The next eclipse of the sun you'll be able to see in California is going to be May 20, 2012. Late that spring afternoon, all of northern California north of a line from Punta Delgada to Lake Tahoe will be directly in the path of an annular eclipse of the sun. All the rest of the state sees a deep partial eclipse. This will be a "welders glasses" eclipse. It does not become night in the daytime, but the moon will move completely across the sun, leaving a thin, fiery ring (or "annulus" in Latin, hence the "annular" eclipse) lasting for over five minutes. There will be other solar eclipses before then, but none is visible in California. For instance, in the late evening of Wednesday February 6th, an annular eclipse passes over parts of west Antarctica. Since it happens around 8 p.m. Pacific Time, you can't see any of this solar eclipse. The only inhabited parts of the world in its path are New Zealand and the southeastern corner of Australia, which see a partial eclipse of the sun in the late afternoon of February 7th (west of the International Date Line).
