OUR Last Solar Eclipse

The last time in which we could view a Solar Eclipse in North America was in the year 2017.


"All that is now 
All that is gone 
All that's to come 
and everything under the sun is in tune, 
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon."
~ Pink Floyd ("Eclipse") 

"Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse   naturally won
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun."
                         ~ Carly Simon ("You're So Vein")

The pic from outside our house in the rather cloudy sky without using the glasses.

and, with the glasses ... what I vividly saw looked exactly like the pic second from the left which looked like a crescent 'sun'. Absolutely amazing to see!

So, when is the next total solar eclipse visible in North America?

  1. I was at a friend's house to watch the 2017 eclipse. We used a camera obscura which was fun. An eclipse in 2024, something to look forward to
