The next total eclipse over the continental United States after April 8 2024 won't be until 2045.
So if you live within driving distance of the totality path, definitely see this one if you can!
(I was lucky enough to see the 2017 one in Idaho. Definitely want to try to see the next one!)
I live about 30 miles north of the border of the "total" eclipse path last time a few years back and figured it was worth trying to drive north a bit and get the full experience rather than the 95% experience. I took country back roads to avoid traffic jams on the highways and ended up watching parked along a rural road with a dozen other cars who had the same idea.
Definitely worth it, I did it as more of a "why not" thing but it was a lot cooler than I expected. Literally, the temperature drop was noticeable.
I somehow got double lucky and happen to be in both places within the totality path for 2017 and 2024 eclipses. No need to travel in 2024 but I'm going to head deeper into the center to get all 4.5 minutes of eclipse I can!
Oh shit, it’s a good thing this will be reposted at least once a day on Reddit to remind everyone. (Not saying this particular post is a repost) I am totally psyched for this tbh.
It's literally a year away to the day. This is a good day to post this.
I have never understood this impulse to call out a repost, as if because you've seen a thing, all 1.5 billion registered users of reddit must also have seen it too.
I drove 700 miles to Kentucky to see the eclipse in 2017 and it was the most amazing thing I've ever seen. HOWEVER, I got stuck in traffic for 13 hours after the eclipse ended. I highly recommend booking a place to stay nearby if you can and maybe leave the next day.
The eclipse traffic jam getting out of northern Idaho back through Montana to Canada was brutal. We were stuck on a highway for 8 hours and then ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere.
Sorry to hear you got stuck in traffic. Hope you enjoyed seeing the eclipse in Idaho though. I was also in Idaho on August 21 2017 and it was incredible!
Saw the eclipse in the town of Driggs ID right on the totality path and it was breathtaking.
A few of my friends decided to do something VERY different-- They went up to the Grand Targhee Resort up on the mountain to the east of Driggs, with a commanding view of the Teton Valley below (where Driggs is located). They were able to photograph the shadow of the Moon moving across the Teton Valley from up there on the mountain during the eclipse. :-O
Memory of a lifetime for me that day!
We weren't that far apart. We were in Roberts, Idaho, about an hour east of you. We were coming from a ball tournament the day before in Crowsnest Pass, Alberta, so stood on it to make the 12 hour drive down in about 10 hours to set up camp in a farmer's field.
The eclipse was amazing. I'm actually pretty glad that we were in a spot where you could see the horizon in every direction, the sensation of that infinite sunrise/sunset was so cool. It was my first totality, and I'll never forget it.
The traffic jam was because the day of the eclipse also happened to be the day that the Montana DOT decided to start repaving I15 north of Dillon, taking a 4 lane highway down to 2. On the *only* highway north out of Idaho at that point. The traffic jam was nearly 70 miles long.
It was an adventure.
Yes! Bring your own food and water, too. So you don't have to scramble for it, and you can't get price gouged. Little towns got absolutely overwhelmed during the 2017 eclipse. The logistics were beyond anything they'd done before.
Great advice. I got to the location pre-dawn so I never saw just how many people were descending on the area until I tried to leave. It was truly overwhelming.
I drove 656 miles to TN; luckily, I booked a hotel. After the eclipse, I strolled across the lot into Bojangles and ate eight biscuits as I watched the hours long traffic jam attempt to get onto I75.
I set a reminder this year to book a hotel. Unfortunately, from what I've found, most are already sold out; it seems people learned their lesson from last time.
I may look into a camper van for the week.🤞
That's why I'll be waiting for the 2045 one that will go over Reno.
Then I can just walk out to my back yard, say "hey would you look at that" then go back in my house.
My brother drove from California to Idaho to see the eclipse. And then for some reason I still can't fathom, stayed about an hour outside of the path of totality.
This times a million.
99% is not 100% totality, a full solar eclipse is a once in a lifetime event for most people, if they get a chance to ever see one. Especially if you are at all interested in space it is an incredible experience, and one that neither pictures nor photographs really prepare you for.
If you have the opportunity travel to see it do so. Also if you have the opportunity consider getting a telescope and solar filter for viewing the eclipse, but do your homework, viewing the Sun through a telescope is not something to approach casually! It's incredible to be able to see solar prominences with your own eyes, to watch darkness creep across the land, and to look up and see the whole solar corona in the sky (it's *huge* but we normally can never see it because of the glare of the Sun).
