This is an exciting, once-in-a-lifetime experience for most people with the next total eclipse not happening in the  Maritimes until  2079. 

During the eclipse on Monday afternoon that begins at 3:23 pm, the sun will be completely blocked out by the moon for 2-3 minutes. The partial eclipse visible for about 2 hours. 

Join the party on lower Carleton Street where Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (RASC) will host a public observing session with telescopes and exhibits along with safety information.
