Solar Eclipse: All you need to know about the celestial event

Tomorrow, millions of Canadians living in the eastern part of the nation will witness a total solar eclipse, a once-in-a-lifetime event.
The eclipse will be visible across dozens of communities, with cities in the path of totality expecting a large influx of eclipse watchers.
The timing and geography of the eclipse will play a crucial role, as only those in the "path of totality" will be able to witness the full effect.
Eric Sorensen breaks down all the details.

My elementary school in the 80s: There's an eclipse! Heres some special glasses, let's all go outside and look at it! My kids elementary school now: *sends an email* Due to the eclipse we will be keeping the children inside and safe.

Many of us are wondering if this obsession with Trudeau is a little 🌈. Perhaps stop the self hate, there’s nothing wrong with being who you truly want to be.

[@imnotjiggz2611]

I swear to god in my lifetime ive seen like 10 once in a lifetime eclipses

[@CobraXXVI]

Lots of partial eclipses but never full solar. Next one we get is August 23 2044 in Sask, Alberta and BC. I'm going to make a trip for that one. It'll be the last chance for me to fully experience it in my lifetime. If you travelled around the globe you could see one every year and a half, but for NA it's this and 2044 for most of us.

I know, so weird that there's soooo.much hype hmmmm? Maybe people just need a thrill????

[@imnotjiggz2611]

I was more hyped for the end of the world but that was a disappointment too

[@gordboyko769]

I really don’t understand the hype of eclipses . Ive witnessed a couple in my lifetime… and yeah, they are kinda strange. It’s a strange feeling to have it get dark mid day . But knowing what it is and what’s causing it making it a meh 🤷🏻‍♂️ to me . Last one in 2017, I was outside cutting my lawn . It got darker, and I never even stopped cutting my lawn . Then it got lighter again . 🤷🏻‍♂️ it’s a shadow .. we call see shadows every day . This is just on a bigger scale. It’s very over hyped . I can’t imagine travelling somewhere to see it happen . I could honestly care less .

[@happymerchant1]

where can i find documented victims of eye damage by previous eclipses?

[@boatburnerice7925]

same place where you saw this video clip...the internet..but you might not find much...cause those people won't admit it cause they were stupid...did you also vote for trudeau...if yes...please look up during the eclipes and prove the science wrong.

[@MrJabez89]

There is a new invention called the "internet". The internet is amazing and you can research anything you want. I am sure you will find your proof there.

[@meat3958]

Google 👍

[@1dilligaf]

Yeah, I believe everything you read on Google. I’m 63 years old. I’ve been through a few eclipses. I don’t know anybody that’s got damage from it, but I don’t know anybody that’s stupid enough anybody dumb enough to stare at the sun

Solar eclipses aren't a once in a life time....

[@AirShark95]

They are over a particular region. They happen all the time, but in different parts of the earth.

[@H0peKnight]

Fr this is my 2nd one

[@kevintaylor791]

Not all solar eclipses are the same, unless you have the resources to get yourself to near Point Nemo for 5 minutes a few years from now, you won't see one like this again for a LONG time. I actually feel bad for you that you don't understand the significance. Frankly I respect the nutjob that think it's the rapture more than I respect the "too cool to look at it" crowd.

[@michaelzhbanov2083]

​@@kevintaylor791 lol cause you're acting like it's sooo amazing, it unique it's beautiful. It's just a eclipse, not everyone wants to waste there time look at the sky. It's not significant at all it doesn't benefit anyone I'm one bit. So relax

[@1dilligaf]

The way they’re carrying on. I’m starting to wonder if you’re even going to survive this.

I’m in Woodstock Ontario and from what I heard and read on website that say if your in the path of totality we are just out with like a 99. Something chance

[@JoeGibbsRacingTruex19]

I heard about this on Thursday morning, but I'm keeping my eyes on ground when solar eclipse appears cuz I don't want my eyes hurt!

[@jackj3542]

Theirs some sort of eclipse around the world every 18 months that nobody makes a big deal out of, but it’s crosses North America and the craziness starts 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@skell_]

How come they can predict the path of the moon so easily but they can't predict the weather right?

[@chrisvielle6629]

Your question is very dumb. One day I hope you realize why.

[@tristanridley1601]

If you're honestly asking, consider one question: How many objects are interacting for the eclipse? How many for weather?

[@ravenwda007]

Weather is hard to predict. Massive objects in space are easier

[@billclay9511]

You'll learn about that in high school

If you have the glasses on can you look at it the entire time?

[@mattmourad601]

once its a total eclipse (if your in the right spot) you can even take them off for a bit but only if its full totality. You can just look at the sun without an eclipse with the glasses on and be fine.

They are right; a TOTAL eclipse will not have the same path for us, for the next 122 years. So you think you will live another 122 years? You obviously don’t understand the science.

I stacked containers for a living, I look up stacking 5 to 7 containers up high while the sun is burning my eyes. How is it, an eclipse makes it worse? It doesn't.
