Here's when you can see the solar eclipse in Ottawa and eastern Ontario on April 8
CTV
CTVNewsOttawa.ca looks at when you can see the solar eclipse across eastern Ontario on April 8.
On April 8, the total solar eclipse will unfold over Canada, the United States and Mexico, as the moon aligns perfectly between the Earth and the sun.
During the total solar eclipse, the moon passes between the sun and Earth, entirely covering the face of the sun along a small path of the Earth's surface.
Areas along the seaway will experience the total solar eclipse, while Ottawa and other cities closer to the Ottawa River will see a partial solar eclipse.
The partial eclipse begins the moment the edge of the moon touches the edge of the sun. Totality begins when the edge of the moon covers all of the sun and totality ends when the edge of the moon exposes the sun. The partial eclipse ends the moment the edge of the moon leaves the edge of the sun.
Here is a look at the solar eclipse timeline as it moves across eastern Ontario on Monday.
CTV News Ottawa will have special live coverage of Monday's solar eclipse.
Watch CTVNewsOttawa.ca from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on April 8. You can also tune in to Newstalk 580 CFRA for continuing coverage.
