There won’t be something that will replace August’s stunning, continent-spanning solar eclipse for quite some time. As Alex Young, a solar scientist with NASA pointed out Monday, this was very much a once-in-a-lifetime event. “The last time we had one go from coast to coast was 1918 — 99 years ago,” Young said from Charleston, South Carolina, during NASA’s live coverage of the celestial event. But that doesn’t mean we can’t prepare for the next one.
If you find yourself asking — after watching videos of the moon taking a bite out of the sun or seeing it unfold through your own glasses or pinhole projectors — “when is the next eclipse?” you’re in luck. We’ve compiled a list of the partial and total eclipses expected to be visible from any and all parts of North America through the year 2050. The list below is a curated one based on predictions published by Fred Espenak of NASA’s Goddard Space Center in 2008, and includes some information on whether or not they’ll be partial, total, hybrid (which depends on the viewer’s location) or annular (sporting a bright ring around the moon).
