Today, there will be a Total Solar Eclipse. Sadly for those of us in North America, we won’t be able to see it since the angle between Earth, Moon and Sun doesn’t align for the Moon’s shadow to fall on this part of the Earth.
However, it is visible from the South Pacific area, including Australia. The event begins there just after sunrise.
There are going to be many teams in the area watching and recording this event.
The 2 links below will be providing Live Streams of the Solar Eclipse. (A Google search will likely turn up others.) You can watch all of this celestial rare event from either of these links. The Live Feeds will begin around 2:30 (Slooh) or 3pm (Ustream) Eastern (EST) time. The Slooh page has some interesting tools to allow you to take snapshots of the feed for saving or posting to your page.
I hope you’ll find the time to watch this. It’s bound to be very interesting.
I’m sure both of these sites, plus others will provide playback later if you can’t watch this afternoon.
