Viewers from around Vancouver Island took some great photos of the partial solar eclipse.

The eclipse’s peak was visible at 10:20 a.m. and the moon blocked about 90 per cent of the sun on Vancouver Island. Vancouver Island residents used special protective glasses, cameras, telescopes, pin hole boxes and optical equipment to watch the celestial event.

Canadians did not see a total solar eclipse with the moon blocking the sun completely. The total solar eclipse was seen along the “path of totality” from Oregon and South Carolina in the United States.

Here are some of the photos from CHEK News viewers. Send us yours at [email protected].
