Solar Eclipses in the next 5 years

Here is a simple list of what is coming up in the period from 2021 to 2026. For more information see Fred Espanak's Eclipsewise site

December 4, 2021

2021 takes you to the bottom of the world. Most folks will be observing this from a ship. The odds of actually seeing something are fairly low. There is also the question of what the COVID situation is going to be like in Argentina in November.

April 2023

April 20,2023 returns to either Australia or the eastern Indian Ocean. The two real choices are ship or cram into a remote corner of Australia. The program presents simulations for both

Hopefully by 2023 COVID will be a distant memory

October 2023

October 14,2023 This is an annular eclipse whose track is a little south and east of the track of the 2012 eclipse. This program models the eclipse in Albuquerque, NM but there are spots through out the south west including spots in Texas that will cross the next eclipse

April 2024

April 8, 2024 You will probably start hearing about this one next year as "The next Great America Eclipse". The track this time cuts up the center of the country crossing the path of the 2017 eclipse.

The problem with this eclipse is simple. April in Texas. For those that do not know what that means I suggest you read "The Wizard of Oz".

August 2026

August 12, 2026 This is an eclipse that is mostly over water, but it begins in Arctic, crosses Greenland and Iceland, and ends in Spain. I expect most will go to either Spain or Iceland.
