11:03 UT/4:03 PDT: Solar researcher Jay Pasachoff will report live from Rîmincu-Vîlcea -- the "exact center" of the eclipse -- where he will be studying rapid oscillations in the corona during totality.

Weather permitting, some of the best eclipse viewing is expected in Romania, where the phenomenon will reach its longest duration (2m, 23s) and the moon's shadow will move at its slowest speed during this event -- 1500 mph. Street festivals are planned all along the country's eclipse path, including the capital city, Bucharest.
