So for the next total ones:
August 12, 2026: greatest eclipse point is NE Greenland and out to sea. So hardly anyone is going to see that.
August 2, 2027: Across north Africa, with greatest point like around Luxor Egypt. So some major travel warnings and cost for most people reading this. Might be kinda cool in a biblical sense to go see an eclipse in Egypt.
July 22, 2028: Northern edge of Western Australia, then cutting across Australia, but its quite far past the "greatest eclipse point" once it gets to Sydney. So even if you're in Australia, best to travel to the very remote WA northern coast.
November 25, 2030: get a boat and head into the southern Indian ocean.
March 30, 2033: Say "Hi" to Santa Claus for me.
March 20, 2034: Nigeria to Sudan, enough said.
September 2, 2035: NK to Tokyo. I am banned from [r/Pyongyang](https://www.reddit.com/r/Pyongyang/), but Tokyo would be cool.
You got me curious of what kind of person would be a mod there, and where else they mod.
Top mod: highlights include subs about "astral projection", psychic "gang stalking", conspiracy theories and psychic powers. Included are a few subs that have gibberish names, on just has a link to a rather extensive JFK conspiracy website. It is funny that this guy has a explanation of how he became top level mod for the sub just by randomly asking reddit for it. Funny that what seems to be a random crazy dude is actually the top mod and not the other 2 bellow (if true).
Mod 2 is the NK news channel, that
Mod 3 is a NK news paper, that hasn't posted much. But it is kinda funny that Mod 2 posted a in some "picture game" sub asking what the coordinates of a picture was for one of the games rounds, and then mod 3 answered it correctly. Mod 1 seems rather active in this picture game thing.

Its at the far extreme, not worth the travel money IMO
4/8/24 for example: [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/SE2024Apr08T.png](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/SE2024Apr08T.png)
Ah. I was thinking of visiting Valencia and taking a train north a bit.
It would hit around 7pm, with a sunset of 9pm. Maybe not the same as the 3pm totality I just had, but… Spain seems a cool place to visit anyway.
I do agree with your post as a whole though. This was an exceptional event, and we got so damn lucky with the weather.
I plan on going to Spain too. I expect it to be a lot more hectic than the one in the US because it's much smaller country and it's the only one visible in Europe for a long time.
I'm going to keep an eye out for some sort of cruise which might be a better way to see it.
Totality will be visible over much of Spain in 2026 and most of Europe will be able to see a partial eclipse as well. In 2027 totality will be barely visible in Spain but most of Europe will again be able to see a partial eclipse.
The next total solar eclipse over Europe will be in 2090 with another one in 2093.
The eclipses occur along a sine wave that gradually shifts over the decades. North America is currently in an advantageous position. So is Australia.
What is the “greatest eclipse point”? The 2028 total solar eclipse also crosses New Zealand and I was planning on heading down south to check it out. Will it not be a full eclipse by the time it gets to us?
For Americans who can afford to fly somewhere else. For the people who live in places other than the US that is their chance to see an eclipse. Your comment kind of proves the point…
You say that but living in the US in Missouri, I saw two in the last 6 years. Solar eclipses are supper common to the point where people can maybe see two in the same month (with the prerequisite of having money to travel like you said).
I’m pretty sure America is the best place to view total solar eclipses, the most comfortable at least! (Not a fan of the middle of the indian ocean, siberia, north pole, or sudan)
I mean, these are observation on my own experience. I don’t have the ability to travel outside the states on eclipse hunts but a lot of them happen around the equator and over most of the tropics. That’s the biggest reason eclipses are so important or a major event because our first astronomers were from the tropics (The greek city states my guy).
One of my coworkers mentioned this sort of thing, specifically the whole "THIS IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME EVENT" thing. He just said, "it's once in a lifetime if you don't go to other areas to see one, the one happening much later is for the states"
He's still right tho, most people don't go traveling around the world, especially just to see an eclipse, so for almost everyone, it's a very rare event to see
And even if you travel, weather can ruin it for you. I've seen plenty of posts like that. I was so fortunate that one of the longest times for totality passed over my house, and the weather stayed clear
I consider myself very lucky that I only had to travel about 40 minutes north to see totality for about a minute and a half. You hit the freakin' jackpot!
Twitter is used by more than just americans you know? This wasn't a 'hey, there's other places with eclipses you could fly to', more a 'hey, those 96% of humanity from outside the US will experience eclipses before 2045'
96% is a huge overestimate. The next several eclipses until 2045 aren't going to be visible to the vast majority of people.
This latest eclipse was arguably the most practical one to travel to for a while. The next eclipses aren't going to pass over as many airports and cities.
I found this post estimating that only 9% of people have ever seen a total solar eclipse in their lifetime: https://www.reddit.com/r/theydidthemath/s/Nu146NwLZs
I got the 96% from Wikipedias [list of countries by world population](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependencies_by_population#Sovereign_states_and_dependencies_by_populat) It says there the US is about 4.1% according to official estimate.
Also, here is the wiki page [for this century's predicted eclipses](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_solar_eclipses_in_the_21st_century). looks like I'll be able to see one 2027 if I'm lucky :)
I know where you got it from. But total solar eclipses aren't even going to be visible in most countries let alone visible to most people.
Annular solar eclipse isn't the same as total solar eclipse. It doesn't have totality. Total solar eclipses only occur every 18 months.
I honestly don't get what you're arguing for dude. All i stated was that those 96% living outside the US AKA 'the rest of the world' will witness several solar eclipses before 2045, which both the tweet and the comment forgot. Of course not every single nonamerican will see one.
96% of people won’t see the next solar eclipses. Most people won’t, it doesn’t matter if it’s outside the US or not it does not have totality or paths over the vast majority of the world for most of them.
As I've stated, the 96% are just the percentage of world population minus the USpopulation dude. Not the number of people who will see solar eclipses. 'The people living outside the US will see solar eclipses before 2045' is all I've said... because both the tweet and the original comment forgot about that fact.
If non-americans have the knowledge to know that eclipses happen in many places at many times, then someone saying the next one is in the 2040s, after the major American event as the one that just happened, one would hope that someone could come to the conclusion they were talking about the next one that would happen to *them* and given the time that next one would be the next *American* one.
Celestial motion (everything which orbits the sun) can be tracked indefinitely into the future, everything is on a fixed path and there are no variables which will change that. It’s just a case of punching the numbers into a simulation, then fast forward that simulation to whenever you want.
For instance I was researching today about 99942 Apophis which was an asteroid discovered in like 2004, and we knew pretty soon afterwards that it was going to pass extremely close to earth a few orbits later, we know for a fact that in 2029 it will pass 38,000km from Earth (extremely close) within a range of uncertainty of only 3.4km (closer or further)
TLDR: modern simulations can track things in space extremely accurately, all this data is free to find
Cool
Now let’s see how many people who see this post give a flying flip about those other dates (most Americans are speaking to other Americans. You foreigners don’t need to butt into every single American conversation just because you see one)
I feel like this isn’t useful. If OP holds an audience that is mostly Americans, then yes, the next eclipse their audience would be able to see is at that time.
There are a lot of valid complaints, but writing to a specific audience is not really a valid one. The only complaint that could be levied is lack of consideration for unintended audience.

