via NASA include:
NASA Live Stream Page
NASA Facebook Live
NASA YouTube
Twitter/Periscope
Twitch TV
Ustream
NASA Apps
NASA EDGE could be fun, too. It’s NASA’s “edgier,” unscripted live feed. The live NASA EDGE “megacast” will air for four hours from outside Saluki Stadium in Carbondale in partnership with the NASA Heliophysics Education Consortium, Southern Illinois University Carbondale, and Lunt Solar Systems. The megacast kicks off at 15:45 UTC (11:45 a.m. EDT; translate to your time zone). In the show, NASA will interact with scientists and members of the public across the country and offer interviews with scientists, social-media chat, educational activities, and telescope feeds.
The Ballooning Project stream will send video from high-altitude balloons launched by 55 teams of university and high school students, scientific research groups, and other eclipse enthusiasts. Viewers can pick the balloon they want to watch via an interactive map on the website. The balloons use Iridium and GPS satellites, lightweight radio modems, Raspberry Pi computers, and live streaming video to collect data. They will fly along the path of totality from 100,000 ft up, so viewers will see an angle of the eclipse that shows the curvature of the Earth against the blackness of space.
The Virtual Telescope Project will live-stream the eclipse and invites everyone to send your eclipse images for possible publication online. Send eclipse photos to info @ virtualtelescope.eu.
The Exploratorium science museum in San Francisco – one of the nation’s most established and energetic science museums – is partnering with NASA to produce five live feeds of the eclipse. Part of the museum’s feed will be narrated in Spanish as well as English. The feeds will be available to the public and media organizations via Satellite, the Switch, and by downloading the museum’s free Android or iOS app or visiting the Exploratorium’s Eclipse Web Page. The Exploratorium feed begins around 17:00 UTC (1 p.m. EDT; translate to your time zone), or earlier. It will consist of: 1. A telescope feed from Casper, Wyoming; 2. A telescope feed from Madras, Oregon; 3. A one-hour English language educational eclipse program with scientific explanations by Exploratorium and NASA scientists; 4. A one-hour Spanish language educational eclipse program with scientific explanations by Exploratorium scientists; 5. Live performance by Kronos Quartet and eclipse sonification from San Francisco.
CNN will live-streamed the eclipse. Volvo Car USA and CNN have joined forces to deliver the solar eclipse via 360° video in 4K resolution and virtual reality, through what they say is “a unique editorial and branded content campaign.” They say it will “offer an immersive experience to those not in the narrow path of the total eclipse.”
If you sign up to be a member, Slooh – a robotic telescope streaming service, with partnerships at observatories around the world – is offering commentary from scientists, eclipse-safety experts, and cultural correspondents, from a base in Stanley, Idaho. The stream should start around 16:00 UTC (noon EDT; translate to your time zone). Watch Slooh’s event here.
Bottom line: Ways to watch the August 21, 2017 total solar eclipse online.
