FAROE ISLANDS -- Clouds, schmouds. There's no need to let the weather affect your view of Friday's total solar eclipse. In fact, there's no reason to let your current location on the planet affect it, either.

The total eclipse will only be visible on land from the Faroe Islands and Svalbard, Norway, and the partial eclipse will only be visible from Europe and northern Africa and Asia. Live streams, however, will be visible from any device with an Internet connection.

Follow Mashable on Twitter for live updates from our editors in the Faroe Islands and UK.

To view the eclipse as it happens, there are several options:

A live stream from the Mogens Winther Observatory at Alssundgymnasiet Sønderborg (AGS) in Denmark, begins at 9 a.m. CET Friday (4 a.m. ET/1 a.m. PT), with first contact at 9:38:30, maximum (81.7 %) at 10:46:16 and last contact at 11:56:40.

The Virtual Telescope Project will live stream the eclipse, and astrophysicist Dr. Gianluca Masi will provide commentary.

The BBC will have a live webcam, beginning at 9 a.m. GMT.