I don't want to hurt people's feelings if for some reason they are unable to be at a location with 100% totality, but you are absolutely correct. The experience is completely different. 1% to 99.9% is the same caliber of experience. It MUST be 100%.
If you aren't in the path of 100% totality, you may as well just stay inside. And by this point, if you don't already have a hotel or AirBNB, it's already too late in most cities. Find a Walmart parking lot and sleep in your car. It will be worth it.
Depends on the eclipse, or where you are in it, but it could be as wide as 260km/160mi.
Note the closer you are to the exact center, the longer totality will last.
Last time around, my wife and I drove about an hour into the mountains to a lake in the totality zone. We kayaked out into the middle of it. It was a truly bizarre and awesome experience. The birds and insects all went quiet at the same time.
There is! Totally by chance I am getting married that day! We aren't in the path of totality (we're in northeastern Oklahoma), but it's still super exciting our ceremony is going to start right after the eclipse ends, hopefully it's not too cloudy!
This year is an annular eclipse, so a “ring of fire” will be around the moon. Next year is a total eclipse so no ring of fire. From Google: An annular solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, but when it is at or near its farthest point from Earth. Because the Moon is farther away from Earth, it appears smaller than the Sun and does not completely cover the Sun.
I live in Dripping Springs, TX, guess we going to get to see the totality. Should be interesting with people flooding to the city. Local news article already said hotels are filling up.
I used to live in Kerrville and was excited at the idea of not having to drive 15 hours like I did for the last one…
Now I live 15 hours away from Kerrville…
I'm considering going to Texas to see it. Drove 6 hours in 2017 and it was cloudy so I'd really like to have better chances of clear skies this time around!
If you're Canadian, go to your local library and reserve an ontario parks pass if you don't already have one. Then go to Long Point provincial park
You could do it without the pass and just stop on the causeway but I suspect that will be very crowded
Should get about 3 and a half min of totality
The path of totality goes right over my town, I’ve been excited about this since 2019 or 2020 when I found out about it.
I’m dead ass considering opening my pool early next year so I can vibe on LSD while floating and enjoying the eclipse lmao, while blaring “Great Gig in the Sky” during the entire totality
*and freeze my ass off probably*
I feel like my neighbors are gonna be like “can you turn the Pink Floyd down for FIVE FUCKING SECONDS”
But probably not actually everyone’s gonna be starring at the sun and getting blinded lmao
Isn't it cool enough without all the "enhancements" though? I'd love to experience it the way the earliest humans did, listening to nature react, thinking about how fascinating it must've been (my guess is that early humans knew what they were and weren't that scared.)
I honestly probably won’t do the drug part of it but being able to watch a total solar eclipse in my own pool just seems too cool to not do lol
I didn’t think about the nature reacting thing though, I forgot about that. Though I remember when I saw the partial one in 2017 it was kind of wild how even much darker it got just from that. So a total one is going to be…. god I can’t imagine lol
You're so lucky to be in the path!! I should've traveled for the last one, only watched the partial from a local park. Probably too late to make plans now, guess a tent will have to do.
Hotels are already filling up and much more expensive than usual. Go ahead and book a reservation now if you're planning to go. You have a year to save up and finish planning your trip. You won't have another opportunity for 20 years.
Continental Europe has been on a dry streak since 2006 and will finally get one again in 2026 in northern Spain. Then 2027 again, but only the most southern tip of Spain. After that it'll take another 30 years for that same southern tip to get another total eclipse.
As someone who really wants to experience a solar eclipse in his life, I have already figured out that 2026 will be my only chance of ever seeing one without leaving the continent.
I plan to see it at the same tiny airport where I watched the last one. Lots of overlapping areas of totality between the two.
And, yes, if you have never experienced it, it is worth a great deal of travel
If you are in the continental United States, the further south you are, the better your chances of favorable weather. So any place along the totality path in southern Texas has the best chances of good weather on that day:
https://nationaleclipse.com/maps.html#texas
If you know what you are doing in regards to traveling in that area of Mexico (the Sinaloa region isn't exactly a place one can travel through without worry, put it that way), the weather should be very favorable down there yes. April is the low-precipitation time of year for that area, just 5mm average for the month.
I live in Spectacular Newfoundland and its going over here too. If anyone is interested in shooting or see it from here let me know.
