when is the nearest eclipse
When can I see the next TOTAL solar eclipse from North America? The NASA Eclipse site http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/solar.html will show you the eclipse nearest your location. The next TOTAL solar eclipse in North America occurs on August 1, 2008 but it will only be visible from northern Canada (Nunavut). The next TOTAL solar eclipse visible from the United States occurs on August 21, 2017. The track goes from Washington State, and exits on the east coast near the Carolinas.
