Watch the July 2009 Solar Eclipse Online: Live Streaming

UPDATE: Live stream available here.

We already know that Tuesday’s solar eclipse will be one of the most-watched events in our lifetime. This total solar eclipse will last over six and a half minutes and it will be visible, among other places, in parts of India, Butan, Nepal, Bangladesh, China, Japan, and the Marshall Islands.

The next solar eclipse that will last this long won’t take place until June 13, 2132.

So, if you don’t live in a location where you can view the eclipse, what are you to do? Watch it online of course. We’ll have a live streaming feed up on our homepage as soon as it becomes available. Here are a few other places where you can watch it…
