How to Watch the April 8 Total Solar Eclipse from Anywhere

 

The April 8 solar eclipse promises to be a spectacular celestial event, but what if your skies are clouded over during the event or there’s only a partial eclipse where you live? Fear not! There are still ways to witness this awe-inspiring phenomenon.

Live Stream by The Weather Network

To ensure that as many people as possible have a chance to see the total solar eclipse, The Weather Network is hosting a live stream of the event from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. EDT on Monday. Hosted by Anwar Knight and meteorologist Kevin MacKay, the stream will feature live shots of the eclipse from locations in the path of totality throughout Canada — in Ontario, southern Quebec, and central New Brunswick. NASA will also contribute views captured from stations between northern Mexico and Maine. During the live stream, field teams will provide local commentary on this celestial alignment. You can watch this live stream on The Weather Network’s website, their TV channel, YouTube, or via their app.

Other Live Streams

In addition to The Weather Network’s stream, there are other options:

  • University of Toronto’s Dunlap Institute for Astronomy & Astrophysics: They will host their own live stream, and registration for the event is free on their website.
  • NASA: NASA’s public stream will feature live shots of the eclipse, along with expert commentary, from locations wherever the skies are clear along the path of totality. Tune in to NASA+ or visit their website for this remarkable event.

Whether you’re a seasoned skywatcher or a curious first-timer, don’t miss this chance to witness the Moon completely blocking the Sun and revealing the solar corona. Happy eclipse viewing!
