When is the next eclipse? Wednesday’s annular solar eclipse — seen by relatively few in southern South America and Easter Island as a “ring of fire” — was the second and final solar eclipse of 2024 after April 8’s total solar eclipse across North America.

What few seem to realize is that the next one is once again coming to North America. On Saturday, March 29 — just 178 days from today — a partial solar eclipse will be visible from parts of the U.S. and Canada, as well as from northern South America, Europe, northern Asia, and northern Africa.

The Next Eclipse

March’s eclipse is not going to be a total solar eclipse, so the excitement level dips. There’s not another total solar eclipse in North America until 2044 when northern and central Canada, Montana and the Dakotas glimpse a totally eclipsed sun just before sunset. A year later, a total coast-to-coast solar eclipse will occur in the U.S.

What will happen in 178 days won’t be as spectacular, but it will provide a rare chance to glimpse a partially eclipsed sunrise.

U.S. And Canada Get The Best View

The northeastern parts of the U.S. and southeastern parts of Canada—including Atlantic Canada—will get the best view. You can see exactly what your home will see by checking this searchable map, but here are a few examples, ranging from a very slight view from New York to a big eclipse from remote regions of Canada:

End of eclipse: 7:04 a.m. EDT

Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.

Sunrise: 6:31 a.m. EDT
42% partial solar eclipse: 6:38 a.m. EDT
End of eclipse: 7:07 a.m. EDT

Bangor, Maine, U.S.

Go North And West

As you can see, the northwest you are, the longer and deeper the eclipse, but arguably, the most dramatic sight will be for those in places like Boston, where the sun will rise as a crescent, about half-eclipsed. It’s a strange sight indeed. A clear view of the eastern horizon will be required.

The deepest views will be from remote northern Quebec and southeastern Nunavut. The latter’s provincial capital, Iqaluit, will see a partially eclipsed sunrise that grows to 92% obscuration.

Totality In 2026

The next total solar eclipse will occur on August 12, 2026. Visible in Greenland, Iceland and northern Spain, its maximum duration will be two minutes and 18 seconds.

Optimal viewing locations include cruise ships in the fjords of Greenland, the west coast of Iceland, the plains of Spain north of Madrid, and the west coast of Majorca, where observers will see a dramatic totality just prior to sunset.

Wishing you clear skies and wide eyes.
