Stream a live broadcast of the solar eclipse happening now.

A total solar eclipse is just starting in parts of southeast Asia, while people in parts of Alaska, Hawaii, Guam and Borneo will be able to see a partial solar eclipse tomorrow afternoon, according to NASA.

The solar eclipse will start in the early morning of March 9 in Sumatra, Indonesia, and will then cross the international date line, moving northeast across the Pacific Ocean and ending in the late afternoon of March 8 (local time) just short of Hawaii.

However, there are billions of people who don’t have a front row seat to this beautiful and rare event currently taking place, but that doesn’t mean you have to miss it! Starting at 6pm Eastern Time, it will be live-streamed by Slooh Live. Watch the eclipse unfold below:

 

NASA TV will also begin coverage of the eclipse at 8 pm Eastern Time (ET), closer to totality, which occurs from 8:38 pm to 8:42 pm.

If you live in the US and are feeling a little left out, don’t fret!  The next solar eclipse will be visible in the continental United States on August 21, 2017, according to NASA.
