During last year's Asian eclipse, Indian television networks were the standouts for Web streaming. So it's worth checking in with the streaming TV coverage from these Chilean and Argentinian news networks, just in case they have reporters on Easter Island or the South American mainland:


If you totally miss totality, you can still catch up on the coverage by checking in with Dan Falk's Easter Island dispatches on New Scientist's Culture Lab, plus his Twitter updates. NASA Science News promises to provide post-eclipse images of totality, and the National Geographic Channel is scheduled to air an eclipse special at 11 p.m. ET Sunday. And of course you can rely on msnbc.com to have a full report.
