when is the next solar eclipse?

Question

thats when the moon comes in front of the sun, right? when will this happen again?

Answer 1

The next total solar eclipse in the USA will be August 21, 2017. There are a bunch more that will happen sooner, but they are in places like Greenland. See the sources or just go to www.nasa.gov and type "eclipse" in the search window and take the first hit.

Answer 2

Yes, a solar eclipse is when the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun and blocks the Sun's rays. The next total solar eclipse visible from the US will be on August 21, 2017 (see the following webpages: http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/se...

Note that solar eclipses are visible in other parts of the world on a fairly frequent basis. So, if you can travel, you can see solar eclipses sooner rather than waiting for the event to come to the US. For example, the next solar eclipse (a parital one) will be on September 11, 2007 and will be visible from South America. See the following webpage for more information:

Answer 4

According to wikipedia, the next eclipse will be September 11, 2007. The next total eclipse will be August 1st, 2008.

But keep in mind that in order to see an eclipse, you have to be in the right location. For one thing, you have to be on the day side of the Earth when the eclipse occurs (So that rules out half the planet.) And for total eclipses, you have to be at the right latitude; the moon isn't quite big enough to blot out the whole earth. Only places directly below the moon see a total eclipse, everyone else gets a partial. (Except the losers on the night side of course.)

Answer 6

There are usually a couple of solar eclipses a year, but to see them as total you usually have to travel far from home, because they are only visible in a narrow band. I travelled to Libya to see the eclipse on 2006 March 29, and it was wonderful.
