When will America’s next total solar eclipse occur after April 8, 2024?
The commencement of the live broadcast for ‘The Eclipse Across America’ is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. sharp on Monday, April 8th. Along with network social media sites, it will air on ABC, ABC News Live, National Geographic Channel, Net Geo Wild, Disney+, and Hulu.
You may have to wait for decades if seeing totality during the April 8 total solar eclipse makes you itching for another astronomical show.
Solar eclipses, according to Fred Espenak, a former astronomer at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and author of “Road Atlas for the Total Solar Eclipse of 2024,” are like potato chips—once you have one, you want another. “Every eclipse is different and exciting,” he declared. It’s the most amazing natural phenomenon that the unaided eye can witness, in my opinion.” (Refer to ABC News)
The entirety of the contiguous United States was plunged into a spooky blackness on Monday due to a total solar eclipse, which also revealed a series of stars in the atmosphere and the sun’s corona as the moon crossed in front of the sun.
Thirty-one million Americans who lived within the totality route experienced the event right outside their door, while millions more others who were interested in seeing the eclipse traveled the 115-mile-wide path for a momentous day.
The founder of GreatAmericanEclipse.com and an expert in solar eclipse cartography, Michael Zeiler, predicted that “many people will undoubtedly get the bug and join the groups of eclipse chasers who use any suitable means of transportation to travel around the world to witness nature’s most dramatic spectacle.” (Refer to ABC News)
The next total solar eclipse in the contiguous United States will not happen until August 23, 2044, and it will only cover three states—Montana, North and South Dakota—according to NASA. This eclipse will take place after 2024.
The organization added that totality will also occur in Canada, more especially in British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan.
Next Coast-to-Coast Total Solar Eclipse: August 12, 2045, is the date of the next coast-to-coast total solar eclipse, as reported by NASA.
According to the agency’s analysis, parts of California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, and portions of Georgia would be covered by the long-distance path of totality.
Like the 2017 total solar eclipse, many Americans will have the chance to witness totality in their states during the eclipse in 2045. The eclipses in 2044 and 2045 are scheduled for August, and with the anticipation growing over decades, there’s a greater chance of clear, spotless sky on the day of the event.
The following International Total Solar Eclipse: You don’t have to wait twenty years if you’re eager to witness totality. In 2026, there will be another total solar eclipse in Europe.
The National Solar Observatory reports that a total solar eclipse will be seen in the Atlantic Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, Greenland, Iceland, Portugal, and northern Spain on August 12, 2026.
Zeiler asserts that witnessing a complete solar eclipse evokes profound emotions in every individual. Post-eclipse, one’s immediate curiosity typically revolves around the timing of the subsequent occurrence. And to watch the next one, you might want to think about visiting Spain in 2026.”
