NASA, Weather, Science Channels have live eclipse coverage - it's started!

Reminder --cuz I haven't heard anyone else give this specific warning -- it is NOT safe to look directly at the sun even at the point of the total eclipse. The corona is still visible and the UV radiation is just as damaging to your delicate eyes.

Keep safe out there people!

On Dish that's NASA on 286, and then 214 and 193 respectively.

Any other look viewing sites?

I'm actually thrilled that the eclipse got so much TV coverage. I got to see everything and all the interviews with the geeky scientists were very informative. Good show!
