I thought I would share a live link to the Total Solar Eclipse on April 8th so anyone who is interested can follow along.
Totality will begin over the Pacific Ocean at 16:38 UCT or 17:38 GMT+1 here in the UK, moving across the United States, until it passes over Newfoundland, Canada, with totality ending at 19:55 UCT or 20:55 GMT+1.
NASA have a live stream available on YouTube, which you can watch here:
If you are travelling to see this celestial coincidence or are lucky enough to live along the path of totality – remember to practice safe Eclipse viewing. Never look directly at the sun, never use binoculars or a telescope to observe the sun without using proper solar filters.
Read more about eclipses and how to view them safely in the October 2023 edition of Stellar Cartography.
