MONTREAL — People who descended on southern Quebec from afar for a view of Monday's total solar eclipse were rewarded with perfect viewing conditions for what many described as an emotional experience.
“I cried. I was shaking, it’s exceptional," said Mira Cadotte Lachance, a teacher, as she pointed to Venus and Jupiter, which shone in the sky."I consider myself privileged to experience this moment." "Because I have already witnessed eclipses and it was so moving — such a powerful feeling — that, well, I have to go back," Reeves said."It's like an addiction."
“It was truly magnificent, an awe-inspiring experience,” said Gabrielle Gauthier. “I loved it,” chimed in her daughter, Alyssa, 7.“It’s a learning opportunity for children," she said."It’s important for them to see things like this, because it goes a bit beyond what they can learn in books, or in school, to experience an event like this. I think it will stay with us."
Michelle Crotteau, of Broadway, Va., was marking an eclipse-themed 60th birthday at the park. Crotteau said she witnessed a total eclipse in 2017 in Tennessee and wanted to be in Montreal to experience it once again. "I’m used to looking at things through a computer screen and seeing images, but not with my own eyes. That’s always a different experience," said Seals as he waited for the eclipse in Old Montreal.
