<\/p>\n David Saint-Jacques<\/strong>: Hello! I\u2019m David Saint-Jacques, Canadian Space Agency astronaut.<\/p>\n On April 8, 2024, eastern Canada will witness a total eclipse of the Sun.\u00a0<\/p>\n Total solar eclipses are once-in-a-lifetime events.<\/p>\n Solar eclipses happen when the Moon comes between Earth and the Sun, casting its shadow on our planet.\u00a0<\/p>\n For people who are in the path of the Moon\u2019s shadow, for a few minutes the sky turns as dark as night.<\/p>\n Eclipses have helped scientists learn more about the Sun, Earth, and our space environment.<\/p>\n People have been fascinated by eclipses since the dawn of time, and today, they make us want to know more about space and keep exploring further.<\/p>\n Humanity is heading back to the Moon with the Artemis program, and Canada is part of this great endeavour.<\/p>\n My Canadian friends and colleagues Jeremy Hansen and Jenni Gibbons are members of that team of Moon explorers.<\/p>\n So I invite you to immerse yourself in space, science, and technology by following the Canadian Space Agency on social media.<\/p>\n You can also visit our website to learn more about the eclipse. We have many interesting activities for young people.<\/p>\n And finally, don\u2019t forget to protect your eyes when watching the eclipse.<\/p>\n So I hope you enjoy this rare spectacle of nature. Have fun!<\/p>\n
