Want to watch Mercury's rare journey across the sun?
Visit this page Monday, May 9, starting at 7 a.m. EDT.
You'll be able to watch at least part of the transit from almost anywhere in the world, with the exceptions of Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, and other South Pacific islands.
NASA TV and a site called Slooh are streaming live video of the astronomical spectacle, which officially starts at 7 a.m. EDT, and we've embedded their video players below.
Here's how to watch.
Live feed #1: Slooh
Tech Insider recommends watching Slooh's feed first, and not just because it will show the eclipse a full hour ahead of NASA.
The company has partnered with more than two dozen observatories all around the world, allowing them to record and stream almost any astronomical event.
Slooh fills their broadcasts with helpful commentary from a rotating cast of astronomers and other experts, giving you the low-down on what's going on and why.
Their feed will be recorded from Indonesia (one of the first locations to see Tuesday's eclipse) and broadcast through YouTube. It should go live around 7 a.m. EDT.
But tune in sooner than that to watch the eclipse progress and absorb the helpful information.
Live feed #2: NASA TV (and Facebook)
If you miss Slooh's feed, or are looking for a transit encore, tune into NASA TV's public feed and Facebook page.
The space agency will be hosting a roundtable with scientists discussing the planetary transit.
You can ask the panel questions on Facebook and and Twitter using the hashtag #AskNASA.
Their coverage should start around 7 a.m. EDT, and the panel is set to start at 10:30 a.m.
If you're in the eastern US, you'll be able to watch the whole show live, starting at 7 am EDT. Just make sure your binoculars or telescope has a solar filter to avoid damaging your eyes.
