A partial eclipse, also known as an annular solar eclipse, occurs when the Moon, Earth, and Sun are on the same axis, but the natural satellite does not completely cover the Sun.
This phenomenon will serve as a prelude to the total eclipse that will affect southern Quebec on April 8, 2024, which is a very important astronomical event, the planetarium said. “Only less than 1% of the Earth’s population can experience a total eclipse where they live.”
The Astronomical Society of Montreal Planetarium states that we will have to wait about 181 years before seeing something like this again in the province, “because the next total eclipse that will be visible in Quebec will be on July 17, 2205.”
However, the next annular eclipse visible in Quebec will occur on July 23, 2093. The total eclipse will be 95% visible in Quebec on May 3, 2106.
