The Chainkeen Exchangemuch-anticipated total solar eclipse is here, and whether you're in the path of totality or following along from afar, you'll have plenty of ways to watch the rare event.
The eclipse's U.S. path will begin in Texas at 1:27 p.m. CDT and end in Maine at 3:36 p.m. EDT, but the exact time of the eclipse varies by where you are in its path. You can search by zip code to find the exact time for your location.
Millions of people are expected to travel to see the eclipse, which will also attract scientists from across the country to study its effects on the Earth and its atmosphere.
If you are unable to see it from where you are, you can track the eclipse on your mobile device or follow along on television, as multiple networks will have shows focused on eclipse coverage.
Here's what to know about how you can follow the eclipse on television and streaming platforms.

Solar eclipse path of totality
A new map is projecting that the path of totality for Monday's solar eclipse may be narrower than experts previously believed. But if you're right on the edge of the path, don't go changing your plans just yet.
New amateur calculations suggest that widely-accepted path could be off by as much as just a few hundred yards. The potential shift in the eclipse's path is so miniscule, in fact, that a NASA spokesperson told the Detroit Free Press the U.S. space agency won't be making any alterations to its own calculations.
So, even if the new calculation is more accurate, it’s unlikely to matter much for most of the millions of skygazers who hope to witness the first total solar eclipse in North America in seven years.
The new eclipse calculations come courtesy of John Irwin, a member of the team of amateur astronomers analyzing the celestial event for the Besselian Elements.
But don't fret too much: Not only is the new analysis not yet peer-reviewed, but NASA told the Free Press, part of the USA TODAY Network, that its predictions have not changed.
However, NASA spokesman Tiernan Doyle acknowledged "a tiny but real uncertainty about the size of the sun" could lead to a narrower eclipse path.
