That's a wrap on another total solar eclipse. And while the
coincidental geometry and
views of the phenomenon are certainly awe-inspiring, it's worth noting it's not
that hard to see a
total eclipse.
Yes, it's a rare scenario—the last time the path of totality swept
across the entire nation was in 1918—but a smaller swath of the country
will be hit with totality in 2024, and 2045 will usher in a path almost
as nation-wide as the one we were treated to this year. If you're
willing and able to travel a smidgen further, South America is set to
see total eclipses in 2019
and 2020.
