This image shows all total solar eclipses of the 21st century over North America. Image via\nGreatAmericanEclipse.com\n.\nThe next total solar eclipse visible in North America\nThe map above shows all the total solar eclipses taking place in North America during the 21st century. You can see that the next total eclipse for North America will occur on\nApril 8, 2024\n.\nThis might make it seem as if total solar eclipses are somewhat rare, when, in fact, they’re not. They happen about every 18 months as seen from\nsomewhere\nin the world. However, for any given spot on Earth’s surface, total solar eclipses don’t happen very often, if even during a person’s lifetime. The fact is, you might have to travel to see an eclipse.\nThe next total solar eclipse will cover three countries, including 11 U.S. states and five Canadian provinces (if you count the northwestern tip of Nova Scotia). It will start in Mexico, travel across Texas, and then continue north-northeast, taking turns between the U.S. and Canada in the northeast before it exits the continent over Newfoundland. If the weather is benign, this promises to be an\neven better\neclipse – in terms of length of\ntotality\n(the time the sun is covered) – than the total eclipse of 2017, because the path of totality will be wider.\nView larger\n. | Solar eclipses taking place across the world from 2010 to 2060.

Image via\nEclipse-Maps.com\n\/ Michael Zeiler\/ Xavier Jubier.\nThe different types of solar eclipses\nIn addition to total eclipses, there are other sorts of solar eclipses. There are partial solar eclipses, where only a part of the sun is covered, and\nannular\nsolar eclipses, where the moon is a bit farther away from us in its orbit and consequently appears too small to cover the sun completely. In an annular eclipse, the sun appears in a ring or\nannulus\naround the moon; that’s why this sort of eclipse is also known as a\nring eclipse\n.\nThere are also\nhybrid\neclipses, which look like a total\nor\nan annular eclipse, depending on the location of the observer. Then, of course, there are eclipses of the moon. One or another of these different eclipses is likely to occur in a location near you, within not too long of a time span!\nThe appearance of a total, partial and annular solar eclipse. Image via K. Bikos\/\nTimeanddate.com\n.\nSeeing one total solar eclipse isn’t enough\nOnce you see one total solar eclipse, it’s likely you’ll want to catch another. The next total solar eclipse is April 20, 2023, and it’s a hybrid eclipse. Totality is only visible in a very narrow path over Indonesia, Australia and Papua New Guinea.

This image shows all total solar eclipses of the 21st century over North America. Image via [GreatAmericanEclipse.com](https:\/\/www.greatamericaneclipse.com\/future\/).\n### The next total solar eclipse visible in North America\nThe map above shows all the total solar eclipses taking place in North America during the 21st century. You can see that the next total eclipse for North America will occur on [April 8, 2024](https:\/\/earthsky.org\/astronomy-essentials\/total-solar-eclipse-april8-24\/).\n\nThis might make it seem as if total solar eclipses are somewhat rare, when, in fact, they’re not. They happen about every 18 months as seen from *somewhere* in the world. However, for any given spot on Earth’s surface, total solar eclipses don’t happen very often, if even during a person’s lifetime. The fact is, you might have to travel to see an eclipse.\n\nThe next total solar eclipse will cover three countries, including 11 U.S. states and five Canadian provinces (if you count the northwestern tip of Nova Scotia). It will start in Mexico, travel across Texas, and then continue north-northeast, taking turns between the U.S. and Canada in the northeast before it exits the continent over Newfoundland. If the weather is benign, this promises to be an *even better* eclipse – in terms of length of [totality](https:\/\/eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov\/SEhelp\/SEglossary.html) (the time the sun is covered) – than the total eclipse of 2017, because the path of totality will be wider.\n\n![3 Earths, different hemispheres, with curved, dated lines crossing them.](https:\/\/earthsky.org\/upl\/2018\/07\/FiftyYearsOfSolarEclipses_2010_2060.png)\n\n[View larger](https:\/\/earthsky.org\/upl\/2022\/04\/FiftyYearsOfEclipses-Michael-Zeiler.png). \\| Solar eclipses taking place across the world from 2010 to 2060.

