Dozens of skywatchers gathered at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum to view a partial solar eclipse, while millions of people in Spain experienced a total eclipse.
CTV's Katie Griffin reports that Royal Astronomical Society of Canada Ottawa Centre president Dave Chisholm says the moon covered about 26 per cent of the sun.
Six-year-old Nicholas and other children used telescopes and paper projections to safely watch the moon block the sun's light.
The next total solar eclipse in Canada will not happen until August 2044, though the Perseid meteor shower is expected to peak tonight.