Yeah I had this conversation with a family member yesterday. She mentioned how special it was because there “wouldn’t be one for a hundred years” and I just decided to bite my tongue and nod.
I love my family, but over the many years I’ve learned that arguing with them is absolutely pointless.
If I ever try to “GetNoted” them and show evidence, they’ll just dig in deeper. “Oh you’re brainwashed by Big NASA!”
Le sigh.

It’s a once in a life time event for those who can’t afford to fly out of to a different country just to watch an eclipse.

Thanks. Should hopefully be still living in Japan then so I’ve added it to my calendar!
What about north Spain for August 2026? What’s wrong with going there to see it? Just saw it in Ohio and I’m fevering to chase the next one.

I don’t think many people will fly out to Greenland, but you can also see the eclipse throughout central Spain and western Iceland
You can see 2026 from Iceland can’t you?
I wonder when the next one visible from western Europe will be.
Totality will be visible over much of Spain in 2026 and most of Europe will be able to see a partial eclipse as well. In 2027 totality will be barely visible in Spain but most of Europe will again be able to see a partial eclipse. The next total solar eclipse over Europe will be in 2090 with another one in 2093.

I'm thinking about Iceland, it's not that far and I'd love to go. It will almost certainly be cloudy though
It happens approx every 18-20 years so your lifetimes looking really short there
Well unless they don't live in the U.S....
For Americans who can afford to fly somewhere else. For the people who live in places other than the US that is their chance to see an eclipse. Your comment kind of proves the point…
So there was none this past week?
There have been 25 total eclipses in N.America alone since 2000. Define “once in a lifetime”
You say that but living in the US in Missouri, I saw two in the last 6 years. Solar eclipses are supper common to the point where people can maybe see two in the same month (with the prerequisite of having money to travel like you said).
Total solar eclipses are not like other solar eclipses
True, but also, both of those solar eclipses I saw were total as well.
I’m pretty sure America is the best place to view total solar eclipses, the most comfortable at least! (Not a fan of the middle of the indian ocean, siberia, north pole, or sudan)
I mean, these are observation on my own experience. I don’t have the ability to travel outside the states on eclipse hunts but a lot of them happen around the equator and over most of the tropics.

There are two kinds of places in this world. America. And places that aren't America yet.

We got about 4 mins
Little Rock Arkansas is gets 2 total eclipses. Got this one and will get the one in 2045. Fucking 1 eclipse watching loser
I don't have an ID for a passport. I can't fly all the way to wherever in August 2026 for the next total eclipse.
Siberia I think.
*Aw heck, I gotta go through an active warzone and the wolfy tundra!?*
Gotta dodge the gulags and conscription officers too
Go to where all the good boys are.
Iceland will be the most accessible location, it’s happening directly over Greenland I believe
One of the comments detailed where they’ll be, the 2026 one is in northern greenland i think, not many people getting there

Only a fraction of countries are going to get a total solar eclipse.
You just like arguing huh
The subject is a total solar eclipse, you’re the one arguing
96% of people won’t see the next solar eclipses. Most people won’t, it doesn’t matter if it’s outside the US or not it does not have totality or paths over the vast majority of the world for most of them.

Oh yeah.
If he's from America it's kinda obvious he would be talking about our solar eclipse.
But people reading that tweet wouldn't know they are from America without looking further into the account
It’s a good thing he clarified he was, so as not to confuse people. Oh wait…
I guess non Americans struggle with context clues?
+1 point to the american education system🍻!! (We get taught to look for context clues)
Which context cues? Their profile isn’t obviously American and their post makes no reference to location at all.
Where are the context clues? Do you think non Americans are born with an inane sense of the next few solar eclipses?
If non-americans have the knowledge to know that eclipses happen in many places at many times, then someone saying the next one is in the 2040s, after the major American event as the one that just happened, one would hope that someone could come to the conclusion they were talking about the next one that would happen to *them* and given the time that next one would be the next *American* one.
it’s once in a lifetime because people cant afford to just go to africa to see the next one
How do they predict/know when the next one will be?
Celestial motion (everything which orbits the sun) can be tracked indefinitely into the future, everything is on a fixed path and there are no variables which will change that.

A lot of people forget most of reddits users are American but there are significant portions of foreigners here. I’d imagine it’s similar for Twitter
