Watch the live solar eclipse 2020
The Virtual Telescope Project will begin its webcast at 1:30 a.m. EDT (0530 GMT). The company is based in Rome, but will partner with imagers and videographers in Africa and Asia "thanks to very generous people willing to share their views with the world," said founder Gianluca Masi in a statement.
"Yes, it will be somewhat unique; the … solar eclipse will happen soon after the solstice, making the event even more fascinating," Masi added.
Participants in The Virtual Telescope Project's webcast so far include Masi himself, Ahmed Saad (Karachi, Pakistan), the Taqwa Observatory in Pakistan, Space India, the Astronomical Society of Somalia, Abu Dhabi's International Astronomical Center, Ali Abdullah (Lahore, Pakistan) and Lij Tuha (Dodola, Ethiopia.)
