There can be several CENTURIES between total solar eclipses in the same spot. On the other hand, it can be just a few years. There's a town in Illinois that will have two total solar eclipses only 8 years apart, in 2017 and 2024.
Is there going to be a solar eclipse?

How many eclipses are there?
There are typically between 2 to 7 eclipses each year, which can be a combination of solar and lunar eclipses. Solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, while lunar eclipses happen when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon.
Full solar eclipse how often?

How many solar eclipse occur in one year?
Total solar eclipses are rare events. Although they occur somewhere on Earth every 18 months on average, it has been estimated that they recur at any given planly once every 370 years, on average.

How often does a eclipse occur?
There's no regular schedule. Here are a few facts: -- The closest together that two eclipses can possibly be is about 2 weeks. -- On the average over a period of many years, there are about 2.3 lunar eclipses and 2.3 solar ones every year. But that's a long-term average. -- There can be anywhere from one to five eclipses in one year ... lunar, solar, or mixed.
