If you haven't made plans to travel to China or Russia for the total solar eclipse, you'll have to settle for watching a webcast.

These sites are planning live coverage of the 2008 eclipse in China and Russia:

Exploratorium
NASA
University of North Dakota
NovosibirskGuide.com
Astronation
Live! Eclipse

Check the program schedule for each site. Remember that if the times are given in UT (Universal Time), you can convert it to your local time using your UT offset.

Maximum totality is at approximately 10:21 UT. That's 6:21am EDT, 3:21am PDT, and 11:21am in most of Europe. Note that the eclipse begins about two hours prior to that and ends another two hours later.
