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 Saint John area in New Brunswick. 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 Saint John

Saint John was unfortunately not in the path of totality for the 2017 eclipse. This time in 2024, the path passes very close to the city, but once again totality is not to be for folks in Saint John.

Where can I see the total eclipse?

The path passes north of town, and you can see on the map where you should try to be on eclipse day. You’ll need to be at least as for north as Oromocto, to see even one minute of totality just after 4:34pm ADT. The centerline lies north of that – up around Blackville or Hartland. You can also get to the centerline near Miramichi Lake using Road 107, if you want to get the most totality possible in the area.

Fredericton will see over two minutes of totality, so if that’s as far as you can go, at least you will see the main event (weather permitting)!

Moncton lies just outside the path, but there are plenty of roads from there to the north to get you into the path.

Check out our 2024 eclipse blog posts for the Moncton and Fredericton areas, to get more details on what you’ll see from those locations.


What will I see on eclipse day?

People who stay in Saint John will see a very deep partial eclipse, with some amount of sky darkening and perhaps some interesting edge effects. But there will be no corona, no totality, and no dramatic moments on eclipse day. You’ll need to use your eclipse glasses for the entire event, where 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 north and west 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!

Whatever the eclipse brings to Saint John, it will be most interesting as the shadow passes by – to the north and west of town, remember.

This will happen just after 4:35pm ADT.

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 Saint John 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.
