Going to miss the eclipse? Here’s when the next one will happen in the USA

The next eclipse is on August 21 in the USA, but there’s another one coming up soon …

When is the next eclipse? It’s on August 21, 2017 in the USA, but there’s another one in just seven years.

A little under seven years after the Great American Eclipse comes the Great North American Eclipse, when the Moon-shadow will race across the entire continent. After making land at the city of Mazatlan in Mexico and crossing the states of Durango and Coahuila, Totality will sweep across Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, New York, Vermont and Maine, and New Brunswick and Newfoundland in Canada.

Stand anywhere within the Path of Totality and you’ll get between 3 minutes 30 seconds and 4 minutes 30 seconds of Totality – over a minute more than in 2017.
