After next year's event, the next total solar eclipse to hit the U.S. won't be until 20 years from now.
NEW YORK — Dust off your eclipse glasses: It’s only a year until a total solar eclipse sweeps across North America.
All in all, it will hit parts of 13 U.S. states: Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Cities in its path include Dallas; Little Rock, Arkansas; Indianapolis; Cleveland and Buffalo, New York. Total eclipses happen about every 18 months, but a lot of times they cross over remote areas where few people see them.Solar eclipses occur when the moon passes in between the Earth and the sun, blocking the sun’s light from reaching us.
“The stars are out. All of a sudden, all the animals are quiet,” recalled Brown, of Arlington, Virginia. Carbondale — in the crossroads of both the 2017 and 2024 eclipse paths — will hold a viewing event at the school’s stadium again. It’s a big group experience, Baer said: “The last 20 minutes before totality, the stadium gets as loud as a football game.”
Brown and her husband are planning to join Duncan’s eclipse tour in Austin. Her first eclipse experience flew by.
