Partial solar eclipse could be visible in parts of Ontario and Canada [Video]

A partial solar eclipse could be visible in parts of Ontario and eastern Canada this weekend.

Around sunrise on Saturday, March 29, the sun, moon and Earth will nearly align, casting a shadow on the planet, according to Space.com.

Unlike the total solar eclipse experienced in parts of southern Ontario last year on April 8, the sun will remain visible with the moon casting a crescent-like shadow.

But it is still important to protect your eyes. During any solar eclipse, people must wear special glasses with filters designed for eclipse watching (ISO 12312-2 international standard) to prevent eye damage, the Canadian Space Agency warns. 

The best view of this eclipse could be in eastern Canada including Newfoundland, Labrador and Baffin Island where it will begin either at sunrise or just afterward, according to the Weather Network.

But parts of Ontario could see a smaller shadow over the sun.
