Another incredible total solar eclipse is set to happen on Wednesday, but unlike the Great American Solar Eclipse of 2024, Florida won’t be in the path of totality to see it.
That shouldn’t stop fans from tuning in to watch the solar eclipse live. It’ll also save them from having to dig up their eclipse glasses or scramble to make their own.
NASA will start its live coverage of the solar eclipse at 12:15 p.m. CT. It will feature telescope views, footage from a WB-57 high-altitude research aircraft as it chases the moon’s shadow and commentary from experts who explain everything happening.
Here is how to tune in.
