Big week coming. Two things on Wednesday the 12th.

The Perseids peak that night, on a New Moon β€” the best conditions in years.

And that afternoon there is a partial solar eclipse. Toronto only gets about 8% of the Sun covered, between roughly 12:55 and 2:34; Ottawa does better at 16%. The total eclipse itself is over Greenland, Iceland and Spain.

Eight percent is not much, but the rule doesn't change: you need certified solar glasses or a proper front-mounted solar filter. Sunglasses, welding glass, exposed film and stacked neutral density filters are not safe. A telescope without a proper filter will cause permanent damage in under a second.

If you have glasses from April 2024, check them for pinholes and scratches before you use them again.
