On Monday, April 8th one of the rarest events in our natural world will happen - and much of this province will have a front-row seat for the show. That's because at around 5 pm that day, there will be a total solar eclipse. It's something that we won't get a chance to see for another 50 years. Hilding Neilson is assistant professor in the department of physics and physical oceanography at Memorial University.
