Future Eclipses

The free Totality app was created by Big Kid Science, which subsequently donated the app to the American Astronomical Society (AAS).
For additional eclipse information beyond what you find within the Totality app, please visit the American Astronomical Society (AAS) Eclipse Pages (eclipse.aas.org).

The Totality app has built-in maps for a total solar eclipses through 2050. The first section takes you to these same eclipses on Xavier Jubier’s interactive web pages. Scroll down for info and dates for other types of eclipse (and learn about them at Understanding Eclipses).

Solar Eclipses

Solar eclipses come in three types: total, annular, and partial. (“Hybrid” means the same eclipse path includes some regions where the eclipse will be total and others where it will be annular.)

Total Solar Eclipses, 2017 Through 2049

This first table lists recent and upcoming total solar eclipses through 2049, with links to either Xavier Jubier’s interactive maps or the TimeandDate.com site maps for each for each.

Annular Solar Eclipses

If a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon is relatively far from Earth in its orbit, its full shadow may not reach the Earth. In that case, locations directly behind the full shadow will see an annular eclipse, in which a ring of sunlight is still visible around the Sun at maximum eclipse. As a result, day does not turn into night like it does for a total solar eclipse, and there is never a time when you can look at an annular eclipse without eclipse glasses. The following table lists recent and upcoming annular solar eclipses through 2030, with links to Xavier Jubier’s interactive maps for each.

Date of Eclipse Major Locations Crossed by Path of Annularity
Saturday, October 14, 2023 USA, Mexico, Central America, Colombia, Brazil
Wednesday, October 2, 2024 Easter Island, Chile, Argentina
Tuesday, February 17, 2026 Antarctica
Saturday, February 6, 2027 Chile, Argentina
Wednesday, January 26, 2028 Galapagos, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, French Guiana
Saturday, June 1, 2030 Greece, Turkey, Russia

Partial Solar Eclipses

During a total or annular eclipse, locations that are within the Moon’s partial shadow will see a partial solar eclipse. In addition, sometimes the Moon’s full shadow passes above or below the Earth, in which case there is no path of totality or annularity on Earth, so the eclipse is partial only. Xavier Jubier has a list and map links for recent and upcoming partial-only solar eclipses.

Lunar Eclipses

Lunar eclipses are also worth watching. A lunar eclipse is generally visible to anyone on the night side of the world when it occurs. The following table lists recent and upcoming lunar eclipses through 2032, with links to maps showing where they can be seen from the Hermit Eclipse web site. The dates and times listed below are Universal Time (UT), also called Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) or Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which you can convert to local time with web sites such as timeanddate.com.
