Solar Eclipse Safety

On April 8th Ontario will experience a total eclipse of the sun. In Greater Sudbury, the eclipse will start around 2 pm with the full eclipse at approximately 3:20 pm. Safety is the number one priority during a solar eclipse. Looking directly at the uncovered sun without protection can cause retinol burns, blurred vision, or loss of eyesight.
