On April 8, 2024, parts of North America will experience a total solar eclipse.
In Toronto, this will be visible as a partial eclipse. At the eclipse's peak, over 99% of the Sun's light will be obscured.
In some other Ontario cities, including Hamilton, Kingston and Niagara Falls, a total solar eclipse will occur. Total coverage of the Sun's light will last for several minutes. The last total solar eclipse visible in Ontario was in 1979 - and the next one will happen in 2099!

Supermoon Forecast: The Moon Hasn't Been This Close in Almost 69 Years
On Monday (Nov. 14) at 6:15 a.m. EST, the moon will arrive at its closest point to the Earth in 2016: a distance of 221,524 miles (356,508 kilometers) away. This distance, which is measured from the center of the Earth to the center of the moon, is within 85 miles (137 km) of the moon's closest possible approach to Earth; to be sure, this is an extreme perigee.
Two hours and 37 minutes after perigee (the moon's closest point to Earth), the orb will officially turn full. In recent years, the media has branded full moons that coincide with perigee as "supermoons," and this month's full moon will likely get a lot of extra attention since it will be the closest since Jan. 26, 1948.
