A celestial phenomenon will dim the sky on Monday, due to a total solar eclipse. Astronomy educator Gary Boyle joins Global News Morning Calgary to describe how they occur, the path of the total solar eclipse, and what we can expect here in Calgary. Evan Zucker has been on a cross-continent journey from San Diego, chasing clear skies ahead of Monday’s total solar eclipse.

The flagship event in the Eastern Townships will take place in and around the ASTROlab, where scientists and presenters will guide activities, and an outdoor stage will be set up to broadcast the eclipse’s progress on a giant screen.8 cruise ship passengers stranded in Africa after arriving late to boarding
