Where to watch the April 8 solar eclipse in Ottawa
CTV
Here are some events happening in the Ottawa region and across eastern Ontario on April 8
On April 8, Ottawa will be treated to a solar eclipse.
Ottawa will see a partial solar eclipse, with about 98.87 per cent of the sun being covered by the moon. The eclipse will begin at 2:11 p.m. and will reach its peak at 3:25 p.m. The entire event will end by 4:35 p.m.
The city of Ottawa will not have an official viewing event for the eclipse, as the city falls outside of the path of totality.
While not a total eclipse, the sun will be fully covered by the moon and a deep partial eclipse is sure to bring fascinating sky darkening and edge effects for Ottawa residents.
Those wanting to see the total eclipse will have to travel south to cities along the U.S.-Canada border, including Brockville, Cornwall and Kingston.
