The “Great North American Eclipse” is over—but when is the next eclipse in the U.S.?
A lot of U.S. media gets this wrong, with “20 years” often parroted by journalists who don’t fact-check. It’s not true.
The next total solar eclipse in the continental U.S. is on March 30, 2033, when Alaska (and Russia) will see a totality lasting up to 2 minutes 37 seconds.
The next total solar eclipse in the contiguous U.S. (contiguous refers to the lower 48 states in North America, including the District of Columbia) will occur on August 22, 2044.
