Episode Details

Canada’s sky is getting a double cosmic treat this week — a partial solar eclipse by day, followed hours later by the dazzling Perseid meteor shower. The eclipse, most visible in Newfoundland and Labrador, demands certified eye protection — no peeking without proper glasses, even if it’s just a sliver of sun. For those without glasses, a DIY cardboard projector works wonders. Then, as night falls, the annual Perseid meteor shower peaks with fireworks across the sky — think shooting stars like snowflakes on your windshield, but way more epic. To catch the best show, head to a dark spot, give your eyes 30 minutes to adjust, and ditch your phone screen. The prime viewing window? Between 10 PM and 2 AM. No gear needed for meteors, but a camera with a long lens, a cozy blanket, and hot cocoa? That’s the real secret to stargazing bliss.
