On Thursday afternoon, the moon will pass in front of the sun, casting its shadow over much of western and northern Canada. In some locations, the sun will be more than 70-per-cent obscured and will temporarily appear as a crescent. During a partial eclipse, it is not safe to view the sun directly.
