In Greater Victoria, the viewing period for the eclipse on Monday starts at 10:41 a.m., peaks at 11:29 a.m. and ends at 12:19 p.m. Don’t look directly at the sun without proper eye protection.
“Eclipse cookies” will be on the menu when Randy Enkin and his family and friends look skyward on Monday after travelling to Eastern Canada for a better view of a total solar eclipse. It will just be a 28 per cent eclipse on southern Vancouver Island.
He said he’ll see the event unfold with about 20 others during an eclipse party at his in-laws’ house in Montreal, indulging a passion that began when he watched the 1969 moon landing on television as an eight-year-old. That will be it for a while in Canada, as far as prime eclipse-watching goes. “We don’t get another good one until 2044.”“It will be definitely observable, but a bit underwhelming,” Enkin said.
That spectacle was referred to as a “celestial warm-up act” for Monday’s event by the website Greatamericaneclipse.com. Hold the colander or perhaps a piece of paper with holes in it over your shoulder and look at the ground as the sun shines through, Enkin said.Certified safety glasses with cardboard frames and a special Mylar lens can cost as little as $10, said Enkin, who stresses that it’s always dangerous to look at the sun, whether an eclipse is happening or not.
