Thousands in Kelowna turn out to see the moon take a bite out of the sun

It’s a rare spectacle in the sky when the moon passes in front of the sun. And the scope of Monday’s partial solar eclipse hasn’t been seen in the Okanagan for more than a century. The moon temporarily blocked out almost 85 per cent of the sun, creating noticeable daylight darkening and temperature cooling. A public viewing event in Kelowna attracted thousands of people.
