The solar eclipse has everyone in North America pumped up, and Twitch streamers are no exception. On April 9, those in North America got the chance to see the incredibly rare total solar eclipse. Many content creators took the opportunity to stream themselves witnessing this incredible event, including the OTK lineup Esfand, Nmplol, and Malena.
