A partial solar eclipse will cast over Ontario’s skies this weekend.
The moon covers the sun during a partial solar eclipse in Ottawa on Monday, August 21, 2017. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sean KilpatrickStarting right before noon on Saturday, the moon will begin to cover the Sun, causing it to look like a crescent shape from the province’s viewpoint.
While it will be a partial eclipse for Ontario, this eclipse will appear like a “ring of fire” – known as an annular eclipse – in parts of the United States. The moon is a bit further away during these eclipses, so it will never fully block the light from the Sun . “Make sure to get certified solar viewing glasses to stay safe,” Bibas said. These glasses contain a solar filter that reduces the harmful ultraviolet light.
