April 8: Important Solar Eclipse Info

by

On April 8, 2024, from 2:00 PM to 4:30 PM, parts of Leeds & Grenville will experience a total solar eclipse. All other areas of Leeds, Grenville & Lanark will experience a partial solar eclipse. During an eclipse, the Moon passes in front of the Sun (completely or partially) blocking the sun and casting a shadow on the Earth’s surface. This event will affect daylight. Looking at the Sun with your naked eyes during the eclipse could burn your retinas, blur your vision or cause you to lose your eyesight. The only safe way to view the eclipse is with glasses that are ISO-certified and meet the ISO 12312-2 international safety standard.
