Whether through a telescope or solar viewing glasses, southern Albertans were treated to a 30 per cent partial solar eclipse Monday.
“This is really a once-in-a-lifetime event and we don't get too many eclipses in a lifetime so it's nice to come view it,” said Mark Vella, who was at the observatory.“I travelled to Lethbridge, especially to see the partial solar eclipse,” said Malik Merchart. “I read the Lethbridge news and it told me it was going to be four per cent more over here than in Calgary.”In Lethbridge, the eclipse began at 11:45 a.m. and reached its peak at 12:43 p.m.
“Solar eclipses on average happen two and a half times every year, but they tend to happen in the ocean most of all because most of the earth's surface is ocean.” Announced Monday by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at Canadian Forces Base Trenton in Ontario, the spending is expected to total just over $8 billion over the next five years and $73 billion in the next two decades for new equipment and infrastructure, including improvements to Canadian air and sea fleets, communications technologies and services for military personnel.A Spotify representative told CNN that searches for Bonnie Tyler's song have soared by nearly 50 per cent in the U.S.
