Airdrie shares the excitement of the partial solar eclipse

Some locals took out their cameras and snapped some great shots of today's partial solar ecplise.

Albertans experienced a partial solar eclipse when the moon passed in front of the sun for a few hours on April 8.

While parts of Eastern Canada were plunged into darkness for a few minutes, Airdrie only and much of Alberta only experienced the moon covering about 37 per cent of the sun.

In southern Alberta, including Airdrie, Rocky View County and Cochrane, the partial eclipse started at 11:47 a.m., reached its maximum at 12:42 p.m. and finished at 1:39 p.m.
