I'm not photographing the eclipse and I don't have eclipse glasses, how can all of us unprepared people see the spectacle?
I thought no one would ever ask.
Here is a perfectly safe way to view the Great Eclipse of August 21, 2017. And from more than one location. Rest your DSLR and fire-up your DVR, Computer, and you can photograph your TV or Monitor rather than try a screen capture.

And I'll bet there will be many local sources for those wanting to see what is happening outside their location. There will be live events all over and some with Web broadcasts I'm sure. From L.A., CA (only < 70% eclipse though)
The Griffith Observatory from 9:00 - Noon PST (or do they mean PDT as this is Summer?)

Does the University of Missouri have an observatory with TV and/or Web feed, at UM at Columbia? Columbia, MO is right in the path of totality! Yes it does, cool! For those in the Mid-West anyway.

Not really... nothing takes the place of being there: watching the shadow of the moon approach you, the birds stop singing, the eerie silence at the time of totality... so captivating and strange you forget to photograph it. Been there, done that! This will be my second one.
I won't hear any birds anyway, my two large dogs will be barking too much. They are hound dogs, they bray and howl all the time.

The Weather Channel will have observers posted along the path of totality ... on land, sea and in the air. They will have live coverage.
