Totality online

Mir view of 1999 eclipseI don’t know if WorldbyStorm managed to catch a glimpse of the partial solar eclipse over the archipelago this morning but if, like me, you didn’t, you can watch NASA’s online broadcast of the total version from China. There are other viewing options too. The image is the Aug. 11, 1999 solar eclipse as viewed from the Mir space station. Adds short clip of totality here
