People who live in Chile, Argentina, and select regions of the Pacific Ocean will have the chance to admire a spectacular total solar eclipse on Tuesday, July 2nd. Those who can’t visit South America in the following days have the option to experience the remarkable phenomenon with the help of online streaming.
It is estimated that the eclipse will follow a path of totality (the scientific name for the complete darkening) across a narrow section of the southern Pacific area, and across Argentina and Chile.
The Exploratorium museum, which is found in San Francisco, will offer a live stream, beaming the event as it is captured by the Cerro Tololo Observatory, which is placed in Chile. The broadcast will begin with telescope views from Chile. A coverage featuring commentary from the Exploratorium and NASA researchers will offer a vast amount of theoretical information which is quite impressive. It is estimated that the live stream will begin at 12:23 Pacific.

A second choice is also available at the European Southern Observatory will stream the eclipse as it is perceived by the La Silla Observatory, which can be found near the Atacama Desert in Chile. In this case, the stream will start at 12:15 p.m. Pacific.
The so-called eclipse fever was a national phenomenon in 2017 as millions of Americans enjoyed one of the rarest and most spectacular celestial events that can be seen with the naked eye. The main route followed by the eclipse may be a bit narrow, but astronomers believe that a generous area of South America will observe the shadow of the moon as it embraces the sun.
A total solar eclipse tends to occur once every 360 years in a specific location. As we live in the apex of the digital age distance is no longer an issue as millions of internet users will admire the event from the comfort of their homes.
