We first met 11-year-old Ashton Mantha last week in advance of Monday's celestial event. His excitement was so contagious, CBC gave him the honorary title of Windsor Morning's solar system enthusiast. The grade schooler travelled to Kingsville, Ont., to catch the eclipse reach totality. He attends St. Angela Catholic Elementary School in Windsor.
Ashton Mantha, 11, has convinced his parents to drive him to Leamington, Ont., to view the solar event, where a few minutes of totality can be observed.
