Here's everything in 2018. If you have a "when is the next eclipse/transit/etc in [insert location]" question, ask and I can answer! Total Lunar Eclipse, 31 January 2018 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_2018_lunar_eclipse#/media/File:Visibility_Lunar_Eclipse_2018-01-31.pngI'm at the very edge of it: I'll see the red moon just barely above the horizon at sunrise on the 31st. Partial Solar Eclipse, 15 February 2018  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_February_15,_2018#/media/File:SE2018Feb15P.png Someone tell Palider he'll get to see 11% of the sun blocked. Partial Solar Eclipse, 13 July 2018 (It gets bonus points for being on a friday the 13th)  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_July_13,_2018#/media/File:SE2018Jul13P.png jgthe1 will see the sun 0.4% blocked (lol) Total Lunar Eclipse, 27 July 2018  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_2018_lunar_eclipse#/media/File:Visibility_Lunar_Eclipse_2018-07-27.pngPartial Solar Eclipse, 11 Aug 2018  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_11,_2018#/media/File:SE2018Aug11P.png Perhaps this shall be the most exciting for members here, though it's mostly as lackluster as the others. Baba: 7.5% (in Umeå) Ariete: 2.6% lommaren: 0.4% (lol) Anhityk: ~0.5% (not exact because of impreciseness of location) Hiromant: ~1.5% (again, not exact because of impreciseness of location) So there you go, as I said ask all the questions you want! |

I've seen two ~90% eclipses where I live, one in 1999 and one in 2015, so now it's either 100% full or I'm not bothered.
There won't be a better solar eclipse here in my lifetime than the ones I've already seen, my best chance to see a total solar eclipse is in Spain in August 2026. It's almost certain to be sunny, plus it's when the sun is relatively warm as well so you should be able to notice it cooling down while it's happening.

If you want to see a 100% one """in the UK""", wait until 2 August 2027 to see one in Gibraltar. Also notable for being the second-longest one this century. |

0.4 % wow that's going to be a complete game-changer sari   I seem to recall one 15-16 years ago or so that was quite a meagre one. Was disappointing. |

Ah nice, I'll go there instead, to hell with Spain |

Saritra, how far are you from getting two total solar eclipses?  |

2024 one goes right through Rochester although I'll be long gone by then. Heres one of my pics of totality during 2017 one from Tennessee:  The sky is a bit off one my phone camera but the sun looks relatively close to real life. |

Colorado, Wyoming, Montana or Idaho would are the states I'm really looking at. Possibly Alberta or BC but I don't think I want to move to a different country. |

Saritra, how far are you from getting two total solar eclipses? Quite.  . Not only that, but I was clouded out by a margin of ten minutes in August. Partial eclipse in the morning with just a few scattered clouds, then a wall moved in. During totality I saw dark clouds, and nothing else, after waiting for nine years. Just 20km east of me, people saw it under clear blue skies. A hole in the clouds appeared just minutes after totality showing more partial eclipse, too. Then we got 2x the average rainfall for the month of August in just one night, on top of already above average precipitation for the month. So at least we got some interesting weather that day, I guess? I wanted to go to Niagara Falls for the 2024 one, but now I think I may go to southeastern Missouri around West Plains just out of spite. I WILL see an eclipse in my state. |

Here's one of my favourite achievements in scientific history, Edmund Halley becoming the first person to correctly predict a total solar eclipse in 1715. His timing was off by four minutes and the track of the eclipse was off by 20 miles, but considering there hadn't been a total eclipse in that part of the world in living memory, he must have had very little data to go on and had to do all the calculations by hand that's still one hell of an achievement.  |

Ariete mentioned eclipses, so: 26 December 2019 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_December_26,_2019 No doubt divisionbyzero0 will obsess over the exact microsecond that it begins and ends, to the point that he forgets to actually go outside and see it. 21 June 2020 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_June_21,_2020 I don't think any forum members will be affected by this one. Caleb Yeung would, but he seems to have fallen off the face of the earth. 14 December 2020 This is one I hope to see. Hey Gior, you should have stayed in Chile!  |

not an event, just the earth's rotation; but awesome perspective

Ariete annular eclipse turku 21 june 2039 21:12 local time (assuming people still haven't realized how stupid daylight saving time is by then) if you want total you have to wait until 2927 assming turku is still above water by then if you want a partial eclipse: 10 june 2021. the real show will be in parts of canada where literally no one lives.