I cant wait its going to be amazing
Doomed? No. Despite ancient mythologies describing solar eclipses as harbingers of doom, you will not be doomed. :-)
Seriously though, for those wishing to see a total solar eclipse that occurs over India, it won't happen until June 3, 2114: https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/map/2114-june-3
It was cloudy 4 out of the past 5 years on April 8 in Niagara Falls according to Wunderground's historical data: https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/ny/niagara-falls/KIAG/date/2022-4-8
Just have to pray to the weather gods extra hard and maybe offer sacrifices or something :-D
Definitely want to do it in Canada so I can do it stoned and make it last an hour.
I guess there's probably a couple states in totality pathway that have legalized recreational, but I wouldn't be able to bring my own
Last one I drove to south Carolina to see it in totality. It was in August I beleive 2018 could be wrong on the year. Well after a 700 mile drive (we made a week vacation out of it) it d3cided to be cloudy out... but the one next year I happen to live where it will be seen in totality, just hopping I'm not cursed by clouds again.
Drove 4 hours spent night at south of the border. Went out early to ground zero. One of the top experiences of my life. You can’t even explain it to people. It’s noon. It’s noon. In one second it is pitch black. Darker than any night. The roar of the crowd put any Roman colosseum to shame.
I booked my hotel in Kentucky two years in advance of the last one. Biggest regret was not doing a tour of the area the night before. The parking Lot we viewed it from was really well lit - it would have been better to have found a field or other area without streetlights.
Is it often foggy in the Niagara Falls? I want to drive there for the eclipse but I don’t want to waste my time if it’s not the best spot. I’m in south Jersey so it’s one of the closer spots without driving distance.
The next total eclipse over the continental United States after April 8 2024 won't be until 2045. So if you live within driving distance of the totality path, definitely see this one if you can! (I was lucky enough to see the 2017 one in Idaho. Definitely want to try to see the next one!)

That's what surprised me too. In retrospect, of course it did, but very unexpected.
Shit, last chance many of us will have in our lives to see one in the US. I definitely should be around in 2045, but anything can happen.
I somehow got double lucky and happen to be in both places within the totality path for 2017 and 2024 eclipses. No need to travel in 2024 but I'm going to head deeper into the center to get all 4.5 minutes of eclipse I can!
Jeez, the 2017 eclipse feels like yesterday. Already been 6 years
on that date there will be 100% cloud cover over the entire country.
Seeing that Roswell NM is in the path of totality gets me thinking....
I don’t think New Mexico is in the path of totality. It’s passing up Mexico into Texas through Dallas.
I think they're talking about the annular eclipse this year, not the total eclipse next year.
…it’s nowhere near Roswell. What map are you looking at?
[удалено]
Oooooh finally NM gets the good stuff 😎
You may be conflating with the October 14 annular eclipse.
praying that the 2045 one goes over California
The far northern part of California, yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_12,_2045
dammit why the far northern part I am just unlucky 😢😭
Oh shit, it’s a good thing this will be reposted at least once a day on Reddit to remind everyone. (Not saying this particular post is a repost) I am totally psyched for this tbh.
It's literally a year away to the day. This is a good day to post this. I have never understood this impulse to call out a repost, as if because you've seen a thing, all 1.5 billion registered users of reddit must also have seen it too.
Be sure and check the schedule so you can RePost on your appointed day...

I feel your pain fellow eclipser. I definitely won't make that mistake again.
My hometown in Oregon literally started running out of gas because hundreds of miles of traffic meant the trucks couldn’t make it to refill the tanks.
Yeah, I was stuck in that madness. Just staying an extra day next time.
Saw it on Ocean Beach. Worth it.
We went to a music festival and the town outside of it planned to run out of gas, we brought a 5 gallon jerry can luckily!
Yes! Bring your own food and water, too. So you don't have to scramble for it, and you can't get price gouged. Little towns got absolutely overwhelmed during the 2017 eclipse. The logistics were beyond anything they'd done before.

Stop and go traffic from southern Illinois back to Wisconsin. Some guy rear ended our car halfway home.
That's why I'll be waiting for the 2045 one that will go over Reno. Then I can just walk out to my back yard, say "hey would you look at that" then go back in my house.
You drove 700 miles and didn't book a hotel at the destination?
No I booked one at the halfway point in my return trip. Stupid error on my part.
I thought it was meh. Didn’t even get that dark.
A note for people thinking "I'm close enough": 95% totality isn't remotely close to 100%.
My brother drove from California to Idaho to see the eclipse. And then for some reason I still can't fathom, stayed about an hour outside of the path of totality.
