Today is all about the great American eclipse, and there’s a viewing option for almost anyone. Elsewhere, Acorn TV heads to India with “The Good Karma Hospital,” an escapist medical melodrama.

What’s on TV

ECLIPSE OVER AMERICA 9 p.m. on PBS. Those stuck under a rock, or maybe just in an office, when the eclipse plunges a 73-mile-wide swath of the United States into darkness along the “path of totality” can see what they missed with this “Nova” companion piece. Footage shot on Monday by NASA and local public television stations will be interspersed with interviews from scientists using the darkness to better understand the sun’s corona and the potentially deadly solar storms it generates.

Near a screen at midday, when the celestial spectacle begins? LIVE VIEWING OF THE ECLIPSE can be found at noon on Fox News, NASA Television, Science Channel and the Weather Channel, and at 1 p.m. on ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and Univision. It is also streaming at noon on CBSNews.com, CNN.com and NASA.gov/eclipselive; on the Facebook pages of CNN, NBC and NovaPBS; and on the YouTube pages of ABC News, Exploratorium, NASA, PBS NewsHour, Science Channel, Telemundo, Univision and the Weather Channel.
