Where to See the Annular Solar Eclipse Online
If you're not in the path of this weekend's annular solar eclipse, bookmark this page for some online viewing options.
This weekend will offer a view of the “ring of fire” eclipse, or at least a partial eclipse of the Sun, to some of Asia and much of the U.S. The rest of the world (including U.S.'s Eastern seaboard) isn't so lucky, but don't worry: there are plenty of places where you can view this spectacular event online.

thanks to Hong Kong Observatory and Hong Kong Space Museum - Live from Boulder, CO, a hydrogen-alpha view of the Sun:
Since hydrogen-alpha shows us the Sun's chromosphere, you'll be able to see stringy filaments cross the Sun and prominences at its edge. Coverage will last until 7:18pm (Boulder time), 12 minutes before the fullest eclipse.
Also from Boulder, CO, the white-light view of the Sun's visible surface, visible until sunset around 7:45pm: - From Arizona, Jerry W. at Night Skies Network writes; "Please feel free to check us out on Sunday at approx. 5 p.m. Mountain Standard Time [0:00 UT]. I myself will be broadcasting from Channel name Cosmicviewsphxaz. Enjoy the view!"
- Watch University of North Dakota's Sun Earth Moon Systems (SEMS) live broadcast from Redding, CA.

At Boulder, first contact occurs at 6:22 MDT. We expect to lose the chromosphere view around 7:18, about 12 minutes before maximum eclipse here (86%). The photosphere camera should be able to follow until sunset over the foothills around 7:45.
