It depends on where you're on the timeline.

The next total eclipse visible from the US (after April 8, 2024) will be in 2033 but not in the contiguous US, only in NW Alaska.

The 2044 total eclipse in the US will only be in parts of Montana, North Dakota, and a tiny corner of South Dakota.

The next total eclipse after that is in 2045 and will be from Northern California to Florida.

Yeah, but the next one is tomorrow

But there will be a European one in 2026.

The Total Eclipse in Europe will cross southern Spain on the evening of 12th August, 2026. Next total eclipse in Europe will rarely be the following year, 2027, in the southern Spain. Next after will only happen in 2061, over Russia and Kazajstan

And I'm gonna remember this April American one being hyped and I'm half a world away from seeing it.

Some form of frequency illusoon, I'm sure.

200 million people either live in, or within driving distance of, the path of totality.

And lots of hotels and Airbnbs have been booked. So much hype.

that's a really cool map, thank you for posting 🙂

Proof the eclipse was manufactured by Big Bnb!
