From NASA:
The next three total solar eclipses are:
Total Solar Eclipse of 2008 August 01
It will begin in Northern Canada, proceed past Northern Greenland into the Arctic Ocean. It will enter Northern Russia and move Southeast through Mongolia and ending in China.
Total Solar Eclipse of 2009 July 22
Total Solar Eclipse of 2010 July 11
According to the definition:
An eclipse (Greek verb: eclipse = 'cease to exist') is an astronomical event that occurs when one celestial object moves into the shadow of another. The term is most often used to describe either a solar eclipse, when the moon's shadow crosses the earth's surface, or a lunar eclipse, when the moon moves into the shadow of the earth. ...
;-D Jerry is not correct. Night does not occur as the result of an eclipse of the Earth by the Earth. It takes two celestial bodies to form an eclipse. A shadow is not an eclipse.
Take a look at the Google map of the 2008 eclipse:

The next solar eclipse will occur this evening after sunset, and will be seen, actually I suppose not seen, anywhere on the dark side of the earth. Right?
