  Wow, I could never get a shot like that of the moon.

  This one coming up is only visible in far Eastern Canada…

  And while there will be a total solar eclipse in 2017, you’ll have to go south into the US to see it. It will be only partial here.

  It looks like that another total solar eclipse won’t actually pass over Windsor until 2444. There will be an annular visible here though in 2093 and a total solar eclipse will pass incredibly close to Windsor in 2024 (visible in Leamington and Point Pelee) and again in 2099 (visible in Ann Arbor, Toledo)
