Partial eclipse will be visible across Canada

You could seriously damage your eyes




Looking directly at the sun during the eclipse without proper eye wear would harm your eyes “like a magnifying glass on a leaf,”


Canada is still in for a treat with a partial eclipse, though. Imagine the sun as "a glowing cookie with a bite taken out of it," says Matt West of the Saint John Astronomy Club, noting that the rare moment is "exciting" instead of "overwhelming" like totality.


Plus, viewing events are being held across Canada, from Ottawa's Canada Aviation and Space Museum to McGill University to Victoria's Mount Tolmie Park. No matter which party Canadians choose to crash, they should don eclipse glasses to prevent serious eye damage.

Toronto will enjoy 70 per cent coverage, Calgary 77 per cent and Vancouver 86 per cent, according to the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada.
