On August 11, 1999, at 3:00 a.m. PST, the Exploratorium presented a live webcast of a total solar eclipse that passed across Europe and Asia. The program included direct satellite communication with our expedition team, reporting from a crowded square in Amasya, Turkey, a town along the path of totality. Flash back to the eclipse here.
