When is the next eclips coming to toronto? & how often is there an eclipse each year?

Answer 1

Hi Toronto!

The next one is a total eclipse of the moon mid-evening (Eastern Time) on Wednesday, February 20th! And we in North America have good seats!

It starts 8:43 p.m. Eastern Time on February 20th, reaching totality at 10 p.m. Prime Time! (Not before dawn like yesterday morning's eclipse.)

Note, by the way, that some writers telling you that it's on Feb 21st are mistaken. They're giving the times of the eclipse in England, but there it only happens after midnight. For us in North America the eclipse happens on Wednesday the 20th.

What about the next solar eclipse? At Toronto, technically you'll see a partial eclipse of the sun at sunset on May 20, 2012, but the moon just grazes the solar disc as the sun sets that evening. The one November 3, 2013 is like that too, only at sunrise. And the same again October 23, 2014.

The next solar eclipse at Toronto worth waiting for is August 21, 2017, when 75% of the sun's disc will be covered at mid-eclipse around 2:30 that afternoon.

But you want a total eclipse of the sun! And, it's not all that far away. The next total solar eclipse at Toronto is April 8, 2024 just over 16 years away. About 3:15 p.m. that afternoon, Toronto and a hundred-mile wide swath across the continent will see the most sublime spectacle in nature!

Answer 2

The next total lunar eclipse will be on Feb 21,2008. The entire eclipse should be visible to almost all of eastern and central North America (including Toronto).

Lunar eclipses occur about twice a year.
Solar eclipses are more rare - though there can be a solar eclipse about every 18 months, statistics show that any one particular spot on Earth only sees a solar eclipse every 340 years or so.
