Peterborough, Ont., was thrown into brief darkness as the total solar eclipse passed over the city on Monday afternoon.
The following is a time-lapse video from the Global Peterborough tower cam, recorded from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m.
The moon’s shadow, which moved across North America, first arrived in Ontario just before 2 p.m.
Peterborough was just outside the path of totality (the moon’s maximum coverage of the sun). The partial eclipse in Peterborough began at 2:07 p.m. and the maximum eclipse occurred at 3:21. The partial eclipse ended at 4:43 p.m.

South of the city, the towns of Cobourg and Port Hope were closer to the totality path, however, cloudy conditions prevented optimal viewing of the celestial event.
