Events Description

 
Canada will see a partial solar eclipse when the highly anticipated total eclipse of August 21, 2017 traverses the narrow path on land from Oregon to South Carolina.

Those in Toronto will can experience ~ 76% Solar Eclipse.

While you can view the eclipse safely by using a solar filter made specifically for the purpose of viewing a solar eclipse (remember, it is not safe to view the Sun without appropriate filters) at a location of your choosing, many viewing parties are organised in Toronto by RASC chapters and various University Astronomers.

Solar Telescopes will be set up on the grounds at most locations, and free eclipse glasses will be distributed at most venues (while supplies last).
