The next total solar eclipse won't arrive for two years, and if you're in the U.S., you'll have to travel to see it.
I was unfortunately outside the path of totality when the April 2024 eclipse happened, but the small partial eclipse I did get to see was still beautiful. For those like me who missed totality this time around, catching the next total solar eclipse might not sound like a bad idea, except if you're in the U.S., you're going to need to travel to see it.
Having flown back in while people were flocking back through the DFW airport after this month's eclipse, I can definitely say it will likely be very crowded in the path of totality come 2026. If none of those destinations seem like a hit, you can also wait until 2027 for a chance at totality, as a total solar eclipse is expected to hit Egypt on August 2, 2027. That eclipse should pass right over the site of the great pyramids.
