When is the next total solar eclipse in the U.S. after today? See the paths for the 2044 and 2045 events
CBSN
Eclipse-watchers have been waiting more than six years since the last time a total solar eclipse charted its way across the United States, in 2017. After the rare event arrives on April 8, be aware — the next chance won't be coming around any time soon.
Viewers in what's called "the path of totality" will see the moon completely block the sun — an opportunity those in North America won't have again for 20-plus years. The next total solar eclipses in North America are not anticipated until 2044 and 2045.
"A total solar eclipse is one of the most spectacular things anyone can see in their lifetime," Virginia Tech astrophysicist Nahum Arav told CBS News. The eclipse "looks like a black hole in the sky," said Arav, who watched the paths of totality of eclipses in 1991 and 2017.
