North America will experience a total solar eclipse today, gradually turning a band from Mexico to Canada as dark as night as the moon’s shadow casts across the Earth below. For observers outside the region, there’s still a way to see the eclipse via streaming.

Watchers in Mazatlán, Mexico, will be the first in continental North America to experience the total eclipse at approximately 11:07 am PST. From there, it’ll cross over the border into Texas and across the United States to the eastern shores of Canada. A partial eclipse will be visible across most of North and Central America. NASA has a detailed map for those wishing to follow along at home.

Outside North America, there’s still a way to see the eclipse. Through the power of the internet, several science agencies are live-streaming the event.

The National Science Foundation, an independent agency of the United States federal government, has set up a live stream of the eclipse and will share research from solar physicists.
