On Thursday, New Brunswickers will have an opportunity to witness an eclipse for the first time in three years.
The partial solar eclipse will be visible for most regions in the province, including the southeast.
From around 5:38 until 7:38 the unique nature of astronomy will be on display. The moon will cover as much as 75% of the sun,when the eclipse reaches its peak almost an hour after it begins.
Curtis Nason is an amateur astronomer with the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, New Brunswick Centre.
He says that forecasts appear to be cooperative for New Brunswickers looking to observe the eclipse.
