Make way for a memorable Monday as a solar eclipse arrives across the Maritimes in the afternoon.

Parts of the region will experience total daytime darkness for up to three minutes and 20 seconds, as the moon aligns perfectly between the sun and Earth.

The eclipse’s path of totality includes central New Brunswick, the western tip of Prince Edward Island, and Cape Breton’s Meat Cove area in Nova Scotia.

Other parts of the Maritimes will experience a partial solar eclipse.

Do not look directly at the eclipse’s partial phase at any time without wearing certified safety eyeglasses.

Portions of Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec, Ontario, as well the United States and Mexico, will also experience Monday’s total solar eclipse.
