Map of Total Solar Eclipse Path in 2017 August
Explanation:
Would you like to see a total eclipse of the Sun?
If so, do any friends or relatives live near the path of
next summer's eclipse?
If yes again, then you might want to
arrange a visit for one year from today.
Next year on this exact date, the path of a
total solar eclipse will
cut right across
the center of the
contiguous USA.
All of
North America
and part of
South America
will experience, at the least, a
partial solar eclipse.
Featured here is a map of the path of totality,
computed by eclipse expert
Fred Espenak of
NASA's
GSFC.
Many people who have
seen a total solar eclipse
tell stories
about it for the rest of their lives.
The last
path of solar totality that included any part of the contiguous USA was in 1979,
and the next two will be in
2024
and
2045.
