Partial Solar Eclipse 2018: How to watch
Due to the limited range of influence, the partial solar eclipse will not be live streamed by an agency or observatory. So, those who will get a glimpse of the event will be people who reside in areas over which the eclipse will play out. For any type of solar eclipse, partial or total, undue radiation of ultraviolet and infrared light will be 
dispersed into space. Therefore, to avoid such exposure, viewers should take precautions to wear special solar eclipse glasses, or watch the event through a pinhole camera.
