As the rare total solar eclipse entered North America this afternoon, scores of excited onlookers at Niagara Falls were left screaming in glee as darkness suddenly fell
The long-awaited total solar eclipse cast over Niagara Falls on Monday, creating a few minutes of complete darkness as spectators were left screaming during the rare celestial event.
Once the eclipse passed through Niagara Falls, its next stop was Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton. The lunar event ended once the eclipse left continental North America through Newfoundland's Atlantic Coast at 5.16pm Newfoundland time. During the aforementioned years when there are more than two eclipses, individuals can sometimes be treated to a third celestial event that can be either solar or lunar. These seasons are fickle.Because they are fewer than six months apart, by about 19 days, eclipses tend to occur earlier each coming year. For example, last year's eclipses occurred in April/May and October. In 2024, we are getting them about a month earlier in March/April, with one more coming in September/October.
