Coming Soon to a Neighborhood Near You!
To see a total solar eclipse, you have to be in exactly the right place
at exactly the right time—inside the moon’s shadow as the earth,
moon, and sun align.
This map shows the paths of totality of upcoming total eclipses. To see
one in person during the next few years, you’ll have to do some traveling—or
you can wait until August 21, 2017, for the next solar eclipse to pass
over the United States.
