Upcoming Total Eclipses

The next non-Alaska US Eclipse is in 2045. Can't wait until then? Below is a brief summary of some of the upcoming total eclipses.

First, there is a LOT of information out there - Many sites:

Greenland, Iceland and Spain. The extreme west of Iceland juts into the path of totatilty. I won't be long totality. Spain will catch totality very near sunset. It will be very brief, but there will be amazing photography opportunities: an opportunity to frame foregrounds and people doing interesting things with a partial eclipse or perhaps a full corona behind them. But a short totality. And rather than a mid-day darkness, a very weird sunset.

This is the big one.

Touching down in Africa Tangiers in Morroco with 4m 52s of totality. Six minutes 22 seconds of totality over the Pyramids of Luxor, Egypt can we expect the aliens who buit the pyramids to be there for the eclipse?).

This is a pretty good one, if you can get there. Sydney and New Zealand make is a solid destination eclipse.

Northwest to Southeast across Australia through Sydney (3 minutes 49 seconds totality - that's pretty solid) and crossing New Zealand (Dunedin 2 minutes 51 seconds).

Slim pickin's for a while
