Canada will see a partial solar eclipse when the highly anticipated total eclipse of August 21, 2017 traverses the narrow path on land from Oregon to South Carolina.

RASC Edmonton is organising free activities at the RASC Observatory at TELUS World of Science. Visit RASC Observatory for a safe and fun viewing experience! In Edmonton, at mid-eclipse the Sun will be about 70% covered by the Moon.

Free eclipse glasses available on a first-come, first-served basis, one per family – courtesy RASC.

Please note that you must use a solar filter made specifically for the purpose of viewing a solar eclipse. It is not safe to view the Sun without appropriate filters.
