When is the Next Total Solar Eclipse?

When and where is the next total solar eclipse? Total solar eclipses don’t happen at the same time or the same place regularly, due to the 5-degree offset between the Moon’s orbit around the Earth and the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. But if you’re curious if a future total eclipse will be viewable from your backyard, you can see all the total solar eclipses forecasted for the next 20 years in this video. It’s all beautifully rendered with real data from OpenSpace data visualization software.

I find it amusing we can predict eclipses decades in advance, with minute by minute accuracy, while the flat earth society can't even agree on what an eclipse is or if they even exist.

[@LightningEthan]

Its crazy how many solar eclipses australia is getting within such a short time frame, 2028, 2030, 2037 and 2038 lol

[@mpdias2003]

World: 😎😎😎

[@zuzu2416]

Some of our family gathered in a farm field in Indiana. 4 full minutes of Totality. Im still reeling! Life- changing- life affirming. It was a remarkable experience. Im 68. For me - this was truly a once in a lifetime experience.

[@sk360flip]

This really helps show how special they are. Years in between for a little sliver. It’s like being selected for lottery.

[@woody4077]

wow australia is getting the best "luck" here they get 4 or 5 eclipses

[@Am3rIca16]

I traveled from NYC to Ohio and i was speechless when i saw the total eclipse. Never thought I'd actually see one in my lifetime. I'm only 29. Seeing it with my parents is priceless.

Penguins in 2039: WTF 👀🐧

If you noticed that some areas seem to have more eclipses coming up than others (ahem, Australia), you might be interested in this breakdown of eclipse frequency by Time and Date:

[@itzamia]

Dang Australia, let some of the rest of us have a little Eclipse

[@eugeneosborn9551]

I just witnessed totality today, awe inspiring to say the least.

[@chenilleoneil1289]

Seeing a solar eclipse has been the ONLY thing on my bucket list for years and now I find out my house will be in the path of totality TWICE in the next 6 years. As someone who thinks about ending it all ALOT, maybe I could hang around to see at least the first one in 2028.

[@lucyditee]

Was able to witness totality in Texas yesterday despite the cloudy weather. It really is an experience everyone gotta have at least one in their lives. It was jaw dropping and awe inspiring. So glad I was able to see it this year!

[@robsquared2]

I'm so glad I drove to see the April 8 2024 eclipse.

[@thecochrandoctrine7427]

To see an eclipse over the pyramids or Outback would be incredible.

[@UV-NIR-Thermal]

I hope all that go out to see the 2024 one see it. I saw the 2017 one, drove 4 hours for totality. I can't wait to see all the pics and videos of it.

[@strugs]

Very very cool! Thank you for sharing this.

[@haithamelatrache1231]

I'm ready for next Monday, hope the weather not cloudy over here in Montreal, so far looks okay fingers crossed
