Japan will see its first major solar eclipse in 25 years on May 20. Panasonic -- one of Japan's largest electronics producers -- wanted to celebrate the celebrate this rare natural phenomenon, by live streaming the event from the peak of Fujiyama -- otherwise known as Mount Fuji.

The broadcast crew, along with engineers and mountain guides, will only use solar energy during the expedition to Japan's highest peak. The team will carry video cameras, rechargable batteries and computers.

At the summit, the crew will brave blinding light from the sun at 12,388 feet above sea level. Fuji's peak is the highest in Japan. It happens to be the exact bullseye for viewing the total eclipse, known as the central phase.

The team will also have to combat the freezing cold. People generally only climb Fuji during July and August, and even then the range is still covered in snow.

You can watch the live broadcast on the "Eclipse Live From Fujiyama by Solar Power" website. The project also has a Facebook page and Twitter account for project updates.
