When are having a solar eclipse?

Answer 1

The next solar eclipse will be on July 11, 2010, and will be visible across a path from a little east of New Zealand eastward across the South Pacific Ocean. There are very few points of land in the way; a few atolls in French Polynesia, Easter Island, and the southern tip of South America.

For those of us in the USA, the next total solar eclipse is still 7 years away, on August 21, 2017. That eclipse will be visible from Newport. Oregon to Charleston, South Carolina.

You can look up all the eclipses from 2000 BC to 3000 AD at the NASA Eclipse Web Page.
