Check out our photo gallery of viewer-submitted photos of the solar eclipse, as seen from southwestern Ontario! Julie Atchison london.ctvnews.ca/photo-gallerie…

Enjoyed the eclipse yesterday and not sure what to do with the eclipse glasses? Don’t throw them away! Store them safely in a book and use them for occasionally looking at the Sun to look for sunspots. Or for the next eclipse!

Southern Ontario: See you in 2144!

The celebration of this total solar eclipse would not have been possible without the support of many, including Mercury Blueprinting @CTVlondon The Blue Elephant, and @westernu

Thanks for getting #EclipseReadyWithWesternU !

Only if you could hear the sound on this!

It was swift and I am so glad I got to see it even with the clouds.

#EclipseSolar2024 in Dallas, Texas!

First totality ✔️
Already planning the next one 😝

'Adjust your glasses and raise a glass.'
