Posted: Apr. 7, 2024 5:45PMParts of Canada will see a total solar eclipse Monday, but those on Vancouver Island will only see a small part of it.According to the Centre of the Universe Observatory in Saanich, unlike the eclipse in 2017 when the Island saw 90 per cent coverage, this totality path is on the other side of the country.
“Then it curves through south of Toronto and south of Montreal, New Brunswick and then off on Newfoundland,” Crabtree explained.“For us in Victoria, only about 28 per cent coverage of the sun by the moon, but still a cool event to see,” he said. “You wouldn’t look directly at the sun normally, and that applies during the eclipse. You don’t look at the sun,” Crabtree said.
He said you can also use a pin camera or a homemade one with cardboard with a small hole in it to watch the shadow of the eclipse.
