The April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse captured the internet for a few days as millions of people across North America had a chance of witnessing the cosmic phenomena. How long will it be again before a total solar eclipse passes through North America? Unfortunately, it will be an eight year wait until the next North American total solar eclipse, scheduled to happen over Utqiagvik, Alaska in 2033. But what if you can't wait that long and don't mind traveling to catch one?

Within the next 10 years there will be seven total solar eclipses happening in various locations around the world. The next total solar eclipse will happen on August 12, 2026, and it will be in Europe, marking the first total solar eclipse in Europe for 27 years. The path of totality will pass over Greenland, western Iceland, and northern Spain.
