Eric Blackhurst, a member of the Exploratorium/NASA eclipse team, adjusts a camera at a Roman amphitheater in the Mediterranean resort of Side, Turkey on Tuesday, in preparation for the total solar eclipse.
Nothing can compare with being right in the track of totality for a few precious minutes, even if you have to travel thousands of miles to be there. But what if you’re stuck in the States? Will Americans be totally in the dark when the moon’s shadow sweeps over Earth early Wednesday?
Never fear: Even though Wednesday’s total solar eclipse won’t come anywhere near North America, you can still see a small-screen version of the spectacle on your computer monitor, courtesy of the Internet and a fearless band of Webcasters.
There are even a couple of consolations for computer-based eclipse watchers: You might be able to get five or six glimpses as the blacked-out sun, depending on how many Webcams you can click onto in the course of the morning. And you won’t have to worry about protecting your eyes, either.
