WHAT IS A SOLAR ECLIPSE?

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon is positioned between Earth and the sun and casts a shadow over Earth.

When is the eclipse happening?

In Ontario, the solar eclipse is expected to start at 2:04 p.m. and last for about two and a half hours on Monday, April 8.

Tips for Safe Solar Eclipse Viewing:

  1. Use specifically designed solar filters, like those found in “eclipse glasses” or handheld viewers.
  2. Regular sunglasses are not safe for viewing the eclipse, even if they are dark.
  3. Avoid purchasing cheap eclipse glasses from unauthorized vendors online to prevent the risk of buying unsafe or counterfeit glasses.
  4. Authentic solar filters should only allow you to see the sun or equally bright light, not ordinary lights.
  5. Inspect your solar filter or eclipse glasses for damage before use, avoiding any scratched or dented devices.
  6. Never look at the sun through an unfiltered camera, telescope, or binoculars, as they intensify light rays and can damage your eyes.
  7. Eye damage from unsafe eclipse viewing may occur 4 to 12 hours after exposure.
  8. Protect your eyes by sharing this information with family and friends.
