On April 8, 2024, a spectacular and rare celestial event is set to unfold over Canada, the United States and Mexico – a total solar eclipse. As the Moon aligns perfectly between Earth and the Sun, temporary darkness will sweep across parts of the country, captivating countless spectators.

      Toronto will get 95% eclipse … with eclipse glasses, it will still be amazing to see with proper protective lenses, the moon almost completely blocking out the sun

        I really hope so! That would be exciting! I was planning to make one of those eclipse boxes, which I made for the last solar eclipse we had, but I may also go with eclipse glasses, too!

      I bet you won’t even notice the sun isn’t fully eclipsed. Toronto is so close to that “limit”

        I’m sure we’ll catch something, like a change in the light temperature, but it would be nothing compared to a total eclipse (darkness).

      Luckily you could experience the total solar eclipse as close as in Hamilton.
