Solar Eclipse Resources and Partner Links

"We created a Solar Eclipse Simulator to demonstrate the unique geometry that makes total solar eclipses possible. It shows how the alignment of the Sun, Moon and Earth affects what observers see on Earth.

While you play with the Simulator, keep an eye on the View from Earth in the bottom-right corner. Here, you will see how the Moon’s distance and position affect how the eclipse appears on Earth during a total solar eclipse (for observers within the path of totality) or a partial solar eclipse (for observers within the affected surface area)." - Ontario Science Centre

"Some animals behave differently than usual during total solar eclipses. Why do you think this is?"

"Did you know that sunset colours appear across the entire horizon during a solar eclipse? Find out why!"

"Discover the fascinating visual phenomenon caused by the Moon’s small but mighty mountains."