This image shows all total solar eclipses of the 21st century over North America. Image via [GreatAmericanEclipse.com](https://www.greatamericaneclipse.com/future/). ### The next total solar eclipse visible in North America The map above shows all the total solar eclipses taking place in North America during the 21st century. You can see that the next total eclipse for North America will occur on [April 8, 2024](https://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/total-solar-eclipse-april8-24/). This might make it seem as if total solar eclipses are somewhat rare, when, in fact, they’re not. They happen about every 18 months as seen from somewhere in the world. However, for any given spot on Earth’s surface, total solar eclipses don’t happen very often, if even during a person’s lifetime. The fact is, you might have to travel to see an eclipse. The next total solar eclipse will cover three countries, including 11 U.S. states and five Canadian provinces (if you count the northwestern tip of Nova Scotia). It will start in Mexico, travel across Texas, and then continue north-northeast, taking turns between the U.S. and Canada in the northeast before it exits the continent over Newfoundland. If the weather is benign, this promises to be an even better eclipse – in terms of length of [totality](https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEhelp/SEglossary.html) (the time the sun is covered) – than the total eclipse of 2017, because the path of totality will be wider. ![3 Earths, different hemispheres, with curved, dated lines crossing them.](https://earthsky.org/upl/2018/07/FiftyYearsOfSolarEclipses_2010_2060.png) [View larger](https://earthsky.org/upl/2022/04/FiftyYearsOfEclipses-Michael-Zeiler.png). \\| Solar eclipses taking place across the world from 2010 to 2060.

Image via [Eclipse-Maps.com](http://eclipse-maps.com/)/ Michael Zeiler/ Xavier Jubier. ### The different types of solar eclipses In addition to total eclipses, there are other sorts of solar eclipses. There are partial solar eclipses, where only a part of the sun is covered, and [annular](https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/annular-solar-eclipse.html) solar eclipses, where the moon is a bit farther away from us in its orbit and consequently appears too small to cover the sun completely. In an annular eclipse, the sun appears in a ring or annulus around the moon; that’s why this sort of eclipse is also known as a ring eclipse. There are also [hybrid](https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/hybrid-solar-eclipse.html) eclipses, which look like a total or an annular eclipse, depending on the location of the observer. Then, of course, there are eclipses of the moon. One or another of these different eclipses is likely to occur in a location near you, within not too long of a time span\! ![Black circle with fuzzy white rim, bright crescent, thin brilliant ring in fuzzy orange circle.](https://earthsky.org/upl/2018/07/total_partial_annular_solareclipse.jpg) The appearance of a total, partial and annular solar eclipse.

Bikos/ [Timeanddate.com](https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/hybrid-solar-eclipse.html). ### Seeing one total solar eclipse isn’t enough Once you see one total solar eclipse, it’s likely you’ll want to catch another. The next total solar eclipse is April 20, 2023, and it’s a hybrid eclipse. Totality is only visible in a very narrow path over Indonesia, Australia and Papua New Guinea. Below is a map from Michael Zeiler’s [Eclipse-Maps.com](http://eclipse-maps.com/), which can act as a travel planner for the keen eclipse chaser.

One or another of these different eclipses is likely to occur in a location near you, within not too long of a time span\! ![Black circle with fuzzy white rim, bright crescent, thin brilliant ring in fuzzy orange circle.](https://earthsky.org/upl/2018/07/total_partial_annular_solareclipse.jpg) The appearance of a total, partial and annular solar eclipse.

Bikos/ [Timeanddate.com](https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/hybrid-solar-eclipse.html). ### Seeing one total solar eclipse isn’t enough Once you see one total solar eclipse, it’s likely you’ll want to catch another. The next total solar eclipse is April 20, 2023, and it’s a hybrid eclipse. Totality is only visible in a very narrow path over Indonesia, Australia and Papua New Guinea. Below is a map from Michael Zeiler’s [Eclipse-Maps.com](http://eclipse-maps.com/), which can act as a travel planner for the keen eclipse chaser.
