TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE 2024
TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE 2024
If you are in Western New Brunswick on April 8, 2024, you will have a front row seat for a total solar eclipse, as the area's location is central to the path of totality. Experts calculate that the period of totality for this total solar eclipse at this location will be 3 minutes 18.9 seconds.
An onboard camera aboard a balloon-borne solar telescope—launched from a location in Florenceville-Bristol, New Brunswick—will provide live, magnified, telescopic images of the total eclipse of the Sun from the stratosphere to ground-based audiences in Western New Brunswick and to a world-wide audience via the internet.
The Balloon Solar Eclipse Project, with Bell Canada’s assistance as Partner to the project, will relay live images of the total solar eclipse back to earth. Teams at each location will provide on-site assistance as well as the audio-visual projection of the relayed images.
