NASA will be livestreaming the total solar eclipse as well. 

Eyes to the skies – we’re preparing to capture the upcoming solar eclipse in a way only NASA can.On August 9, our WB-57 high-altitude aircraft took off from Ellington Field in preparation to capture the Moon covering the Sun on August 12. The team will take off from Iceland and fly in the path of the eclipse, sending back views for researchers to learn more about the celestial event.

You can visit timeanddate.com’s page for the August 12 total solar eclipse to view an interactive map and determine whether you will see any portion of the eclipse, as well as the timing of the event. Note that during a partial eclipse, you must use eclipse glasses labeled with ISO 12312–2 or ISO 12312–2:2015 when viewing the Sun at all times. Sunglasses are not sufficient to protect your eyes. Make sure your glasses or filters are not scratched or otherwise damaged. If you choose to view the Sun through a solar telescope or with a solar filter, make sure to cover the finder scope to avoid accidentally glancing through it.
