The next solar eclipse will pass directly over Montreal

The Great North American Solar Eclipse is taking place on August 21, 2017, but unfortunately, Montreal will only experience a partial eclipse. This means that only 58 per cent of the sun will be covered by the moon.

But if you miss this eclipse you don’t have to worry… for more than seven years at least. On April 8, 2024, which is when the next solar eclipse will occur, Montreal will be able to see the sun covered by the moon in its entirety.
