The Total Eclipse of April 8, 2024

Another total solar eclipse is coming to North America! This time, totality will also pass over Mexico and Canada – giving people all over North America another chance to experience this great celestial event.

In order to see totality, you have to be in the path of totality. If you aren’t in that path, you’ll only see a partial eclipse. You can learn more about those details with our simple eclipse viewing instructions guide.

This blog post will tell you about the 2024 eclipse as seen from the London area in Ontario. Please check out all the links we’ve provided below to learn more about the 2024 total solar eclipse from other locations.

The Total Eclipse of April 8, 2024 in London

London is tantalizingly close to the path of totality, but unfortunately the eclipse will not be total there.

Where can I see the total eclipse?

The path passes southeast of town, and you can see on the map where you should try to be on eclipse day. Niagara Falls is very well placed near the centerline. There, you’ll get about three and a half minutes of totality! Long Point would be a good place to view from, but it would be bad form to disturb the wildlife there. Point Rowan will get a very respectable 3m 20s, so you could consider observing from there.

Remember, you should be IN the path in order to see anything REALLY exciting. That means heading south to the lakefront, or at least as far as St. Thomas, where you’ll see over a minute of totality on the south side of town. Yes, those few hundred meters really will make a difference on eclipse day!

If you want to head east to Hamilton, you’ll see over two minutes, but you will want to be as far south as possible.

You can check out our 2024 eclipse blog post for the Hamilton area to get more info on viewing locations in that region.


What will I see on eclipse day?

People who stay in London will see a very deep partial eclipse, with sky darkening and possibly some interesting edge effects. There may even be a hint of corona, but it will not be safe to watch the eclipse directly without using your eclipse glasses, while just down the road folks are enjoying totality. It’s true that "close" just isn’t close enough when it comes to a total eclipse!

Order eclipse glasses! If the Sun is not COMPLETELY eclipsed you MUST always use ISO-certified eye protection ("eclipse glasses") to watch the eclipse. That means that, even if these things are going on around you, if you’re not in the path you won’t be able to see most of them. It will be best for you to get as far south as possible, to make sure you’re in the path and will be able to see totality.

Order eclipse glasses!

When will the eclipse happen?

Eclipse day is April 8, 2024
Eclipse day is April 8, 2024!

If you stay in London, the most interesting things will happen at mid-eclipse.

This will happen at about 3:17pm EDT.

The eclipse happens at different times in different locations. Use the slider on the map above to show you when totality will happen as the eclipse passes through the London area.

Use ISO-certified eye protection during the partial phases

ISO Certification

ISO Certification Always remember the rule for using eye protection during an eclipse: If there’s ANY bright part of the Sun showing, then you have to use your eclipse glasses to watch the event.

That means if you can see anything at all of the Sun through the glasses, then the Sun is too bright and you have to leave the glasses on! If you can see absolutely NO piece of the Sun through the eclipse glasses, then it’s safe to take them off. But the second any bright part of the Sun becomes visible again, you have to put them back on – and this can be mere seconds after you took them off. It would be so much better for you to get into the path, and really enjoy seeing totality!


We also have an entire section of the site dedicated to providing much more detailed eclipse viewing instructions for you!


Wherever you decide to view from, be sure to plan your route carefully, and watch the weather to make sure you’ll have good skies on eclipse day.
