2024 solar eclipse totality information
ON APRIL 8, 2024, THERE WILL BE AN EVENT IN ONTARIO, QUEBEC AND THE MARITIMES THAT ONLY HAPPENS EVERY FEW DECADES.
a total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the Usa, and Canada.
A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun.
The sky will darken as if it were dawn or dusk
It’s an interesting fact that the path of totality skips up through the northeast in such a way that both Canadians and Americans will be seeing totality together for a whopping 22 minutes and 40 seconds! That’s right, from the time the shadow first hits Ontario (while it’s still in Ohio), it travels perfectly along the border, allowing folks from both nations to see it at the same time all the way until it leaves Maine. That’s a truly international eclipse!.

Not to cast a shadow on things, but likening a partial eclipse to a total eclipse is like comparing DAY TO NIGHT. I know that 16 percent sounds like worthy coverage. It isn’t. You won’t even notice your surroundings getting dark. And it doesn’t matter whether the partial eclipse above your location is 16, 56, or 96 percent. Only totality reveals the true celestial spectacle: the diamond ring, the Sun’s glorious corona, strange colors in our sky, and seeing stars in the daytime.
During the time the Moon’s disk covers that of the Sun — and only then — it’s safe to look at the eclipse without a solar filter or eclipse glasses. In fact, to experience the awesomeness of the event, you must look at the Sun without a filter during totality.
(And don’t forget to listen to your surroundings, too; wildlife tends to react to a total solar eclipse suddenly passing overhead.)