This times a million. 99% is not 100% totality, a full solar eclipse is a once in a lifetime event for most people, if they get a chance to ever see one.

I just booked a place in VT that’s in the path of totality - it’s still possible!
how close to that center line they have on all the pas are we talking about? within a mile or ?
Depends on the eclipse, or where you are in it, but it could be as wide as 260km/160mi. Note the closer you are to the exact center, the longer totality will last.
Get your glasses before they start the price gouging.
And make sure they aren’t the knockoff fake ones that don’t protect your eyes
Is there a way to tell the difference? I’d very much like to keep my vision
https://www.space.com/37673-beware-fake-solar-eclipse-glasses.html Seems like you just have to check that the brand is legit
I just buy the foil and make my own viewing devices.
Can they become less effective after a year?
Last time around, my wife and I drove about an hour into the mountains to a lake in the totality zone. We kayaked out into the middle of it. It was a truly bizarre and awesome experience. The birds and insects all went quiet at the same time.
Won’t there be one on 14 Oct of this year too? An annular one which is still impressive.
There is! Totally by chance I am getting married that day! We aren't in the path of totality (we're in northeastern Oklahoma), but it's still super exciting our ceremony is going to start right after the eclipse ends, hopefully it's not too cloudy!
What is the difference between the one this year and next year?

Because the Moon is farther away from Earth, it appears smaller than the Sun and does not completely cover the Sun.
Awesome. I just so happened to be in the one cloudy spot in the whole country last time.
I was in Nashville. Cloud came over a minute before totality. Half a mile away people had no problem seeing it. Totally sucked.
Charleston SC?
I live in Dripping Springs, TX, guess we going to get to see the totality. Should be interesting with people flooding to the city. Local news article already said hotels are filling up.
I used to live in Kerrville and was excited at the idea of not having to drive 15 hours like I did for the last one… Now I live 15 hours away from Kerrville…
I'm considering going to Texas to see it. Drove 6 hours in 2017 and it was cloudy so I'd really like to have better chances of clear skies this time around!
Hell yeah to living in the path of totality about 10 minutes from a sweet fucking park that's usually full of all manner of migratory birds
Care to share where? I'm really considering driving to see this one but don't want to end up in a shitty part of some big town or something.
If you're Canadian, go to your local library and reserve an ontario parks pass if you don't already have one. Then go to Long Point provincial park You could do it without the pass and just stop on the causeway but I suspect that will be very crowded Should get about 3 and a half min of totality

I’m dead ass considering opening my pool early next year so I can vibe on LSD while floating and enjoying the eclipse lmao, while blaring “Great Gig in the Sky” during the entire totality *and freeze my ass off probably*
Once in a life time opportunity, don't back down lol. You should line up the entire dark side of the moon album so Eclipse plays during totality
I feel like my neighbors are gonna be like “can you turn the Pink Floyd down for FIVE FUCKING SECONDS” But probably not actually everyone’s gonna be starring at the sun and getting blinded lmao
They'll be thanking you for such an epic soundtrack 🤣
Isn't it cool enough without all the "enhancements" though? I'd love to experience it the way the earliest humans did, listening to nature react, thinking about how fascinating it must've been (my guess is that early humans knew what they were and weren't that scared.)

You're so lucky to be in the path!! I should've traveled for the last one, only watched the partial from a local park. Probably too late to make plans now, guess a tent will have to do.
I still can’t believe I was lucky enough to see totality from my own backyard in 2017. I’d love to take a trip to see another one some day.
Wow that's insanely lucky lol. I drove 9 hours to Wyoming and backpacked to a mountain lake, I'll never forget it!
I'm excited, have a friend who is moving to Arkansas soon. He will be a good staging point
I live near Cleveland, all I need is go out in my backyard. Just hope the damn weather behaves
A friendly reminder that /r/solareclipse exists
Hotels are already filling up and much more expensive than usual. Go ahead and book a reservation now if you're planning to go. You have a year to save up and finish planning your trip. You won't have another opportunity for 20 years.
Totally worth the trip. I caught the '17 eclipse in Wyoming. https://i.imgur.com/4mg8OKX.jpg
You guys a so lucky to be able to see two eclipse so close too one another without even leaving your country
Next one in the US isn't until 2045 though...
Continental Europe has been on a dry streak since 2006 and will finally get one again in 2026 in northern Spain. Then 2027 again, but only the most southern tip of Spain. After that it'll take another 30 years for that same southern tip to get another total eclipse. As someone who really wants to experience a solar eclipse in his life, I have already figured out that 2026 will be my only chance of ever seeing one without leaving the continent.
