If you missed today's solar eclipse, fear not, there will be
plenty more to come. And some that will be a lot more fun to watch. Consider
this your future solar eclipse planning guide.
Using historical data from NASA and Wikipedia , Tyler Convey
at MicroStrategy was able to piece together a helpful solar eclipse chart. The
green dot is today's "great" solar eclipse, and the red dots are all
the future solar eclipses that will be visible in the United States. The size
of the dot is the solar eclipse's duration, while each dot's placement on the
chart represents the width of the solar eclipse's path (or area where it will
be visible).
Here's a quick breakdown of what we'll be able to see
stateside:
April 8, 2024
April 12, 2045
March 30, 2052
May 11, 2078
May 1, 2079
September 14, 2099
But, if you're willing to do a little traveling, there are a
lot more solar eclipses coming up. Here's the next few you can see elsewhere in
the world:
July 2, 2019
December 14, 2020
December 4, 2021
August 12, 2026
August 2, 2027
So, as you can see, you really only have to wait two more
years if you plan accordingly.
