1. NASA’s live coverage of the 2020 total solar eclipse
US space agency, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), will be live streaming the total solar eclipse on 14 December 2020 on its official channel on YouTube called NASA Television.

The first two will take live streams from Chile and Argentina from various eclipse-chasers with telescopes trained on the Sun and Moon, while the latter will have only its own production team on the ground.