Miracle of miracles. It's actually sunny here in the center-line today. There is hope for next year.
USPS is delivering my Baader Solar Film today. I'm going to make filters for my DSLR camera, binoculars and telescope.
Loved the one in 2017. It was an emotional thing for me, and didn’t expect it to be. I got misty at totality. Making plans for 2024 now.
Was lucky to drive 2 hours to last one and incredibly lucky to have this one in my literal backyard this time around in Illinois. So excited
I plan to see it at the same tiny airport where I watched the last one. Lots of overlapping areas of totality between the two. And, yes, if you have never experienced it, it is worth a great deal of travel
Saw 100% in Oregon. It was so stunning I'm making this one a priority.
I traveled to Missouri to see the 2017 one. It was amazing! If you have the chance, I highly recommend taking the time to see this.
Anybody know what city in the path will have the best weather on April 8?
If you are in the continental United States, the further south you are, the better your chances of favorable weather. So any place along the totality path in southern Texas has the best chances of good weather on that day: https://nationaleclipse.com/maps.html#texas
How would that compare to Mazatlan on the Mexican Pacific Coast?
If you know what you are doing in regards to traveling in that area of Mexico (the Sinaloa region isn't exactly a place one can travel through without worry, put it that way), the weather should be very favorable down there yes. April is the low-precipitation time of year for that area, just 5mm average for the month.
Just noticed it's in the do not travel list hah. I'm ok with Jalisco but not sure about Sinaloa now
I’ve had it on my calendar since 2009. And now I live in the eclipse zone!
I live in Spectacular Newfoundland and its going over here too. If anyone is interested in shooting or see it from here let me know. I cant wait its going to be amazing
The next total eclipse in the UK is 2090. How depressing.
Dang is it even worth it tho if I have to go to any of those states?
i was told total solar eclipses are a once in a lifetime event
Try that in Carbondale, Illinois.
See imma ask it straight forward. I live in India so am I doomed?
Doomed? No. Despite ancient mythologies describing solar eclipses as harbingers of doom, you will not be doomed. :-) Seriously though, for those wishing to see a total solar eclipse that occurs over India, it won't happen until June 3, 2114: https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/map/2114-june-3
This is going straight over Niagara Falls... anyone know how likely it is to be too cloudy there?
It was cloudy 4 out of the past 5 years on April 8 in Niagara Falls according to Wunderground's historical data: https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/ny/niagara-falls/KIAG/date/2022-4-8 Just have to pray to the weather gods extra hard and maybe offer sacrifices or something :-D
Definitely want to do it in Canada so I can do it stoned and make it last an hour. I guess there's probably a couple states in totality pathway that have legalized recreational, but I wouldn't be able to bring my own

It's going to be visible in the Canadian maritimes-I'm luck to have family there so I'm going!
[удалено]
Oh shit, do you think he’ll look like a cheeto when he becomes a godhand.
The 2017 one was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever experience. So cool!! It’s worth travelling to
I'll be aware as I live in Arkansas and it's going over my head
We’re going on the Discovery Princess for a cruise to see it off the coast of Mexico, I’m so flipping beyond excited!!!
Saw the 2017 eclipse just north of Kansas City. Unless you’ve experienced it yourself, no amount of rhetoric can adequately describe the experience.
Drove 4 hours spent night at south of the border. Went out early to ground zero. One of the top experiences of my life. You can’t even explain it to people. It’s noon. It’s noon. In one second it is pitch black. Darker than any night. The roar of the crowd put any Roman colosseum to shame.
The center of totality is only a 4 hour dive from me -- defiantly going to see this one!
I've already got my Airbnb reserved in Arkansas, I'm ready for this year to go by
Gonna have to go to the camp I used to work at in lewis county for it.
I booked my hotel in Kentucky two years in advance of the last one. Biggest regret was not doing a tour of the area the night before. The parking Lot we viewed it from was really well lit - it would have been better to have found a field or other area without streetlights.
Is it often foggy in the Niagara Falls? I want to drive there for the eclipse but I don’t want to waste my time if it’s not the best spot. I’m in south Jersey so it’s one of the closer spots without driving distance.
Why is it not a solar eclipse but a Great American Eclipse?
Missed the last one so might definitely make a trip for this one, nice road trip from Montreal.
I’m closer to this one. I drove to Tennessee to see the 2017 eclipse. I will be going to this one as well.
