The land Down Under is about to enter a frenzied period that will see FIVE Total Solar Eclipses between now and 2038 – the last one on Boxing Day! They actually all occur between 2023 and 2038, so that’s an average of one ever three years, though after a run of three in six years there’s a seven-year gap until the next one in 2037.
There’s a general trend for Total Solar Eclipses to occur south of the equator over the next few decades, so eclipse-chasers should consider their long-term travel plans for visiting the Southern Hemisphere.
